Yeah can’t see that getting Gibby

A dump a guy who can’t really skate and a 2nd certainly doesn’t hit that ‘high price’ Verbeek has stated

The Gibson trade seems like one that will happen in the fall once they start setting the rosters .... or even once the season starts and a team like Detorit , Edmonton or Buffalo get off to a bad start

Right now teams don't need Goaltending or the ones who did made the moves already .... but I think that will change in the fall .... if Skinner ( for example ) goes like 4 - 10 and the oilers fallout the the race early again they might pay what the ducks are asking for

Honestly, I’m fine with that. I don’t really want him. But I know Yzerman is sniffing around on him, so I tossed it in.

Baby 😢

Going to the 2nd burner account because I touched a nerve. 😂😂😂😂😂

Not sure how many more times it needs to be explained that NYR isn't retaining on Trouba AND taking Holl.

You've effectively traded $8M Trouba for $5.9M Holl. That's terrible.

I’m going to tell the principal on you - someone’s picking on me 😢

That can be true, but as a straight cap dump, Trouba has no value even at 5.5. Can sign a better option in free agency for the same AAV. If Holl isn’t included, NY should be sending picks the other way.

Picks, yeah.

Holl, no. They're moving Trouba to clear cap. Not to pay Holl a whole $2M less.

Fair. Value works out similarly. If NYR want to buy out Holl, or use the pick to flip him to a 3rd party, great. Otherwise, I wouldn’t interested in Trouba unless it’s providing an equivalent asset to move Holl in a 2nd transaction. Much rather use the 5.5 in free agency on a better player without having to give anything up.

Basically breaks down to Roy for 5.80x5 with Holl bought out for 2.3 in cap savings with no draft picks lost. NYR need to beat that scenario. In order to do so, it would require Trouba at 5.5 with the added asset to move Holl in a separate transaction to gain an addition 1.1 in cap space and a cleaner break from Holl’s contract.
