<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Redguard191</b></div><div>Your premise for the Vegas trade is that they need to move cap space in order to solve their team needs. So the solution is to trade a cost controlled player signed for another 5 years or their other cost controlled player in Stephenson.

1. If Stone and Lehner are back next year they have 2.5M in cap space with a 22 man roster, without making a move so not in desperate need of cap space.
2. Talbot isn't worth that cost when Hill is only day to day (currently skating) and Brossoit is a more than capable backup
3. Martinez's contract is up in 1 more year so the more likely target to move
4. They can get a better return for Whitecloud if their intention was to free up space for Korczak or Miromanov</div></div>

They have $2.5M with 18 skaters still need another 4. Martinez is a top defenseman making under $6M and is the best defensive d-man you have. When you're trying to win and shed cap space you're not selling off your top pairing RD, especially when he is a great cap hit. I do agree Whitecloud is on a good cap hit but he's a bottom pairing guy on Vegas and $2.75M is great if he is playing in your top 4 but he isn't. Tip my hat to the Knights they built a helluva defense I'd say the best in the league in my opinion.

Ottawa shed salary because they need to re-sign DeBrincat.... They're not going to sell off Chabot or Zub to get it done. They sold off Zaitsev. Ottawa has had a ton of draft picks pan out so they have a base of prospects to replace guys like Watson (4th line), Brasard (3rd-4th Line), Holden (3rd pairing)... Hard to win making guys like Martinez the casualties. You're not going to move Karlsson, not unless you're throwing multiple 1st rounders and still likely taking on salary to retain.

I mentioned Talbot because apparently Vegas has been kicking tires on him and they did kick tires on him before the season started. You sold of Patches to start the year for nothing and the offense is struggling for it. You trade off Martinez and you're not getting better. Vegas is in win-now. If you can move out a bottom pairing guy, replace with a cheaper just as talented guy in Korczak? It makes sense. Bottom pairing guys generally are making in the $900K - $1.4M. Whitecloud although talented, is an overpayment for the position. He's not that on most teams, but Vegas needs that cap hit to apply up front.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>But it is as farfetched. Whitecloud is on a very team friendly deal. If they want to move cap it’s not he or Stephenson like you are saying, it’s Martinez or Karlsson. Not the dude they just locked up for 6 years under 3 million lol</div></div>

How are you getting rid of those guys? No one would want them... You don't have much in the way of Prospects so that eliminates trading your 1st rounders as those are your future cheap talent to replace these guys with. Karlsson has 5 years left!!! At what $6M a season? If you haven't noticed teams are putting some actual talent on waivers simply to get rid of cap... So if you're going to clear cap space you sure as hell aren't going to get rid of Karlsson unless you're eating about 50% of his cap hit for 5 years... and Martinez is the best defensive d-man you have. Point of trading Whitecloud is because you already have a cheap replacement for him. You're going to need to spend at least what you're paying Martinec to replace him if not more at the rate defenseman are being paid.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Lol vegas isn’t doing that. Whitecloud definitely holds the most value in this as he instantly becomes your 1RD and he’s locked up for 5 years under 3 million.</div></div>

Only because he'd be playing with Chabot... But he'd actually be the 2nd RD because Zub has more value than Whitecloud does. But Vegas will need the cap space, they have very little in the pipeline, Stone seems like his career is close to done with a wonky back, Eichel not playing badly but not even a point per game you'll never move him with that contract... Plus the only other players you're likely to move Stephenson maybe? You need him more than you need Whitecloud. Whitecloud like I said plays bottom pairing minutes and Korczak can likely replace him as he has played fairly well in his 10 games or so. I watch a lot of Vegas games because I work nights. Plus the Knights just added Dysin Mayo who is also a RD. So maybe it doesn't happen but not as far fetched as you're making it seem

Sujet: If Everything worked Out PERFECT for Ottawa
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>technically in a perfect scenario doesn’t ottawa end up with bedard?</div></div>

Yes obviously.... I actually had a scenerio where Ottawa wins and trades Bedard.... NOIT THAT THEY WOULD... But wanted to see what people would think of the value in return. I had the trade;

To ANA;

C. Bedard

To Ott;

J. Drysdale, M. McTavish, 3rd overall (according to tankathon lol), and 2024 1st rounder.

Steep price for ANA but Bedard is a Generational talent. Lets be honest whoever gets Bedard isn't ever going to move him. Part of the reason it would be so high is because you're likely getting a point per game player at ELC salary for 3 full seasons. Ana would still have Zegras, Terry, Comtois, Zellwegar, Gaucher, and Luneau to build around.... Ana is really the only team that could do the trade in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>Rangers do not have anywhere near that kind of cap space next season, it's basic math.</div></div>

I don't agree... The Rangers have $15M for 6-7 spots next season. Chytil, Lafrenierre, Hajek, &amp; Kravtsov are likely going to be bridged and won't hurt them too much. Throw in Othmann will be taking a spot on an ELC. K'Andre Miller will likely be the biggest bump, and if the Rangers get him on a long-term deal in the $8M-9M range it would be tight but they could make it happen.

