End of Year

Rangers will think about it. Problem with Rico is half retained may still too much to take on
If they could somehow take Goodrow, and he agrees to waive, they could do it for a first rder w/ no conditions

Then Ducks could buy him out if they wanted. We could do that too, but we need Goodrow off the books now

Vitek/1st for Gibson (at $5m) -- That looks about right.

Miller > Lyubushkin -- that does not

Casey for what?

3rd for what?

Ducks would have to send another piece back...

Pens decline.

With all due respect, even with 50% retention, Silvferberg isn't worth a 3rd. He's just not a very good player. He doesn't really excel in any one aspect of the game. Even with 50% of his cap-hit vs. what he actually brings, I really wouldn't want him even for future considerations. I'd rather call someone up than have his cap-hit taking up space.

To me he's a $1M - $1.5M player.

Ignore the cap hit and focus on the actual money of a Goodrow buyout. It's nearly 8M dollars over the span of 6 years. The price for the Ducks to do that would start at a 1st round pick and might even go higher than that.

Revenue in New York is a lot different than revenue in Anaheim.

He's a European league player at this stage of his career. The Ducks won't bother trading him so he can retire from the NHL as a Duck and then go back home to Sweden next year. I'll be sad to see him go, not many guys left from the Ducks roster that was wining the Pacific division title year after year prior to 2017-18.
