So, we lost. Plan the parade of shame.

It was a valiant effort and all that, and I'm proud of myself and my team. Say, let's take a gander at that team.

Henrik Zetterberg (7.00M, UFA) - Eric Staal (6.50M, UFA) - T.J. Oshie (4.00M, UFA)
James Neal (7.25M, UFA) - Martin Hanzal (2.50M, UFA) - Alexander Radulov (1.00M, UFA)
Milan Lucic (5.26M, exp. 2020) - Travis Zajac (4.50M, UFA) - Radim Vrbata (1.22M, UFA)
Leo Komarov (1.00M, UFA) - Matt Cullen (1.22M, exp. 2019) - Torrey Mitchell (1.30M, exp. 2019)
Phil di Giuseppe (0.75M, RFA)

Mark Giordano (9.50M, exp. 2020) - Duncan Keith (9.99M, exp. 2019)
Alex Goligoski (8.50M, exp. 2019) - Alec Martinez (4.00M, UFA)
Keith Yandle (7.00M, UFA) - Kevan Miller (2.50M, UFA)
David Schlemko (0.71M, exp. 2020)

Craig Anderson (7.50M, exp. 2019)
Alex Stalock (0.75M, exp. 2020)

Bolded are signed past this year. Out of our free agents, our priority, in descending order, is:

Staal
Radulov
Oshie
Yandle
Neal
Martinez
Zetterberg
--replaceable easily--
Zajac
Hanzal
Miller
di Giuseppe
--do not want--
Komarov
Vrbata

Our trade conditions for 2018 are as follows:

IN: Top-25 pick from Dallas; 2nd and 3rd from San Jose (fulfilled); 3rd from Dallas; Top-85 pick from Vancouver (fulfilled)

OUT: Top-28 pick to Washington; Top-40 pick to Montreal; Top-43 pick to Carolina; Top-44 pick to Minnesota; 2nd to Philadelphia (fulfilled)

Clearly, we need to do some cleaning of house to get some of these picks. Looking for a Duncan Keith trade, if at all possible.

We're pretty good at digging through the trash. We did it this past year, and we'll do it again. Hope to see you all in the finals once more next year.

Great 1st season Scorp. One of the most active GMs and made a lot of moves (some appeared crazy) but at the end of the day brought you to the finals. Should be an entertaining offseason seeing what you'll do to turn the team around and reboot for next year.

It was my second season, for what it's worth -- but I'm glad you forgot about my first, I know I'm trying to.

Nice job Scorp, just a note the "Top-85 pick from Vancouver" should read from Min not van

Because I am a gentleman, I will correct you. I am pretty sure I owe you a 2nd and a 3rd, not two 3rds because didn’t Stansty outscore Hanzal?

I would be happy to be wrong.

Ah, it appears you're correct. I'll update that in the OP
