2nd for Kerfoot would get you the deal.

NGL that Anderson deal is pretty sweet but think it takes a slight bit more to dump Mrazek. The way I equate this is Anderson for Niemela and throw in Holl. The late 1st to dump Mrazek's contract just isn't enough IMO maybe add something like Amirov or Robertson

I want what you are smoking. Because as nice as it is to move mrazek the cost will be nowhere near what you stated when his buyout is only 1M AAV. Also wouldn't touch that Montreal deal with a ten foot pole.

The have fun buying him out, cause no team is taking 2 years at 3.8 mil for an AHL quality goalie for free. Also it may only be 1 mil this year and 800k next but the final 2 years is 1.4 mil and are you sure you want dead cap space while trying to compete for a cup and having so little space? Not exactly easy to navigate especially when you still need to sign 4 forwards and 2 D and would only have 6 Mil after a buyout.

Kerfoot for 1st

LOL

Pens counter: 2nd for Kerfoot, 5th

We always have dead cap lol, wever had literally 1.4M I think retained from the Kessel deal that just came off so it not like we aren't use to it. In no way does it take more than a b prospect and a second to move him.

Edit: you are essentially saying it will take 2 1sts which is absolutely invalid.

i see it as

Anderson is worth Niemela + (but the + is not a 1st)
Holl's value is pretty low in this context
Dumping Mrazek is worth 2nd+

so Mrazek, Holl, Niemela and late 1st works.

I understand what you are saying, but I value Anderson much less than you do, his productivity for his caphit isn't worth it for us, even though it's a pretty cap equal trade we need better value if we are parting with some of our best trade chips although I don't consider niemela a trade chips as he isn't definitely needed in our future.
