Sujet: if what puckempire said was correct
these deals are weird

-toronto gets Mayfield & Clutterbuck(with retention) to give us a 1st (probably in the 25-30 range) & Nick Ritchie's contract? Ritchie basically replaces Cal on the 4th line for a little bit less AAV but an extra year of term. I'd rather just hold on to Clutter at that point, let him walk, and sign a guy in the $1-1.5M range to play RW4 next year

-the Edmonton deal is probably fair value but if Mike Smith is planning on playing out his contract, I think edmonton has a three-headed goalie next year. if they want to give us Smith and his extra year instead of Koskinen, I could live with it - have Smith back up Ilya next year and then go away. I'd think that there might be tweaks to the picks/retention if you do that but the framework would stay the same.

-Chara/Greene/Parise deals are all fine, the exact picks back aren't important, i expect them all to be in the 4-6 range

-the Stecher deal is real confusing cuz that seems like a contender's move - trading a mid-grade prospect and a 5th for a UFA defenseman? I know you're replacing Mayfield with him, but I think you can either just bring Grant Hutton up to do that, or you can use a lot of the cap space you've freed up to absorb a contract from a team up against the cap. just a quick look at the contending teams show Tampa has Jan Rutta($1.3M), Calgary has Erik Gudbranson($1.9M), and Washington has Justin Schultz($4M) as pending UFA RD with cap hits that can be moved out if they're doing another deal.

-Bailey to Winnipeg wouldn't work without retention, or the Jets shedding cap somewhere else. I also think that the organization has some sentimentality towards him and wants him to get his 1,000th game in an Islanders uniform, which looks like it'll happen early next season (barring injury). Not saying I agree with them, but I can see them holding onto him through that at least.
