Don’t think Ottawa could do the trade. Joseph and Laughton have essentially the same cap hit, so we’d still have to unload a player to fit under the cap with a 20 man roster. Maybe with some retention it could work

Man that’s a bad deal for Philly on that Ottawa trade

Value is generous on the Habs trade, but the Habs are trying to create space for their prospects to play. Habs decline.

I don't believe that LA trade would happen and especially not at that price. Hart is tainted, and may not even be available to be traded.

Value isnt generous. Foegele is a borderline negative value asset at his cap hit. Its the same issue as joseph

We don't really know if he's tainted. Pure speculation until announcement.

Maybe I didn't word it correctly, just with everything being said I'm calling the entire 2018 jr team tainted. Minus the few players that have been confirmed not there.

So you say Foegele us a cap dump, but you still get positive assets for him. Weird

EDM abruptly ends the call with an eye roll and a sigh.

30 point forward for a 5th round pick. I'll take that.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

even tho sanheim is from manitoba, Jets don’t need another LHD, and frost is a little underwhelming as a 2C although he could improve. the value isn’t quite there for this to work

Lol not a chance

And least take off the second going back

These seem solid to me

Any deal with Pinto and a 1st better be bringing back an elite player. Don’t be this ridiculous lmao

I mean.... youre moving down a round for a proven leader. You signing Pinto? As of right now, that looks iffy - thus the trade.

I would maybe move the lower 1st for Laughton with retention but no way is Pinto being involved in a trade for Laughton. Pinto has top 6 potential

So this trade would be closer to acceptable if it was Ridley Greig instead of Pinto?

Neither is available , I don’t know what fans of other teams are thinking but none of those 2 are available. They’re 2 of their best young players with top 6 potential and are cheap

No in what world is that a fair trade with the amount of comparables there are for the oilers also ceci>>>seeler

Duh. The whole point of the swap was for salary cap space - comes out to roughly 1.7M

So then why are we paying a 2nd also I would recommend looking at the debrincat trade as well as the meier trade

Alright. Maybe straight up and we can ship Ceci to another team. As for Debrincat trade, the appeal to TK is the pending RFA status. Recently read The Athletic article about teams and cap space efficiency per player, TK was valued at 7.1M. Getting him for 4M is a damn good bargain.

He's not considered trash in Edmonton though. He scores at a first line rate at 5v5 without playing with McDavid and is good defensively.

His scoring rates are like 90% of Konecny's at 50% the cap hit, and he brings a lot of physicality that TK doesn't. If they trade Foegele for Konecny they aren't adding their 1RD, two top prospects plus a 1st and 2nd.
