Sujet: Sell off and TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Blake Coleman essentially got a 1st and a 2nd, and he is older and not an RFA. I'd also argue less talented. This is the market for this type of player at the TDL.

Remember, teams add at the TDL... just because guys are still on the market now doesn't mean they won't be adding later.</div></div>

Your original trade breakdown doesnt mention a TDL for Garland (only Raanta specifically)- but the fact Coleman was signed at a low hit for 1 more year- made him more valuable - he wasnt a rental- Garland could very well be, his future cost is unknown. Also comparing where Tampa was at the TDL this past year vs where Calgary is- isnt even close (although i think Calgary has improved- they arent the powerhouse that Tampa has been for a few years now).
Arizona is a mess of a team, Garland may be moved- but their focus is going to be moving out the bigger contracts (Kessel, Hjalmarsson, Larsson) rather than Garland.

Sujet: Cap Ammo
Ottawa missed a great opportunity to weaponize their capspace. I like the idea of picking up Fleury, retain some salary and then flipping him to a team (and Carolina needs a goalie!), but last I heard Nilsson is questionable, he still has issues with a concussion, so i doubt he has any trade value until he is able to return to play. Hogberg should be fine as a backup, and they have a few good goalie prospects coming.

Why they gave up anything to acquire Gudbrandson when they couldve likely gotten another asset/pick to take on a contract like Boychuk, Hjalmarsson,Demers etc. is dumbfounding.
Adding Eriksson (who is owed very little, and is fine on your 4th line) and getting another asset for nothing more than capspace (or a LTIR waste like Gaborik), should be a no brainer, although I doubt the Canucks are willing to move a 1st rounder to do it.

Sujet: Detroit Red Wings signed Tyler Bertuzzi (1 Year / $3,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wright87</b></div><div>Oh really? The money is running out? You are an absolute JOKE, dumb dumb dumb &amp; dumber.</div></div>

Really? resorting to insults for stating that the money is running out? Cap space is running out for many teams, still a few decent players without contracts that are now scrambling for paychecks. The chances for the situation to be better next year- are slim, but the chances of being much worse- are pretty high. Still no idea how theyre going to play games, how many, how many with fans, with just tv revenue (and sports tv ratings have plummeted) the NHL isnt on solid footing. Even if the salaries are pro-rated for games played, with zero gate revenue, there are quite a few teams losing millions next year.

Sujet: Ottawa Senators signed Connor Brown (3 Years / $3,600,000 AAV)
He got almost 1.1 million more than Virtanen....frankly i dont see it. Hes a decent 3rd liner- but 2nd line is a stretch, but if any of the young players falter, I guess he can slide up the roster. Virtanen has much more upside, but he takes bad penalties, needs to mature.

Sens did some strange moves, I dont think they managed all that cap space well, buying out Ryan? not taking on similar contracts and getting other prospects/drafts as well? Why the hell would you give up anything for Gudbrandson (who seems to be on a 'guess what team Im going to disappoint next' contract tour), while taking on the full salary? $4mil per can get you a decent dman. Hamonic is still out there, and he is miles better than Gudbrandson. Hell i would rather go with Bowey or Koekkoek than him. They cost less and have much more upside ( i thought Koekkoek played well in the playoffs for the Hawks, surprised they didnt bring him back).

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ilya Mikheyev (2 Years / $1,645,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny12357</b></div><div>Cap hell is a fun term. .. but it doesn't really apply here. Last year was cap hell, they had to pay assets to move bad contracts and still ended up with some bad deals on the books.

The cap situation right now is quite clean. They were easily able to move players to make room for their offseason plans, and actually got assets back in those deals. Right now they can sign their final RFA without making a trade, and while they will be tight to the cap, they really don't have any cap issues.</div></div>

Yah, getting out of caphell is easy- when you give away first round picks to take on contracts (Marleau) or just give up good young and reasonably priced players (Johnsson) for nothing. He was projected to play in their top 6- and they got an unsigned minor leaguer for him.
If they demote Engvall (the 2nd coming!) and use Marincin as their 7th dman (yikes!)...and carry only 22 NHLers...and dont keep Dermott on their NHL roster (via demotion or trade)..then they barely squeak under the cap- by about $100k. yup- squeaky clean!
