Sujet: Lafreniere 3 Little retires
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarkWinnipeg</b></div><div>The expansion draft also figured into my trade, we would protect

Laine
Wheeler
Scheiffelle
Connor
Roslovic
Harkins
Copp

only have to expose Appleton among our forwards as Hayton and Lafreniere are both exempt. Also have cap space for days next off seasons, if Laine, Pionk, Copp and Poolman possibly cost around 20-21 million. Have 14 million in cap space with a roster of 17, Vaisailin replaces Perrault, Gustaffson replaces Lowry unless we re up him. Even with resigning Lowry would have 8-9 million with a 20 man roster, should be able to cherry pick one or two really good players before the expansion draft if we we're so inclined.</div></div>

That is smart thinking. Props for this proposal it's one that is very hard to poke any holes in. From both sides it's makes a lot of sense. For Arizona, shed some dead weight and get a guy who will make a difference right now at the cost of a guy who will be really good in the not too distant future. Winnipeg could get their perfect 2C and can afford the dead cap. Well done.

Sujet: If The Blues resign Pietrangelo and Dunn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarkWinnipeg</b></div><div>which 29 teams are those? He only has two years left on his contract, if it was one and you could do a sign and trade I could see it.
The Leafs have 4.5 million in cap space with a roster of 17 they'll be interested but need to send salary back
The Yotes have 6.8 million in cap space with a roster to 17 so same thing need to get rid of salary themselves or send it back and they need scoring more then defense
Dallas can make it work but would only want Parayko
The Nucks have 18 million in cap space with a roster of 15 but if they resign Markstrom, Tefolli and Stretcher they'll be right up against the cap
The Flyers have a 12 million and a roster of 15 so they could probably fit it with a minor move but they have Niskanen, Sanheim and Phillip Myers on the right side. There looking to move a defenseman
The Hawks have 6.5 million in cap space with a roster of 22 but no Goaltenders next season
The Caps have just over 10m with a roster of 16 so providing they don't re up Holtby, Braun or Gudas they could squeez him in
The Knights are at 8m with a roster of 16 with schmidt and martinez on their right side they'd need to move salary out
Florida has the space if they don't re up their RFA's but won't take Allen in the deal and have Ekblad and Stralmon on the right side
Edmonton 10m with a roster of 16 but have Ethan Bear, and Athanasiou as rfas and would like to keep Tyler Ennis
The Sharks have Karlsson and Burns on their right side
The Bruins would be interested in just Parayko forgot they cleared out Backes they have 18m with a roster of 18 if they resign krug could still make it work
The Pens have 13m with a roster of 16 with both goaltenders and 6 rfas salary would need to go out
The Sabres have the cap space but have Ristolainin, Montour, Miller and Jokiharju on their right side
The Canes have 8m and a roster of 15 salary would have to move out and they have Hamilton and Pesce on their right side
The Flames could make it work
Tampa has it's own cap knightmares
The preds have 9m with a roster of 17 some salary would need to be moved out
The ducks have 6m with a roster of 16 and are in a rebuild
The wild could make it work but have Dumba and Spurgeon on the right side
The Islanders will all ready have to move out some salary to get Pulock and Barzel fit in
The Jets can easily absorb both Parayko and Allen and use them both
The Rangers will be tight against the cap and have Trouba, Deangelo and Fox on the right side
The Habs have the space but have Weber and Petry on the right side
The Blue Jackets all ready have to move out salary just to get their rfa's signed
The Avs could make it work but have Makar and Johnson on the right side with Makar and Landeskog needing new contracts after next year that 2nd year for Parayko could become problomatic
La is in a rebuild
Ottawa is in a rebuild
Devils could use him but need a left shot more and could use Allen for a season as well

So it's really down to Wpg and Jersey who could use both. Dallas, Nashville and The flames could Use parayko and for the other eight that could make it work it would be a luxury.

In no way am I saying my offer is a fair trade for Parayko, but if Pietrangelo go's down to the negotiating window as high profile UFA's do these days for leverage and they have to shell out 9m to keep him They'll be over the cap by 7 million with Dunn still to sign. I canny Gm could offer sheet Dunn at that point and the blues won't be able to match without being over the 10% over the cap allowed in the off season, even if the offer sheat is only for 2 million which would bring back a 3rd round pick or if they really wanted could offer more on a five year term and it's a 2nd going to the blues. When a teams in that situation Gm's don't bail them out just to be nice.</div></div>

You're acting like these teams would only make one trade though. For example, just because the Knights have Martinez and Schmidt on the right doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested in Parayko and they could find another way to clear cap space.

You're also acting like the Blues HAVE to trade Parayko for nothing if we want Pietrangelo. He's one of the most valuable members of this team. He's pretty far down on the list of people we would explore trading even if it's a position of depth.

Also, GMs bail good teams with cap problems out all the time. PK Subban, Erik Gudbranson, David Backes are all awful but were all moved in just the last year with pretty much their full cap hit. And to the "this team is cap strapped and therefore in no position to bargain" point- Tampa was up against it last year and traded JT Miller which everyone knew they had to do, and they still got a first for him.

Even if Dunn got an offer sheet, he still has to sign it. It was all but confirmed that Marner got a few offer sheets and didn't sign. I'm not convinced that we haven't had a bunch of offer sheets over the last ten years and the players have just been like "nah" because they're all hockey players and they don't want to have the spotlight on them.

You just proposed a sweetheart deal for your team and rightfully got roasted for it, it's fine. You don't need to keep digging yourself in further over it.
