Vegas has decided to reshuffle portions of our rosters we're not completely happy with. That said, we announce a trade with Montreal to acquire a package that addresses our lack of depth on the blueline.
Traded to Mordecai's MTL Canadiens Nick Bjugstad, $2.5m (2017-2020) Carter Rowney, $0.7m (2018-2020)
Shipped to Vegas Golden Knights Sami Vatanen, $2.5m (2017-2020) Fredrik Claesson, $0.9m (2017-2019)
Vegas has veterans on the BLOCK! David Krejci, $6.9m (2017-2021) Patrick Marleau, $4.7m (2018-2021) Michael Frolik, $2.9m (2018-2021) Alex Goligoski, $5.0m (2017-2020) Dion Phaneuf, $3.9m (2018-2021) Matt Cullen, $0.6m (2018-2020) Michael Grabner, $3.3m (2018-2021) currently on IR Drew Stafford, $1.4m (2018-2020)
I think Bogosian is very overrated but if you want a strong depth defender he's you guy and at a cap hit of 1.5m, that's a bargain for what he brings to the table IMO. Tolchinsky is a little bit of a head scratcher for me at least at this point in time but I can see him returning to NA and blowin' up in the new faster and smaller NHL game! If the NHL Caps move Burakovsky, he's going to post bigger point totals immediately so this is a great gamble by Ottawa.
I like this trade because of the potential it bring each team. I think Aberg was a Free Agent pickup in the Fall and that's worked out for Ottawa and to parlay that into some additional building blocks is a smart move for the Sens here.
I estimate FNHL franchise values to be in the $135-$225 range. We will probably update the values of each franchise after the trade deadline in February-March period. Should put a smile on the faces of FNHL owners.
I'm excited to hear this. Imagine if this league was advertised or promoted in various fantasy sports circles? I found this league through a google search and credit to you owners who have made it what it is today.

Gourde is underrated and great value here. Sprong could be great if he lives up to his potential.
