Sujet: Car and MTL - Hawks are back
mmmk, let's start with the Murphy deal. I think they don't move him unless they get Faulk. That would clearly be an upgrade. I think they will likely bring in prospects for him instead of picks, but he had a horrid year last year, so I don't know if he has a lot of value right now. Always room to rebound, like the rest of the 'Hawks.

Second, let's look at that Faulk deal. I don't see them talking on Anisimov. They don't need any more 2nd/3rd line centers. They need top line centers. They are also deep on defense, so I'm not sure Forsling makes the most sense. That deal probably starts with a good forward prospect, but they just traded Hinastroza, so I'm not sure it makes sense for them right now. This seems like a struggle because they have an excess of young defensive prospects, but the Hurricanes don't need that. They don't have a lot of forward prospects, which is what Carolina would likely want.

Last, the Pacioretty deal. Here is a deal that makes a ton of sense. The Habs could use any sort of talent. Rutta doesn't make sense, but maybe you add Forsling to this deal instead. A package of Forsling, Iacopelli, a pick (1st or 2nd), and another high-level prospect should make sense.

Sujet: Another Karlsson trade!? Whaaaaaaaaat?
That trade has too many big deals moving back and forth. The Karlsson trade will likely not have that much going on from an NHL player standpoint. Pageau and Anderson will probably not be involved in the deal with Karlsson, so remove Sekera and Lucic. With that being said, the Sens probably don't need RNH, and he has such good chemistry with McDavid I don't think he moves either. So you give up Adam Larsson instead of RNH. That helps because the Sens will need defense. Bouchard is a good add (except that he was just drafted, and they really like the kid).

The trade would probably start with Bouchard (or a similar high-level prospect), a roster player with term and money (Adam Larsson), a young NHL-ready player (Puljujarvi maybe), and picks.

Honestly, if you look at what the Avs got for Duchene, you could see a good starting point if the trade was just Erik Karlsson. But since they "need" to trade Bobby Ryan in the deal, it will be a little bit less of a return.

Sujet: hidden gems
As a Sharks fan, I have been a big promoter of acquiring Ryan Spooner. I think he does have deficiencies in his game, but I think he provides a good player on your third line. I look at him in this way: is he better than Boedker at the same price tag? Offensively, maybe. Defensively, no. I don't know that he is better than what you currently might have on the third line.

I think the current lines look something like this:

Kane-Pavelski-Thornton/Tierney
Hertl-Couture-Donskoi/Labanc
Labanc/Donskoi-Thornton/Tierney-Meier
Some combination of Goodrow, Suomela, Karlsson, Sorensen, the kids.

I don't agree with you putting Donskoi on the fourth line, although that probably has to do with you bringing in more forwards.

I also don't agree Spooner is an upgrade over Labanc, Donskoi, or Meier on the third line. He's basically a replacement for Tierney, but less effective defensively. So unless Thornton can't play, I don't think that makes a ton of sense.

Coyle would be a good addition, but, again, where does he fit? I don't like that we traded him (but I am happy we got Burnzie), but he doesn't have a clear spot.

Personally, I like Labanc on the Couture line. That puts a slower Donskoi with a powerforward in Meier. You'd basically be replacing Donskoi/Meier, so if you think Coyle is better than Donskoi, pull the trigger. Then you will likely want to move Donskoi, as he won't have a spot in the top 9.

Sujet: WHY IS $10,000,000 IN CAP SPACE CONSIDERED CAP TROUBLE?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>DUDE YOU DID IT AGAIN.</strong>

I didn't say a rental and a late 1st did I? (I did not).

I said we have all our extra picks to offer and I listed them.

<strong>Are you saying that St. Louis will easily say no to the following offer for Parayko:</strong>

<strong>Carrick + 1st + 2nd + 2nd + 2nd + 3rd + 3rd + 3rd + 4th + 5th + 6th + 7th</strong>

Please tell me that's what you're saying....it would be HILARIOUS !!!!

