He’s a useful player that I wouldn’t allocate $5m for if I had a choice, so I value him as salary filler. Same with Arvidssen. Doesn’t make either player useless. Just a player whose marginal value for their salary is questionable in a trade. We have several players on the Bruins that I love to have on my team, but I would pay their salary in free agency only if other options said no

The inclusion of these players are why deals don’t happen. It makes valuations harder. Most trades on Cap Friendly try to aggregate these players for one good player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>It’s more than what Hasek got when he got dealt (with 1-year in deal) after winning 6-of-8 last Vezina trophies.

Goalies don’t return much in trade value.</div></div>

Most great, established goalies are locked into long term contracts and haven’t been traded. This narrative of value is based on fews data points (the primary one was driven by the cap) and perpetuated by fans of teams with below average to bad goaltending.

It’s OK to suggest that you can get slightly below average production for a better dollar figure at goalie vs other positions. It’s a strategy. I’d rather have the stable goaltending, but I can understand the position.

It’s why I discount any trade with the Kings. Their leadership will go with cheap goaltending until they are no longer their leadership or lose enough to change their mind. I don’t see either happening with the way the Kings are structured right now. They are good enough to try the strategy.
