Ducks make one more long weekend splash, trade for Hart
The Ducks continued their questionable trades over the May Long Weekend and dealt for Carter Hart.
TO DUCKS
C. Hart
TO WILD
L. Kunin
1st (CHI) 21'
2nd (PHX) 21'
The 1st (CHI) has special conditions where if Top 10, Wild send a 2nd. If Top 5, Wild send another 2nd. On the flip side, if Bottom 10, Ducks send a 2nd. If Bottom 5, Ducks send another 2nd. Conditions voided if pick traded.
We have no idea if the Chicago 1st will be a good one or not. I tend to believe Tilley will make his team great again just like Trump.
So why make the deal? Well, I hate goalies in this league. They are random and it is hard to know what will perform or not.
What I do like is Hart is amongst elite goalies at his age for his statistics and is trending well. He has a very good team around him too, so I'm hoping I have a goalie stud for a long time and don't need to think about it. It worked 8 years ago with the Habs, so I'm trying it again.
As well, he is 0.75M for 2 more years. So with my backup in Kahkonen, I have 1.25M in goalies for 2 years which means I have more money to spend on my team up front. This means I can now keep Weber, whereas before it was doubtful.
So now after this deal it means I have
Weber - Provorov
Theodore - Dahlin
Thanks Grant for your patience as I deliberated over this one quite a bit.
