Smart with Arizona. They will love his contract since the actaul cap hit is way more than the actual salary for the remainder of his career.

o.O stop please Gallagher value is not that much.
no body is willing to pay 6mil for a 3rd-4rth liner

canucks arent trading a first and a second to take on ur 6 million dollar problem

It's NOT a 6-million-dollar problem. It's a $34-million-over-5-years, $8-million-in-2023/2024, $9-million-in-2024/2025 problem.

Meh, I could take it out, it was the last trade I threw in there,.

Gallagher is not netting a positive return lol not without a sweetener or retention

You’re not getting positive value on Weber’s contract. I don’t know what fantasy land habs fans live in, but Arizona isn’t bailing you out of your cap situation and paying you to do it

They made nearly the same trade before with Datsyuk (they traded the 20th at 53rd picks for the 16ht overall an Datsyuk's contract)... Arizona moves up in the draft to get the equivalent of a late first rounder (32 overall) in exchange for what might be the 40th and 42nd overall. So they get value in having a better shot at a good player in exchange for one less pick. They also get a contrat with a big cap hit to help them reach the floor, but with very few dollars paid out in actual fact, so a huge win. They can claim 7.8 million against the cap for the next 4 years while only having to pay Weber 6 million over those 4 years. Considering their precarious financial status, that is really good value.
