Horrible deal for Vancouver, they aren't dumping a top line forward for depth players and a 2nd. That conversation starts with a 1st or a top end prospect. But Vancouver wants to compete not rebuild so wouldn't be looking to dump Miller, you'd have to overpay to get him out.

Oleksiak getting over $2mil. Foligno's production hasn't been great but I would think someone offers him $3mil for his "intangibles".

For the 8 millionth time, the Oilers aren't trading for Engvall.

If Dougie only wanted 7x6 Carolina would keep him

Why trade assets for Dougie to this degree when you can just sign him to 6 years in UFA?

I'm not even a Rielly fan, but this would be a steal that would be dumb to turn down

Miller was going to be played as a 3C next year in Vancouver which is a waste of his talent might as well get an Actual 3C for the team that's cheaper with added prospects. If the Canucks are serious about going ham in FA they need to clear Cap? A deal like this would clear at least 2 Mil from their already tight cap space?

Good luck signing UFA’s after you pull that on Rielly. Why not trade Rielly for a first and a prospect and just sign hamilton?

Can't be too picky with your winger depth mate?

Because Rielly already stated he would resign for Toronto at below market value so instead of 8Mil he'd receive 6 or 7 same as Hamilton. Both Hamilton and Rielly could get 8 Million from a different team but are willing to take a paycut with the previous team they played for? So a Sign and Trade for the two defenceman make sense from a Cap Standpoint

I’m struggling to understand the logic. Rielly has stated (reports) that he is willing to resign with TO for below market value. I will assume this to be a fact. In this case, he is agreeing to remain with the Leafs and get paid less than he’s worth on the open market. In these cases, 90+% of the time, a player will sign a No Movement Clause to ensure that they are going to be playing for the team they signed with, and if they do get traded, they can have 100% control over the destination.

If Rielly wants to play in Carolina, why would he sign with the Leafs for less than market?

Am I missing something in this logic?

Oilers Deciline.

Can't be picky

I find it a big shock that every leaf ACGM that has a Edmonton-Toronto trade in it trades either Mikheyev or Engvall. We don't really need them now, as a lot of our prospects are coming up.

The Spending Habits of the Carolina GM and Owner they don't like to overspend on Players so if Rielly would come in at 1 or 2 million less per year then what he is getting payed he would be open to that type of player with that type of Contract. I'm sure the only reason why Carolina is allowing Dougie to talk with other teams is to gauge what his exact value is on the open market. Rielly doesn't have that luxury because he is still signed but if an extension can be done with Rielly then he agrees to be traded to Carolina for Dougie Hamilton then it's sort of a win win as in Leafs get their star RHD and Shot. Carolina gets a great LHD on a better deal and save on Cap
