Sujet: 1M Cap Incr amp Realistic PLD Trade
-Winnipeg isn't taking back $9M in bottom-6/bottom-pair players. Kidney/1st/2nd starts it but they're going to want more if they're taking big cap hits back; otherwise they can just focus on extending PLD or potentially trading him as a rental next deadline. For every person saying that Montreal doesn't need to pay up when he might come there in UFA next summer, they're not wrong; but it doesn't mean that Winnipeg wouldn't find interest from a dozen other teams if they made PLD available, even as a one year rental.

-Wideman's got an extra year at $762K. Just bury him in Laval if you don't have a spot for him here, Arizona isn't in a spot to be giving up any sort of pick for a veteran.

-Just because Bergevin overpaid acquiring Dvorak doesn't mean another team is going to do the same. He's shown no growth throughout his career - he's basically going to be a 35-40 point player with okay defensive metrics best suited to be a 3C/PKer. Minnesota, in a cap crunch, isn't going to spend a 1st rounder to pay a third liner $4.45M.

-Buffalo trading Erik Portillo at the deadline should tell you everything you need to know Devon Levi's availability. They're not going to trade a goalie with his upside for a winger and a 4th round pick - they already have a nice stable of U23 wingers led by JJ Peterka & John Quinn, so Mesar doesn't really fill a need for them in the first place; plus, do you think they would want to trade a potential franchise goalie within their own division for this? Would the Habs trade Lane Hutson to the Bruins for Brett Harrison and a 4th rounder?

-It'd make more sense to ask for minimal retention on one of these deals instead of swapping 7ths with Arizona to eat the $250K bury penalty for Panik. He's playing out his contract in Europe, so there's just zero value in here for Arizona.

-Not sure if Chicago does this. If they move Blackwell, they can probably get a better offer than Ross & a 4th. Hell, basically any prospect you can name & a 4th beat this. Even Joey Anderson & a 4th would beat this.

-Bjork is kinda bad but if you like him, sure, this isn't an awful price and I'm sure Buffalo will be happy to move him. But (and no offense to Sabres fans meant) you have to wonder why you're giving up anything for a guy that has found difficulty finding ice time that last year+ on some middling Sabres teams.

-Will defer to the CBJ fan up thread - but if I'm the Jackets, I think a guy being friends with my star acquisition is going to be more important (especially during a rough season) than a 3rd rounder.

-I mean, sure if Toronto's giving him away I'd take Kerfoot and find a spot for him. Never can have too much depth.
