Jets accept

Turcotte does not need a change of scenery

Chevy definitely should not consider helping Philadelphia out and moving that 2nd to take on a bad contract on a player that is overpaid even with the retention.

The idea for moving out Schmidt would be to free up cap space. Not take back long term dead cap.

Risto @ 3AAV is better value than any RHD that is going to be available on the UFA market this offseason and Winnipeg frees up 3 million in cap space here.

Feel like a broken record saying this, but this isn't "helping Philadelphia" or really a cap dump in any way, The reason Philly does this is because Sanheim/Drysdale are basically locks for the top-2 RHD spots, and they're in a position where it makes more sense to add a draft pick than to have Ristolainen as a luxury piece

4 points in 20 games as a D+5 player who is going to be waiver eligible on a team trying to win the Stanley Cup next year. Like I said in the trade description: I added the 2nd to show that I like the player, but if we're being honest here there's no way that if LA gets a decent offer for him that they won't move him considering that if they can't guarantee that he'll make the main roster and be good enough to play all 82 that they'll probably lose him for nothing next season

As an example: his situation seems eerily similar to what happened to Zadina last year

Everyone knows what Ristolainen is at this point and he isn't better than many players. A cheaper player with comparable skill and with less term and cap hit could easily be found as a UFA.

3 mil is far too much for a low end 5/6D.

Kaliyev needs a change of scenery is what you’re looking for.

Give Turcotte a break he’s dealt with serious concussions over the years. It’s not all about points on the ice. He does the little things right and still very young
