But it doesn't make sense for those teams to acquire Scuderi. Why would they want him? Arizona and Carolina have budgets below the cap ceiling. They're not paying $3.6m for a guy that can't play. There are plenty of those for cheaper.

Mr. D D: I agree with you completely. My first comment was sarcastic, aimed at Armchair GMs would wish their problems away. Almost every team has some contract problem with some players. Scuds at $ 3.4 million a year for two years isn't super bad. Imagine the Leafs dilemma with Phanuef, $ 7 million a year for 6 more years.

And Scuderi isn't going to waive his NTC to go to some basement dwelling team anyways. Most likely scenario is he's a Penguin this season; even if it's as a healthy scratch. Unlikely they assign him to the AHL even though it'd clear almost $1m in cap space. Even less likely, he is traded (Buffalo is most probabe candidate IMO).</i></div></div>

Patrick Kane has a house nearby but he prefers to play in Chicago.

Sujet: Malkin for Webber?

Weber has already started his decline. And his contact runs for a long time.</i></div></div>

Mr Russian: Malkin is a top three center on the Penguins not in the NHL. Crosby, Malkin Datsyk, Tavaros,Getzalk,Kopitar,Toews,Backstrom,Giroux,Johnson,Johanson,Pavelski,Stamkos. Hard to put Malkin top eight now. Admitting Toews may be overpaid, but isn't Malkin at 9.5m a year? Malkin has the forth lowest plus minus of the top 20 scoring centers. Lowest face off winning % of the top 20 scoring centres. He is a good player and a very good power play specialist. Talk about Weber's decline. Trying to keep Malkin on the ice for a full season has been a challenge recently.

Sujet: Callahan Is Not An All-Star
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>robnas94</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>awomansview1</b></div><div><i>Callahan is not an all star....you're right. Still a good player, sometimes very good. When a GM trades for a player, he feels obliged to resign the player, almost at any price, to justify the original trade. My opinion Stamkos can be signed for much less. Who has the cap space to sign him, especially a contending team?</i></div></div> I think Stamkos is definitely going to go for the Toews/Kane contract, as will Tavares the following summer... it set the market value for a franchise player of their caliber, and I'm doubtful he takes a hometown discount.

On the Callahan front, I'm a Rangers fan... trust me when I tell you he is not all he is cracked up to be haha. He was snake-bitten for most of the playoffs this year (granted he had an injury) and he did not perform like a nearly $6 million player in the regular season. 54 points simply not good enough, and his grinding/shot-blocking style of play will have his knees shot and him slower than everyone else in less than 2 years. The fact that the team he captained didn't even sign him speaks volumes. It was Girardi or Callahan, and Sather and co. knew their captain wasn't worth the money, term or most importantly he risk. I think he will be left unprotected in the expansion draft.</i></div></div>

Rob. Not denying he will ASK has for Toews money. (Kane may be making thirty five cents a day). But there will be very few teams that will have cap money to spend for Stamkos. And the few that actually have the cap room may not want to offer him his top dollar. Will Stamkos go to a team that is absolutely crappy if he offered 20% more? Don't know. Let's imagine that Arizona or Carolina offers him 10.5m, does TBay offer more than let's say 8.5m, (their max offer) so they can sign their RFAs? We'll never know. Personally I think he stays in TB for 8m a year.

Sujet: REALISTIC 16-17 WITH TRADES
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drew7719</b></div><div><i>The Brown trade to Boston wasnt necessarily saying thats where he should absolutely go..kind of just a toss up on the team. Makes sense why they would want a player like Brown though when they lost Lucic. Brown can definitely still compete and make an impact in games. Plus, after the 15-16 season Boston will have close to $23 mil WITHOUT taking into consideration the raise in the cap. They would be able to afford Brown.</i></div></div>
Sorry Drew...a declining Brown, 11 goals last year, on the wrong side of 30 years, is not an impact player. Yes the Bruins will have 23m plus to sign next year, but they have to sign 11 players to reach a 23 man roster. We will have to wait and see,but if the Leafs can't move Phanuef/Lupul, the Hawks can't move Bickell, the Pens can't Scuderi and maybe Kunitz, think how impossible it will be to move Brown. Just not happening.