Throw in the fact that Lafrenierre would likely have to be included in the trade also factors in. So Chytil ($2.5M), Hajek ($1.75 - 2M), Kravtsov ($1 - 1.5M) Othmann ($900K) Debrincat ($8.5M) Halak ($1.5M) would give the Rangers 23 players and be $900K over if the cap stays at only going up $1M. Hey the Rangers throw in Lindgren and the deal works out with cap space to spare. The Rangers then have:

Miller - Fox
Hajek - Trouba
Harpur - Schneider

I'm just saying it's not as inconceivable as you might think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Probably not cuz of cap space and they probably still think Laf has elite potential even if he doesn’t. But to think Debrincat only has the value of a 1st and a prospect not named Othmann is crazy</div></div>

Very few teams have cap space this upcoming offseason. To think Ottawa just landed DeBrincat on a whim like no one else was interested? Ottawa got him for a 10th overall in a very weak draft, a 2nd, and a 3rd. So likely no one else offered that much for him. His value is likely right on where it was if not worse as we had him this year for $6.75M. Whatever team trades for him now? bare minimum $9M and I don't believe most teams believe he is a $9M/yr player. So to land a 1st overall pick, a mid-1st rounder in a substantially deeper draft, and a 2nd or a prospect is likely where his value will be at.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>Pesce will not be the team's cap casualty. I can guarantee that. But to your point, and per the latest, it's looking like Gardiner may not be cleared to play. Some local inside info. Outside of that, I strongly believe it is Bear that gets moved. Neither he nor Coghlan are ready to take Pesce's place on the 2nd pairing with Skjei. If you feel differently, would you be interested in a trade for Bear? If you think Bear could replace Pesce, take Bear instead. I believe he would only cost you a middle pick. That would work out for both teams.</div></div>

Bear for a middle pick works for me... Not sure Dorion bites simply because DJ Smith likes defenseman with size. Ottawa already has Brannstrom at 5'10, not sure if Smith would know what to do with two guys under 6'0 in the lineup lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>The Sabres also need a goalie, so it was filling a need. Zaitsev would be their 4th RD man and 2nd most expensive behind Dahlin</div></div>

In terms of experience Zaitsev would likely be the 2nd RD... Power and Dahlin are both lefties. One could play the opposite side. However Dahlin is already off to a slow start to his career, and you don't start Power off as a rookie on his off-side either. So Zaitsev who could at least fill in on the RD til someone better comes along and like said you get 2 2nd's to put towards a trade to actually improve the team, and like I said with Buffalo's cap space you can fit him in and it's not a $7-8M cap dump like Patches was... It's not a crap trade if all Adams is doing is selling some of his cap space.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>Sabres haven’t taken on any bad contacts that are actually healthy enough to play. They already traded their version off Zastiev last season. It doesn’t make any sense to help out a divisional rival.</div></div>

Anyways I got this from "The Fourth Period" and I quote.... "Sabres GM Kevyn Adams was a guest on The Hot Stove on SiriusXM NHL Network Radio with TFP’s Dennis Bernstein and David Pagnotta on Saturday and admitted he’s informed teams that he will take on a contract if the right offer were made."

So for me just because he hasn't taken on a bad contract for compensation doesn't mean he wouldn't. Plus if you remember? Buffalo was going to take on Matt Murray in a cap dump but Murray squashed it with his NTC.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>I believe the point here is that Pesce is a solid part of the Canes top 4 D core. Trading him for any picks and a prospect who may or may not crack the top 6 in the future does NOT help them NOW. That is legit.</div></div>

So who is headed out the door? Gardiner says he's ready to play so that removes $4M off LTIR and Pacioretty will be ready in January... So doesn't leave much wiggle room? The Patches LTIR saves them for the first couple of months, but he will be back and will not sit on LTIR because he needs a new contract and has to play. So who on Carolina will be shipped out? I agree Pesche is valuable but with Burns, Bear, and Coughlin that RD side would still be strong and it helps the Canes be cap compliant.
