Onto the draft.

[Peace 1,532]

Well despite my best efforts to improve Toronto during this long off season so far, even though there was a tournament to keep things a little more interesting, I can safely say they've all fallen apart like a cheap toy. Toronto was a team trying to acquire Kris Rice, alongside another player from Calgary, in a package deal that saw them both coming to Toronto in return for picks; Toronto's forward core is being reduced by three players, and our defense is regressing as Elmebeck (RIP) nears closer to retirement. 

Seattle obviously got Kris Rice, but not for a lack of the Legion trying to acquire him. Turns out that Rice wanted to head to Seattle anyway, as I understand it from Jubis later on in the trade talks, so to be honest I felt a little frustrated when the resulting deal with Seattle also melted away. Most of the deals I've tried to make the last few off seasons I've been led around the stable, but I'm almost positive this is a familiar feeling with everyone. 

Then we discussed acquiring Andersen with Jubo, but the defender retiring this morning and another missed opportunity goes up on a growing list.

 

So now my attention shifts to the draft... I guess.
