Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Unfortunately, stl cannot trade away it’s top ice time rhd, trade away no top 6 skaters, and receive only nylander (no rhd) back. It makes no sense. Nhl trade rumors was good when they didn’t make up stuff. If you’re going to make stuff up then:

1. The salary cap exists
2. Depth charts exist

If nylander to stl happens before the season starts, because the cap is so tight for both parties as well as both rosters being set, it’s roughly player in, player out, position in, position out, dollar in, dollar out. It is extremely hard to find convoluted multiplayer trades that bounce around both teams depth charts at this stage of the season with the cap climate. In the rare case some convoluted trade occurred, you would see teams trading from abundance. In this case, rhd is the opposite of abundance for stl.

Below is an example of what would work. And I am not 100% sure even this works with the cap for the immediate season. Both teams are beyond where they’d usually sit relative to the cap - they’re closer than they want to be due to pandemic, and both teams would likely celebrate any cap relief that came through a trade.

Perhaps there is some mega deal that involves Parayko. Who knows right? We’ll see. But if that happens at this moment in time each player going out has to more or less have an equivalent player coming back and the total dollars have to basically be equal.
