so Allen's value basically goes up 500% because of 2 mill in retained salary? yikes

It will be a glorious day when leafs fans realize they wont get a top 15 pick for one year of Andersen

how many times am I going to have to see Carolina trade the 13th overall and more for andersen. Its not equal. Montreal isn't trading a goalie they just acquired. Anaheim isn't retaining. Detroit won't pay a 3rd for Holl when they're rebuilding, they want prospects and picks

gonna put that one on the calendar right next to the day leafs fans realise they wont get anything good for that over rated 3rd liner Kapanen.

You already traded with Pittsburgh, they don't have another top 15 to give you...

i never count things out when teams like Edmonton, Buffalo and Florida are still on the board

Scandella vs 4th
Scandella 50% retained vs 2nd + 4th
So yes, retained 2M is worth A LOT

so by that logic Allen would be worth a 2nd+3rd. Not a 2nd+Dermott.
also deadline prices dont pass on to the summer trade season and doug armstrong's experimental drug trade period isnt a great measure of league value

Dermotts realistic trade value is a 3rd round pick...

no it isnt. plus that ignores literally everything else

Its also good to make comments that make sense. 'ignores literally everything'???? WTF is that supposed to mean other than nonsense?

Yeah, i mean its not like i made a bunch of other points in the original coment that were ignored, right?

Not saying the trade is fair, just saying retaining money is worth more than we think
