Based on the schedule, it looks like we can expect to play on back-to-back nights relatively frequently...and against teams like the Sharks. So I needed another reliable goalie...and Miller was not good for our team. He had no wins in 5 starts and that just won't work.
After our first game, Hart was down to a 97 in CD and based on the schedule. Even the last game he was a 99 CD...and he played OK.
I cast a decently wide net for goalies and nobody was keen to move any right away...but then Scorp needed a top 6 fwd so there ended up being a fit.
I think I overpaid here, and I really like Laughton. But I had a 70 OVR guy on my 4th line, so could afford to move Laughton.
And, at the end of the day Koskinen is an 86 OVR this year, on a good contract, and should get starter ratings next year as well because Mike Smith sucks.
This makes me much more comfortable going into the remainder of the year.
Thanks Scorp for the trade...it was fun albeit a little bit complicated at the end with all the bodies!!
