Sujet: Has Fitzy opened up a Can of Worms on Sign-and-Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I've thought about the sign, retain and trade before. Made one with Evander Kane to the Oilers last year. I think max term would likely be 2 years as teams can change priorities pretty quickly. Would be great for a player that wants to sign with a team that is right against the cap but doesn't want to take a big discount. An example could be say Dubois wanted to go to Minnesota but they have very minimal cap space this year but next year they have multiple contracts coming off the books. They could make a deal where Winnipeg signs him for a 1 year 7M contract and then trades him to Minnesota at 3.5M for what would be a normal package plus a bit more for the retention. Since Dubois would be on an expiring contract he should be eligible for an extension immediately and they could then sign him for 8 x 8M afterwards or so. They would have the benefit of multiple contracts coming off the books plus cap expecting to go up. Also they get him signed for 9 years, if that's what the team wants and I'm sure the player would take 9 years over 7 or 8.

Also I've been thinking about making a team with this exact trade scenario lol</div></div>

A little different in that he is an RFA. It would be a little like if he signs QO, then retaining a portion before trading him (the “Qualify-Retain-and-Trade”).

Sujet: Can I get one roster that is ok lol
So Alex Nylander's Qualifying Offer is $787,500 and after his breakthrough year with 1 goal and 1 assist you're going to offer him $2.5 million?

Ryan Graves hasn't turned 28 yet, is an excellent defender and his current salary is $4 million. I'd be shocked he wasn't offered $5 million for 5 seasons. I'd offer him that as the Los Angeles GM, especially if the Kings couldn't re-sign Vladi Gavrikov for an acceptable figure.

The value on Bryan Rust is fine but Anaheim isn't the team that will be investing 5 seasons in someone who's over 30. Similarly, Arizona isn't a team that would be paying a future second -- even though they have four of them -- for two seasons of Mikael Granlund.

I'm with <a href="/users/Lancebmx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Lancebmx</a> in thinking that the Dallas and Montreal trades are realistic and possible. And he's right again (in my opinion) that Minnesota would hang onto Ryan Hartman for the three reasons he gives.

Sujet: If Coronato signs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Maybe Ruzicka and Coleman swap then

So basically what you have but swap Toffoli and Coronato</div></div>
Problem with swapping Coleman &amp; Ruzicka is Kadri's a very difficult Centre to play with, he's a lone wolf who goes everywhere and it constantly going off-side or putting others off-side. Wingers have a very difficult time knowing where he's going to go and where he wants them to be or where they should go. Kadri also has a bad tendency to just throw the puck back that sometimes gets missed by the defender when everyone is deep in the zone, creating odd-man rushes and/or breakaways. He's a Defensive Liability at Centre AFAIC, hence why I want him moved to the RW to be more of a Matthew Tkachuk style player = Physical, Gritty, Drawing Penalties, Passing &amp; Shooting from the Side/Corner and Going to the Net &amp; Dirty Areas to Retrieve Pucks, Clean Up Rebounds or Deflect/Tip Shots on Net

If played at Centre, I think Kadri needs players like Coleman as his Wingers, because he's fast to react, goes to the net, retrieves pucks and is defensively smart and strong enough to recognise &amp; help cover the problems Kadri creates

Dube is another Winger who has had success with Kadri, but he's not as Experienced or Good at Sheltering a line Defensively as Backlund, Coleman or Old Man Trevor Lewis. Pelletier isn't experienced enough and Ruzicka isn't Strong or Defensive enough. I don't mind the idea of trying Coronato with Kadri, because he's supposed to be a Physical Stud and with his Right Shot, he &amp; Kadri could split time taking Faceoffs and/or at C/RW

The best I've seen Kadri at C is with Mangiapane-Kadri-Coleman, so I wonder if Dube-Kadri-Coleman or Coleman-Kadri-Dube would work okay too, otherwise like I said above, move Kadri to RW and problem solved: Coleman - Dube/Coronato - Kadri

AND if you have Backlund or Lindholm Centre Kadri, you could probably have any of Huberdeau, Mangiapane, Toffoli, Dube, Coleman, Ruzicka, Pelletier or Ritchie at LW, because Backs &amp; Lindy are simply Amazing Defensive Centres

The only real and best way I see Ruzicka playing moving forward would be if he's playing on Lindholm or Backlunds Wing OR he plays Centre and is sheltered by 2 Veteran Wingers, like Dube, Coleman or Lewis, in which he coould play 3C OR if just one of those Veterans + either Pelletier, Duehr, Coronato or Ritchie being the other Winger, he could be the 4th "Energy" Line Centre, but he's more of a Top-9 Offensive Player than a Checking Line Player. I also only see Ruzicka playing in the Top-9 again if we move Coleman and/or Dube down to the 4th line to give that line more Speed, Skill &amp; Balance with a player like Coronato, Duehr or Ritchie
