I knew my defense corp wouldn't be strong going into this season, but
Strat made it worse than I expected. First, Eminger drops from a 3
Def to a 1, then Visnovsky goes from being a RD only to a LD only
(?!?!?) and Norstrom loses his RD ability, so as it stands Mark
Giordano is my #2 RD behind Corvo. Ouch. So I need a RD or two for
starters, then a decent back-up for Turco. What the Kings do have is
an abundance of forwards, which will get deeper with the additions of
Kopitar and O'Sullivan. The following players are avialable for trade:
F - Straka, Stumpel, White, Carter, Belanger and York. Obviously the
values vary, and if you're willing to part with a better defenseman I
may be willing to offer a better forward...
D - Norstrom, Modry. I'd be willing to swap either for a similar
player (age,ability) who's a RD.
Since my team is re-building team I'd prefer to receive younger
players for older ones, of course. IF one of you have the opposite
defenseman problem (too many RD) then we should definately talk. The
back-up goalie I'm looking for would play at least 20 games, but
preferrably 30 or better.
