Quoting: lilfimpen
AZ can do much better than that for Dvorak and Crouse. They want picks and prospects and Byron and Lehkonen are neither.
AZ is more then willing to take a cap dump
But they want paid for it
I think they've taken 2-3 cap dumps already and they'd still end up with extra 1m cap
Dvorak
for
Byron , Ylonen or Primeau , 1st round pick and a 3rd round pick
They can still use Byron for year then trade him at next years TDL for a profit
Retain salary and move byron to a contender 1.7m cap they're will be a lot of interest for a speedy winger/pk leader
MTL gets someone who can handle the faceoff load Danault did and wont bit%% about playing a middle 6 role.(on our team 2nd/3rd play 1 shift difference under Ducharme)
Dvorak unlike Danault is good for 15+ goals a year and is more capable offensively in that regard. His defensive game is ok but not on Danaults level though
MTL gives up a lot but helps build a contender again this year for Price with the long shot outside chance maybe Weber joins us in the playoffs if only for one game& one shift so he can get a ring
With Dvorak we'd have the Center Depth we need for all our Goal scoring wingers of which there's multiple former 20 goal scorers
Well they're now going to have the puck more often spending less time on the back check thanks to a Dvorak
All we really need is a big physical veteran D like Gudbranson for playoff depth as a kulak isnt built for the grind
