Hard no from COL, you must be joking.
Boychuk has 2 yrs at 6mil and you offer Dal Colle as compensation? Lol

COL is contending for a cup, no cap dumps, but if you want to move Boychuk, it’s gunna cost you a 1st +

Yeah awful for COL

TOR paid a 1st to move one year of Marleau at 6mil, it’s gunna cost twice that to move Boychuk

I’d be asking for a 1st and a better prospect than Dal Colle for sure.

Yup, 1st + Bellows or Wilde

I’d take 2 yrs of Johnny for that.

Though you would have to probably move both Cole and Z.

Yeah you’d have to do a lot of juggling

So the Wild trade one of the few good assets we have to get a #1 center and... don't get a #1 center. No thanks.

Habs counter offer: Hudon for a 5th

VAN decline. They are trying to shed salary not gain.

Can Boychuk still be semi-useful in a 3rd pairing / 7D capacity? If so maybe we can do it. The 2nd year is a killer though, not sure it's worth it.

Whatever the case, as you both said Dal Colle is waaaaaay too little compensation to take on Boychuk's contract.

Komarov will also need something of value stapled to him as a capdump. I recently suggested COL 3rd for Komarov + Wilde, and it seemed to appease some NYI fans. Komarov also has a 2nd year but his caphit is much more manageable and can also be buried in the minors to reduce the caphit to around $2.2m.
