Sujet: TRADE FOR TERM OPTION 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Personally I can see an argument for both ways on the Zucker and Fiala swap. Fiala is younger and is due for a contract (which could be better or worse than Zuckers, but I'd lean towards better) but Zucker has the better track record with a 33 goal season under his belt. I think it's pretty close but the Wild might be getting the slightly better deal. Maybe a swap for picks (like the Wild's 3rd for Nashville's 4th or something) would balance it a little.

I think a Granlund for Tolvanen + trade makes a lot of sense for both clubs.</div></div>

Priority with any deal is that they can get Josi an extension July 1st. If they could do that with Granlund, I am fine with that. The Zucker vs Fiala debate, I don't think Fiala will be able to demand over 3 years or more than Craig Smith's 4.25m. that said, I could see a 1-2 year 3m deal to prove his term and/or financial worth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>This is definitely a move Chiarelli would make. Trade more talented players for bigger old guys that did stuff when Chiarelli was good at his job.</div></div>

I did not do a good job providing my reasoning. So yes, your point is one reason I made this. Here are my main thoughts:
<strong>Seabrook</strong> | CHI has struggled to move him out with his NMC, but EDM is closer to home for him and are on the rise. EDM could see him as the guy that can support Klefbom like he supported Keith.

<strong>Sadd &amp; Lucic</strong> | Current situation not really working out, similar contracts. EDM wants more speed, CHI wants a brand name player in return for Sadd to avoid admiting their mistake on their previous Sadd trade.

<strong>Todd McLellan</strong> | Let's not fool ourselves, he is not a bad coach but being the market he will not last without success because he lacks the legacy. Q can.

<strong>Puljujärvi &amp; Nugent-Hopkins</strong> | RNH is part salary compensation for Seabrook and Puljujärvi is getting away from coach Q who won't be able to develop him.

Overall CHI may win this one so maybe EDM doesn't send a 3rd to them or maybe CHI takes on more of Q's contract since they are also paying him if that is a possibility since that would count against the cap. Or perhaps there are conditional picks sent to CHI based around Q's success.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangerfan01</b></div><div>I'm a Rangers fan and while Nash is a good fit, you have an excellent point. Neither Rangers nor preds have to even bother. Someone else will be a sucker and give up plenty for him. Nashville keeps window open. But remember cap is increasing and Rinne comes off the books same year as Ellis. So they might actually be able to keep him.

Fair warning though: Elliotte Friedman did say today Preds are all in on Nash. So while your point is excellent and I fully agree with it, it unfortunately may not happen.</div></div>

Excellent point with Rinne's contract expiring with Ellis's. Rinne will have to take a pay cut based on age and he's loyal like Lundqvist... Good ole Scandinavians. Time will tell his production between now and then that will also determine price but I can't see him over 5 mil and 3 years.

As far as considering the cap escalator I feel like it's smarter to utilize that as future wiggle room then to rely on using it prior to the space being there but that's more my own philosophy.

Either way I hope Hitchcock puts pressure on Nill to out bid Nashville. After all Dallas is a one line team for their production and could use offense depth. I also feel like they are thin on D too but there is only so much you can do and Hitch's system may be able to get by without all star depth on the back end.

Elliot is due to be wrong for once...
