With the ever-evolving world of AI making life more interesting, I have been doing a lot of things with it over the last month.
I did something at work with it that allowed my team to set new records in terms of freight volume moved. I did some consulting work where I utilized it to have a company compare products and save a quarter of a million dollars in purchasing the next year.
I'm also working on an initiative with it to do something else that will benefit the CCHL going forward. More on that later, as I'm about 60-70% done but have more work to do. The encouraging part is that the hard part of the work is done, and it's refining and setting things up to function how we need them to function. This will be a fun initiative for our league, and I'm excited to make it work!
Another thing that's fun is that ChatGPT enjoys evaluating and providing opinions on our trades. Let's see what it has to say about the last bunch of trades in the CCHL.
Now, keep in mind, ChatGPT doesn't take into account salary or CCHL contracts at all in it's evaluation, just pure value of the players.
Without further ado, I give you their evaluations!
TRADE-BY-TRADE BREAKDOWN
(11/15/25) CHP ↔ HFX
CHP gets:
-
J. Markstrom
-
T. Hertl
-
R. Sandin
-
Oliver Moore-p
HFX gets:
-
I. Shesterkin
-
A. Lundell
Winner: HFX (Fairly Clearly)
Why:
-
Shesterkin is the single best asset in the deal—franchise-level goalie in fantasy.
-
Lundell is a strong young C with real upside.
-
Markstrom is declining; Hertl is still solid but not a needle-mover; Sandin is decent but not premium; Moore is long-term speculative.
CHP traded the star and got quantity over quality.
Unless CHP desperately needed depth, this is a net loss.
(11/15/25) GEO ↔ CHP
GEO gets:
-
M. Johansson
-
J. Edmundson
CHP gets:
-
J. Oleksiak
-
S. Kuraly
Winner: GEO (Slight Edge)
Why:
-
Oleksiak vs Edwinson: Oleksiak hits/blocks but doesn’t score; Edmundson similar but usually carries less fantasy utility.
-
Kuraly is fringe depth.
-
Johansson is easily the best upside player here—young, skilled, trending upward.
GEO gets the only meaningful offensive potential.
(11/12/25) FOR ↔ SEN
FOR gets:
-
S. Stamkos
SEN gets:
-
C. Verhaeghe
-
CGY 4th-26
Winner: FOR (But Context-Dependent)
Why:
-
Stamkos is aging but still a high-end power-play producer when healthy.
-
Verhaeghe is a strong multi-category winger with stability and no major downside.
Verdict:
-
Win-now team → FOR wins big.
-
Long-term build → SEN did fine, but they didn’t get enough for a name like Stamkos.
(11/11/25) CHP ↔ WIS
CHP gets:
-
R. Pulock
-
I. Shesterkin
WIS gets:
-
U. Luukkonen
-
L. Reichel
-
K. Stenlund
-
Max Psenicka-p
-
AMO 4th-26
Winner: CHP (By a Lot)
Why:
-
Shesterkin is elite top-3 goalie value.
-
Pulock is still a solid, reliable defenseman.
WIS receives a grab-bag of mid-tier prospects and depth pieces.
No asset comes close to Shesterkin.
Clear win for CHP.
(11/10/25) FOR ↔ SPR
FOR gets:
-
R. Hintz
SPR gets:
-
M. Michkov
-
T. Toffoli
-
CHP 3rd-26
Winner: SPR (Long-Term) / FOR (Short-Term Contender)
This one depends heavily on league timeline.
-
Hintz is a star C/RW, prime age, excellent category coverage.
-
Michkov is a mega-ceiling franchise winger but still developing.
-
Toffoli + 3rd is nice but not huge.
If FOR is trying to win the championship in the next 1–2 years → FOR wins.
If any long-term value matters at all → SPR wins thanks to Michkov’s upside.
(11/09/25) CHP ↔ DEN
CHP gets:
-
L. Reichel
-
Matt Savoie-p
-
Jacob Rombach-p
-
Max Psenicka-p
-
AMO 4th-26
DEN gets:
-
R. Rakell
-
S. Gostisbehere
Winner: DEN (Short-Term) / CHP (If Rebuilding)
-
Rakell + Gostisbehere still have meaningful fantasy value right now.
-
CHP received almost entirely futures, the only near-term roster piece being Reichel.
If CHP is selling for the future, this is reasonable.
If CHP expected competitive assets, this is a loss.