That said....your reading comprehension is hilarious either way.</div></div>

Why is that hilarious? Because the Blues want to keep a good young defenseman instead of trading him for a bunch of future maybes and a player you don't want? The Maple Leafs will do well, so that is basically four 2nd rounders, three 3rds, and four gambling chances. Not really sure that is worth it for a team that, if goaltending shows up, could be a top team in the West.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div>And no....trading a 54 point d-man making 4 million dollars in the last year of his contract is NOT a "salary dump".

<strong>1. The Leafs don't need the cap space.
2. He's been out-performing his contract for years.
3. He's about to get a 50% raise.</strong></div></div>

*52 points

So let me ask you this, if Jake Gardiner is such a "good player" then why are you trading him? If you can sign him for $6,075,000 (please check my math there), why are you trying to get rid of him? Isn't he good enough for your precious team at $6,075,000? Why run a player out of town that has been "out-performing his contract for years", huh? That doesn't make sense.

And, yes, that IS how the salary cap works. Read the CBA if you don't believe me. Or should I read it to you...

Defensive...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div>Dylan Larkin signed for $6,100,000 x 5 years....LAST WEEK

<strong>"NYLANDER IS GETTING SOMETHING LIKE $8,000,000" </strong> - logical.

<strong>FYI about Dylan Larkin:</strong>

- Is Detroits 1st line C and best player
- Is considered Detroit's franchise player
- Is the consensus future captain in Detroit
- Is the same age and from the same draft as Nylander
- Had more points than Nylanders career high last season

<strong>Why is Nylander going to get $2,000,000 more than Larkin? </strong></div></div>

Larkin is a good player, but he's not a "franchise" player. Sure, he is the best player in Detroit (by a long shot), but if you're gong to tell me he deserved more than Logan Couture, Filip Forsberg, etc...? Okay, maybe you're right that Nylander doesn't get $8,000,000. I GUARANTEE you he get's more than Larkin, probably by a significant margin.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>ALSO....LOOK INTO HOW THE SALARY CAP WORKS AT THE TRADE DEADLINE PLEASE.</strong>

If a team has 1 million in cap-space throughout the season....it increases by four times at the trade deadline because you only take on a portion of the cap hit.

So all of those teams will have cap space for the above rentals....even if they're tight against the cap.

And if they have no single season cap-dumps....Toronto can retain 50% of all of their traded players.

There will be no issues with salary.</div></div>

Do you know how the cap works? The cap is a summation of the daily cap hits. So you take each player's salary and divide it by the days in the league season. Then you add up, each day, everyone that counts against the cap (on the NHL roster, injured, etc.). When you get to the trade deadline, you have what is leftover. So, for example, if you have Dylan Larkin on the NHL roster for every day of the league year, he counts for $6,100,000 at the deadline. If he isn't on the roster for, let's say 25 days, he cap hit = $6,100,000 * (# of days in league season - 25).

The cap doesn't just "go up by four times" at the trade deadline. The reason why teams have more cap space at the trade deadline is they are moving contracts around, reducing the amount of daily cap hit.

Also, you can only retain salary on THREE contracts, not "all of their traded players."

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div><strong>"You are asking to dump all kinds of problems on other teams"</strong>

The only player that could potentially be considered a problem is Zaitsev....because of his term.

Everyone else is either an expiring contract, a prospect on an ELC, or Zach Hyman (with a great contract).

So I'm not sure what you mean by that.</div></div>

Jake Gardiner = salary dump.

Ron Hainsey = salary dump.

Nikita Zaitsev = salary dump.

Because they only have a year on their deal, the team acquiring these players don't have to count them against the cap? Okay, you picked teams that have cap space right now, but are they going to give up assets for "rentals" they will want to re-sign and your worst prospects. You act like these teams just blow money and just hand you draft picks...
