Backlund isn't a cap dump?

Backlund is worth at least a second, I don’t think flames will pay you to offload him

Liljegren as a piece in a Murray dump with only a 4th coming back is genuinely one of the most absurd things I have ever seen on this site

I don't think a single one of these trades would go through

Myers trade def would

Yeah, Leafs decline

Since when is Backlund a cap dump. Murray can be dumped easily as a buyout, certainly not for Liljgren.

Backlund has positive value. Nice try

Rumor is the team wants him to be captain. They aren't trading that leadership

He may not be a cap dump but to get to a 23 man roster the Flames have to add 5 players and have $1,250,000 to do it with. They have to shave some salary someplace.

What a deal for Detroit! Knights not so much.

It doesn't cost Liljegren to move Murray for 1 year.

What on earth is that VGK trade…

Vancouver says Yes.

The rest say No.

Easy. Trade Vladar

That gets you to $3,450,000. League minimum salary x 5 players is $3,875,000, then you just lost a goalie so that creates another hole to fill. It doesn't have to be Backlund and especially if they are talking about making him captain. But the Flames are right up to the cap. If they trade Vladar then they are going to still need to trade somebody else.

Wolf is more than ready for NHL time

I don't disagree, but he is making just over $800k, so you are saving $1,400,000 which still puts you over a million bucks over the cap to get to 23.

Tanev will likely be dealt seeing as Kylington will likely be coming back next season.

You simply move vladar for a third, trade hanifin for a first and a prospect call up wolf, Phillips, Pelletier duehr and coronato, resign stetcher for cheap

He is still amazing defenceman and teams would be fighting between each other to get him
