First off I know I don't have the cap so i will waive the space upon approval of the deal, if thats not allowed than I will waive right away, either way it will all work out cap wise cause its big boy Brouwer moving!!

So here we go,

I land 3 nice picks right away, I get depth and beasts in all positions that Im lacking in...I move some dead weight in White and Stempy...Little is a cheap resign!!

I realize Im moving a starter and the perception is that I will have put myself out of the running for the cup but Nabby doesnt make or break a team, time to sell him now while the value is still so nice!!

Heres hoping this meetings with everyones approval!!

Cheers Winter

Couldnt pass chance at getting a starter in Nabby. Hate losing Purcell but VAN get's some impact players now with Little being a cheaper resign. Stemp helps replace losses at RW. Nabbys resign is $4.8, and I have enough cap for signing him up. I have a bunch of resigns and cap, I'd rather spend it towards a goalie and be able to compete next yr.

Thanks Gilly

If you were to just send Brouwer in the deal it would make processing easier and faster, otherwise you will have to wait till the approvals are in then place Brouwer on waivers or just risk it now and place him on waivers.

[Gilly]

I waived him in the waivers section so this trade is legal!  Winter doesnt want Troy or having to deal with it!

Worst case is if this is vetoed than me and Winter rework it, it will all work out in the end!!

boys dont be scared to vote, its a great deal for both teams

[Gilly]

haha its not that bad guys, lol

Is Nabokov even playing next season? I understand why Toronto did this, but I feel that this might be too huge of a risk to take. I am going to think a little longer on it before I give my vote, but I wanted to get something out there before Drew has to send the mass PM again.

[Gilly]

uh oh maybe i shouldnt have waived brouwer , i may have lots of cap space haha oopsie

Nabokov is a risk, but a starting goalie is always worth a risk in this league.  And with the cap savings that gets, the deal is ok with me!

I agree its a LOT to pay for Naby who might only have 1 season left but I can see why TOR wants to do this as Starting G's are hard to come by in this league.
