Why on earth is Carolina doing that?

A team that is bleeding money profusely, Isn't taking on dumps. And Carolina doesn't have cap issues. So i can't figure out the Kotkaniemi trade.

Someone has been reading Montreal and littlejerryseinfield’s blog because no actual outlet has kotkaniemi as a cap dump

It all depends. I don't think everyone on here realizes that there are more than one kind of dump. AZ will 100% take on a guy like Voracek knowing that insurance is paying his full contract. TMyers will have his $5M signing bonus paid in september and then AZ would only pay hi $1M for his services. Maybe VAN also send Pearson? I believe his contract is insured, but I've ready somewhere that Poolman's isn't. AZ will take those guys, but Murray is owed ~$6M. AZ isn't doing that. Mantha is owed ~$6.5M...they're not doing that either.

In what world is Kotkaniemi a cap dump?

Forget Carolina's cap situation, Kotkaniemi is well worth that contract

You could have totally called this ACGM "All Your Dump Are Belong To Us."

Missed opportunity.

The Capitals are not going to pay the 40th Overall Pick (+) to get rid of Mantha. That’s just a stupid fantasy.

Canucks accept. Vancouver gets cap space, Arizona gets a 4th plus a guy that can help them reach the cap floor without spending actual money, seems good for both sides. Arizona can probably also retain 50% and ship Myers out for another pick at the TDL.

Leafs i think would accept

This world.

lol no he isn't

Let's be real with KK lol

Over 0.5 PPG as a 22 year old and isn't even making 5 mil. Maybe it agent poorly, but in the current day it's not even remotely close to a dump.

KK lol Just give us Keller and Crouse.

Stop it, get some help. 40 point center that is a defensive MONSTER isn't worth 4.82? Stop. You're lying to yourself

Arizona isn't doing that deal as is they aren't paying Myers signing bonus

Funny how a guy with a GAA of 3.43 is considered good because his team is bad…but one with a GAA of 3 is considered bad because his team is good.

He is ****ty defensively and 40 points for a 4mil bust is 100% a cap dump

Kotkaniemi played at a 6 million level this year. Your really wrong here.
