Why to sharks take a cap dump and pay you a late pick for it??? Obviously sharks pass without something in return for taking a cap dump.

Value wise, is it close? Yes. Do either of the teams do it? No. (Re: caps trade)

That is horrendous for Ottawa.

Kings have no use for a veteran expensive center whose contract expires when he's 37, especially at the expense of 21-year-old LW Quinton Byfield and a first-round draft pick.

Is Jeff Carter currently a good hockey player? No. So acquiring him helps with the Tank. And it helps you hit the cap floor as well.

He's not expensive at 4.25 that's the whole point

Not interested in that at all for Ottawa. Rather have Pinto than Kaako, and I don't think the team is gonna pack in the season by trading one of their best players for futures.

Pinto for Kakko just doesn't work for the Sens. I'd be interested in seeing the Sens try Kakko if they don't bring Vladdy back, but Pinto right now has the higher floor and seems a lot more likely to reach his ceiling than Kakko

Twenty-five million dollars for 6 seasons, two of which are post-35, of a guy who'll play behind Pierre-Luc DuBois and Phillip Danault is VERY expensive without even factoring in Anze Kopitar's farewell tour.

You can make an argument for signing him as a free agent to that contract, but not if it costs Quinton Byfield, never mind the first.

We don’t need to hit the cap floor in season and why are we paying for bad players when teams out there will pay us to take on cap dumps! Easy pass and dumb reasoning here bud.

Take out the 1st round pick for Zib and still no.

Pit would accept, Carter would decline

Pens trade is null and void. There's not enough cap space to even consider this.

Cap space is king and wasting it on Carter without a sweetener makes no sense

Still worth giving up the future and present for a large contract. Byfield will probably be better and the Kings keep their first.
