Sujet: Nashville Predators signed Roman Josi (8 Years / $9,059,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Josi is well worth the money but you cannot give 8 years at a high cap hit to past their prime players. This along with some of the sharks contracts have buyout written all over it sometime after 2024.</div></div>

You're assuming the 9m will be a <strong>high cap hit</strong> 5-6 years from now. Top end players are already commanding 10-12m. In 5 years it might not be unreasonable to see 16-18m contracts being penned. in such a market, a 9m player, (albeit, past their prime) who can still produce effectively, will still look like a solid deal. And considering Josi has been an elite D for years, he will likely continue to be elite for years to come

TL;DR: This is a good deal for now, and a decent deal for the far future. Thumbs up for NSH

Sujet: 1 year turnaround
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Almost none of those deals makes sense

Detroit laughs in your face. Why is a team that hasn't made the playoffs in years trading a pair of good young players and 2 firsts for a 30 year old? It just doesn't make sense

Arizona says no. How much better is Kopitar than an 8 or so year younger Schmaltz signed for half the cap? I assure you the difference is less than Dvorak, let alone Dvorak and a 1st and a 3rd

So New Jersey has one of the best American goalies from 5 years ago who sucks now and their solution is to pay a first and a good young c to get another one? I believe quick had the worst save percentage for a starter league wide last year. You're likely to being paying someone to get rid of him

Carter is past his prime and breaking down. You'll have to pay someone to take his contract.

Brown is overpaid and well past his prime. You'll have to pay someone to take his contract.

Kovi is not going to get you someone as good as Bjorkstrand. If you retain half of kovi's contract maybe he does.</div></div>

Agree with all. The only trade here that goes through is Iafallo to ANA. But why trade him? He seems like part of the solution, not the problem
