Keeping the band together

It’s gonna cost that second to get rid of that contract.

You’ll have to pay to get rid of that contract big fella

Also I’ll go ahead and offer Marchment a 5 x $3,875,000 and see what he is feeling

Hornqvist isn’t a cap dump though. He still is almost at 40 points a season for his role and if a team like Anaheim gives a third for him then trades him to a contender for 50% retrained you’ll probably get a second.

With the California taxes, he probably ends up with more money making 2M a year in Florida than 3.875M in California.

If your getting rid of him to make room in your cap, he is a cap dump. Player skill may be decent now but at this age it will only deteriorate. Your dealing from a position of weakness seeing how everyone knows why you are making this trade. Look at the Dadonov trade that didn’t happen. Dado is still an upgrade on the Anaheim roster but the need to make room forced Vegas to pay that second rounder.
