Trades w DAL TOR CBJ LV

DAL easily declines. We can just put Hanzal to LTIR, we have no need for MacDonald. He'd be just $5M wasted.

It nets the franchise a prospect with Top 9 potential, and saves Dallas some money if they choose to buy MacDonald out, or they can put him on the bottom line since there are gonna be some holes due to free agents. They could just as easily accept, its 50/50.

Umm how exactly buying out saves money if DAL just puts Hanzal in the LTIR? They get free cap space by that.

MacDonald is of zero use, wouldn't even be a reserve D in DAL, and Twarynski is not tempting enough sweetener to dump MacDonald in any team.

It saves them actual money not cap hit. And if you use MacDonald to replace Lovejoy or Polak he’s basically equivalent. Polak has 9 pts,+6 in 77 games, MacDonald had 9pts, -9 in 47. MacDonald also had a worse goaltender in almost all of his games played, while Polak had Khubodin and Bishop.

Hanzal for basically wasted cap space and an AHL player (potential 4th liner)
Wennberg for a AHL player (potential bottom six), and goalie who's struggled in the NCAA, and a mid round pick.
Kapanen for a LTIR player, an AHL player (potential bottom six), a bottom six Dman, and a late round pick.
Miller for NCAA player who's entering their senior year and could go to UFA and a mid round pick.

Going to need to better.
