Great article. Hit a lot of the Minny stuff on the head. I can elaborate more on some of them as well.

The NOLA trade was a move to shore up out team in the short term as well as add some possible picks in a reddit draft along with a new prospect. Before this trade I already knew I was losing an upcoming forward prospect to FA and NOLA was getting full with the new 17 man roster. So we traded to pick up a player that they would have likely had to trade or expose. Watson even after regression became the 3rd highest TPE forward for the Chiefs and Bergen became replacement for another IA with almost 300 less TPE for the same cap hit. I know not everyone is a fan of trading away higher picks, but while most of my prospects are still developing and already not owning my next first I decided to move to attempting to make the playoffs as opposed to tanking.

The WKP trade was an easy one from my side. Moving back 8 spots in a decent sized Reddit draft meant I could still pick up a quality player, but also add future picks to my assets.

I won't comment on the exact reasons for the TOR trade, but finding a new home for an active outside my conference and getting a great return for my future was a win-win for both sides in my book.
