PURE DREAM for next year's team and the future....

Add $2 million onto Karlsson's contract, He's not taking less then the Doughty deal.

yeah i thought about that too...wasnt sure if he would def get that considering he's getting older and LAK over paid to keep their own (which might bite them) or if something between Doughty and Burns was more accurate.

The Nashville and Buffalo trades are godawful, Washington deal is bad, STL and TBL trades aren't happening

EDIT: Not to mention teams can only retain on 3 contracts max. Not 8

I wouldn't say they're god awful but theyre definitely not the best - hence why i said "PURE DREAM"

That said, the Nashville trade just depends on how much NSH values winning today. Buffalo trade gets them Shattenkirk at a fraction of the price + Pionk who seems to have fallen out of favor in NY and is an RFA and Lias Anderson is the additional cost for the NY (which obviously depends on how much they really see him panning out).

Washington deal isn't bad considering Buch is RFA, won't be expensive to resign and can give Caps some fire power they lacked with DSP...that said, I did this before they JUST traded for hagelin.

I proposed the STL deal because they are surging right now and might find it worth their while to pair Vlad Namesnikov (at a fraction of the price) with Tarasenko/Riley since we all saw how good Namesnikov was when paired with someone like Stamkos.

Per your retained salary conundrum, I didn't realize the max was 3 - is it 3 total at once or per year? Cause then it depends on when the trades happen since Zucc/Hayes salary retention will be eliminated after this season (as will Mcquaids but they also don't have to retain any of Mcquaids)

a team is only allowed to retain 3 contracts

Uh-oh looks like you may owe me an apology. Seems like I wasn’t too far off here and your valuation of players and Nashville’s goals are off:

Where, in a broken link?

Lol leave it to someone like you to take a dig at a broken link. Cry me a river.

The rumor is Hayes and zuc for tolvanen. Google it. The link won’t work for some reason

Very curious as to what you mean by "someone like you", considering we've never interacted before to my knowledge. As for the rumor, it's Hayes and Zuccarello for Tolvanen+. Austin Watson and 2 4th rounders is not a +, especially with the Rangers giving up a 3rd as well.
