I mean, I don't really see why Anaheim does it (meaning I hope that they're trying to make additions with on-ice value instead of just trying to hit the floor like a buncha donkeys). Dropping him would also depend on if/how much of his contract is insured...The actual money owed is almost double what the Sabres have in Bishop.

You kick tires. You float ideas.

Yea could be any team. Idk enough about how ltir works but I don’t understand why oilers can’t just leave him there

Well whatever floats your boat

Sharks aren’t doing that

What would you say is fair. Personally I doubt he wins it but I saw someone say a first a second and Kassian for that would be fair. Without Kahkonen. Which in this scenario probably makes sense as Oilers would have cap space to target a more proven goaltender

The issue with LTIR that a lot of people don't understand is that if you're a capped out team with LTIR, you typically don't have room for bonus overages. For instance, the Oilers overages for next year are $896 k, which means that your actual salary cap isn't $82.5, it's actually $81.6.

There's something like 14 teams this year that are going to have issues with it, most notably the Canucks who are at $1.25 mil (I think the Halak bonus was the issue?)

So wouldn't it make more sense then to keep Klefboom and put him on LTIR that way they would get more money back?

Kahkonen would have to come out first, I think he’s their starter next year. If Kane wins I could see San Jose retaining half his salary for picks, not sure they retain and take on Kassian because they don’t really have the cap space for it. I know he has issues but I would think a later 1st for Kane would be a good start when someone is getting him at $3.5 mil when he scored 32 goals in less than 60 games in total this year

Kick those tires all you want that San Jose deal ain't happening.
especially if we ad Kane back 2 mil retained lol.

I would do your first and Kassian for future considerations

If the Sens have a high level of faith in Puljujärvi, they do it

They will likely extend Brown so they need to have that faith for them to do that
