I don't think Detroit does that

I think Yzerman would. But I doubt the Coyotes would.

.............and volia

vancouver magically creates 7mil in cap space

Even with the retention TB doesn't have Cap space

It fills one spot and opens another. Wings would have zero goalies signed after this year. If they could keep Ned and offer something else probably would make deal.

You have to be kidding. That’s one of the best moves in franchise history.

As long as Arizona retains an additional 75k, they do, and Tampa would accept this deal. Crouse is exactly the type of player they need for the middle 6 for this season. Maybe they keep him beyond this year as well, as he's definitely better than, "I can't finish to save my life" Joseph.

Correction, Tampa would need a slight bit more, but it's easily done as Tampa could send a late pick to a 3rd team for 387k retention no problem. Crouse is a great add for them and would be a great fit moving forward.

They can't it's more than the allowed 50%

He makes 1.533. If Arizona retains 766k, all Tampa needs is a 3rd team to retain 380k, or make an additional move to free up 8k(maybe Rutta gets moved and they add a slightly less expensive dman, or they make another swap). In any case, the $ wouldn't be an issue if this deal was on the table for Crouse.

Too many moving parts for too little gain

Yes from boston. Easily

Pretty sure this is why Trade Machine was added! Now CapFriendly needs to make it mandatory for all trades to clear Trade Machine before being added to an ACGM.

Far from it and considering Crouse is better than any of Katchouk, Raddysh, Joseph or Colton, the one additional move that would have to be made is more than worth it.

You drastically underestimate them besides Crouse's QA is $2,400,000 which they don't have the cap space for it's an easy friggin NO
Raddysh/Katchouk 758k Colton 1,125mil much more valuable besides they haven't had the opportunity Crouse has. TB unlike AZ doesn't rush guys that's why players TB develope don't always put up big numbers because they're stuck behind a great top 6 Yanni Gourde age 25 8piints 20 games age 26 age 26 64points 82 games, Jonathan Marchassault 18points 45
age 26 51points 71 games Carter VERHAEGHE age 25 13 in 52 age 26 36 in 43

The only one that is even close to Crouse is Colton, you vastly overestimate guys who havent shown much. If Arizona would take this deal for Crouse, it's an easy yes from Tampa. Crouse's QO is also approx 1.84, not 2.4, so it's definitely not impossible to keep him.

See above he's so great keep him and no QO is the base salary in the final year which is just over 2.4 mil keep him

Where are you getting these figures? His base salary is 1.75M.

No, the qualifying offer is 100% of the base salary this year of the contract. His contract is 1.533, with the base at 1.75 so, his QO is actually less than the 1.84 I quoted earlier. A 1.75 QO is easily doable. He would be the exact type of player Tampa wants, as he can play up.and down the lines, can PK, can score etc(unlike Joseph who has only missed his last 12 grade A chances, but yeah, he's great...).

Wow, so he can't anything, but he's got a higher shooting %, you got me. Lol, keeping the 3rd line ineffective, very glad you aren't making any decisions.

Not as happy as I am that you aren't how many roster players has JBB traded at the TDL?

Ah yes, back to the garbage, "but JBB doesn't trade roster players" garbage. The 3rd line is terrible and has little cohesion, but sure let's leave them intact instead of acquiring actual players who may help. Just because you think Tampa can't move players off their roster in order to improve doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. To be clear, you've been proved wrong that Tampa couldn't make the trade work, wrong about Crouse's QO, and have had no good argument about why this trade is bad except, "Joseph has a higher shooting %" so even though he adds nothing in favor of Crouse, let's not move anyone to get a better player. Crouse-Colton-Raddysh or Joseph could be a tougher 3rd line to play against and maybe have some actual scoring punch(especially if Joseph was off it). Crouse actually could also play up and provide some real top 6 help if needed due to injury. The fact that Tampa could possibly re-sign him is a bonus.

If tampa moves seabrook at all they are instantly over the cap, not to mention that’s an extreme overpay for a player with a career high of 25 points

Not true. Tampa can move Seabrook and not lose any space. Check for yourself make an Armchair gm

I don’t think you understand how this works, tampa is currently only 700$ below the cap because they have seabrook they are able to place him on LTIR gives them 7 million in cap space, if they took seabrook off LTIR they would be 7 mil over the cap, acgm is broken I don’t know why it’s showing the effects of seabrook LTIR even if you trade him. But to put it simply seabrook allows tampa to go 7 mil ove the cap, which they currently are, you can see this if you check cap friendlys homepage
