Another meh move if Mtl does that (We need top 6 talent )but the price is fine

Just a heads up... signing bonuses have been paid. I did hear that Arizona was late with some of theirs...

pretty possible. i think this is not bad at all and fair.

probably could get a bit more for andreas.. like 1x 2nd round or 2x 3rds. but helps both teams. mango is a middle 6 winger.

wayne simmonds probably worth closer to 1million.
joe thorton maybe similar as well.

mikheyev will probably get a bit more.

dermott would get alot more i think. closer to 2million on a bridge. maybe even 2.5

swap muzzin and rilley positions too maybe.

cool stuff

That pens trade is hardly fair for the pens lol. A top 2 elite RHD with retention for a bottom 6 player, a late 2nd, and late 4th. Pens counter with Morgan Reilly for Jack Johnson, a 2nd and a 4th

brutal for Pittsburgh

I explained my logic in the additional comments. I’ve heard some talk (from podcasts, TV, articles) that GMJR is exploring moving Letang, and he’s been instructed that he is to operate with an internal cap of $70-72 mil. I know it’s way off the board, but just thought it could be a possibility. He did just literally give away Bjugstad.

In a regular season, someone gives Simmonds 3x3 (not saying it would be a good choice). Figured Leafs could get him for just under $2 mil for one year, and figuring Thornton also gets offers of $1.5 mil. Hoping he decides to come to the Leafs for a shot.

Dermott, in this example accepts his qualifying offer with the understanding that he desperately needs to take a step or be passed by Sandin on the depth chart.

Figuring a fair price for Souperman is either just shy of $1.5 mil for 1 year or right around $2 mil for 2.

Also, didn’t realize Reilly and Muzzin were flopped there. I meant to have them opposite.

That internal cap crap has been debunked a million times. Ownership has instructed GMJR to put a contender together whatever the cost. He literally gave Bjugstad away so that he can gain cap room to sign a 3C, McCann, Simon, Jarry, and possibly a 3RD. If the internal cap thing was true, they’d have used their first to get rid of guys like Hornqvist or Johnson, rather than go after Kapanen.
And if he is shopping letang, it is to get an actual return. Not scrubs and late draft picks.
