Hello All,
As you know Seattle had an exciting and transformative off season and are doing very good so far this season. They look to be in a spot to compete for the cup! In this small article I'm going to do a 1/10 score for value for the team so far. Of course these scores can change later but for now this is how they look so far.
Calgary Acquires:
Erlantz Jokinen
Lucifer Olivier Leveque
Seattle Acquires:
S81 NYA 1st (Hulk Hogan 2)
S82 CGY 3rd
S83 CGY 3rd
8/10 - While losing Jokinen hurts right now long term it looks like a steal. With Hogan most likely sticking around long term.
Seattle Acquires:
Venus Thightrap
Prague Acquires:
S82 SEA 4th
11/10 - While I didn't partake in this one a lot its looking fantastic now.
New York Acquires:
S83 SEA 4th
Seattle Acquires:
Luke Thornton
11/10 - Another absolute steal. Getting Thornton for essentially nothing was key in having our team compete. Even if there was a chance he wouldn't sign.
Calgary Acquires:
Pekko Viitanen
Seattle Acquires:
S82 LAS 3rd
5/10 - This one was a bit of a wash. Calgary gets the guy they want and Seattle grabs a pick that might be useful.
New York Acquires:
S81 CHI 1st (Robert Wilk)
S81 RIG 3rd (Jp)
S83 SEA 3rd
Seattle Acquires:
Deagun Rust
Zeedayno Chara
7/10 - This trade was key to making Seattle competitive again. While trading the 12th overall pick was a steep price the extra addition of Rust offsets the cost imo. All in all one of the big trades to get Seattle buzzing again.
Helsinki Acquires:
S82 SEA 2nd
S83 SEA 1st
Seattle Acquires:
Sirdsvaldis Miglaskems
9/10 - I'm not sure why Helsinki didn't do their homework before the draft but their loss is our gain. Getting a just drafted young franchise player for a most likely middling 1st and a low 2nd which lines up with the future competitive window? That's a deal any day of the week.
Might be a bit homer and since this is a .com im cutting it short.
