<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Really nice effort, as well as the explanations in the Comments. I agree you should keep all of Toffoli-Tanev-Stecher-Markstrom.

Sutter with 20% retained has some positive value. I've shown that he could go to Nashville or New Jersey, particularly the latter.

Figures for the signings look within reason.

Welcome to CapFriendly, by the way.</div></div>

Yeah this is some well made post right here. I was surprised it was a newcomer.

The Beagle trade is on point. Exactly what Bergy would do, based on the deal for Armia.

As for the Demko/Markstrom problem, I can't believe VAN, with a capspace problem, doesn't keep the cheap rookie that nearly eliminated Vegas by himself.

Markstrom is 30 and have the stats to hit the bank, IMO he will ask for too much for too long with a NTC.

I understand the will to get return on assets but sometimes you just need to keep the best guy for the future and let UFAs walk.

Well put.

By the way, the reason why I was pleased to see the retention of Markstrom in this post is that I'm tired of seeing comments asserting that Vancouver has to give good players away with bad ones in order to get cap compliance. As a mathematical exercise, I welcome this refutation of that nonsense. If I were the Vancouver GM, I would let Markstrom walk, as you would, which also solves their cap discomfort (I wouldn't call it a "problem") immediately.
