That doesn’t even get you Tk, barely gets you Laughton. Flyers easily decline

Way to much for Mitch Marner who is not guaranteed to resign either

Why are the Sabres giving you a second to take a cap dump?

I'm not a fan of the Leafs, but Brodie is definitely not a cap dump. He's a pretty solid 2nd pairing Dman who can play both sides. His contract status might turn Buffalo off given he's going to be a UFA in a year, but teams will value him.

This Blues trade might be the worst I’ve ever seen.

Avs accept

Two things with the Pit trade
1.) Why retain 1.5MM on both sides if both players are also staying with the traded to team?
2.) I like Jarnkrok but he is not really good at anything. He is bad at faceoffs, doesn’t really score or prevent goals, doesn’t drive possession.

I'm gonna say the Pens pass. They're taking on cap and downgrading in net.

Ok, so if he is such a great defender and is not over paid why does every leafs ACGM try to dump him? Particularly when D is a weak point for the leafs?

Oh look, it's the Avs fan trolling idiotic Blues giveaways again. How lovely.

Flyers declined

It comes down to affordability, and cap flexibility. Most of the ones putting him in ACGM's see him as providing more bang for the buck in cap flexibility than other cost controlled assets. McCabe at 2 million, Liljigren at 1.4, or Gio at 800k might not be as good as Brodie is for them most nights. They however provide less cap relief in a trade, and that means less flexibility in upgrading that group.

That is the very definition of a cap dump...

Avs accept, no takesie backsies!

Cap dump would imply negative or no value. Teams have to trade players for cap reasons all the time and while they may not get high returns still get something back. Bjorkstrand for example.
