russell is 1.5 after the signing bonus and he is still a cap hit of 4 mill which ARZ does not have room for.

I would not do the Pittsburgh, and San Jose trades.

The only trade here that's realistic is the Khaira one, but Montreal is very much the wrong team.

Nashville declines any Neal-for-Turris swap.

Russell is owed $1.5M in actual salary but carried a $2.5M signing bonus. Given that his $1M signing bonus was already paid (July), Arizona would still be on the hook for effectively the same amount as Oesterle, but with no real upside to the trade. They decline.

Columbus maybe accepts, but I've had difficulty pinning down Anderson's value here, as it changes with the weather. You've miserably underpaid the guy too.

Edmonton declines that Pittsburgh trade. Maybe Benning for a 4th and a B-prospect, but Puljujarvi is worth more than a 2nd and a 3rd.

Buffalo declines Chiasson for two picks. Maybe for just the 6th, but their internal cap will prevent them from taking on Chiasson's hit.

Edmonton declines the San Jose trade very quickly. By way of draft pick values, Edmonton gives up too much value in the trade (literally equivalent to the #33 pick). If Edmonton is trading down into the first round by anything greater than 8 spots, they'll be asking for two second round picks in return.

Leivo signs for more in Vancouver and I think you're overpaying Dell.

thank you for the correction. I think its a deal yotes could still be interested in especially if they are looking to keep spending low with new ownership. With OEL being on the block they would shed cap quickly

yes that will still be a hard contract to trade with a flat cap. also they are trying to resign hall..... so the cap space would disappear just as quick as it appeared

Definitely underpaid Anderson. And a 2nd is at least an attempt at fair value... but I think Jarmo is more likely to use Anderson as part of a package to bring back top-6 talent (particularly a 2C), rather than futures.

Can argue JP is probably worth a 2nd, but Benning is worth next to nothing

You want to keep AA just don't qualify him and offer 1.5-2 million. Very little chance somebody claims him for 3 Million once he goes to free agency.
