<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Palms is a straight cap dump TOO CHI, because CHI are not buyers. Jason Zucker was also coming from a NON-PLAYOFF TEAM that had zero need to move his contract other than for positive value. Also, as you've already stated, Zucker was a DEADLINE RENTAL acquisition. If the Isles are looking to move him before next season starts, that is an entirely different type of transaction.

Conversely, If the Isles are approaching CHI with a trade to create cap space for themselves, that would imply there are no buyers for that given player. So, proposing a trade to CHI implies that HE IS a pure cap dump that no one else will take. IF that is the case, then it is going to cost the Isles to move his contract. Also, it is highly unlikely that ANY TEAM is going to help NYI create cap space without being compensated, especially without retention. This is an obvious and predictable maneuver to create cap space, which any GM will be able to see right through and demand to be compensated, whether that be at a reduced cost than he would be at face value, or as a negative value acquisition.

If he isn't valuable to a team like NYI with cup aspirations, what makes you think another team is going to pay for him? Fit, maybe? Banking on him being better with them than he is with NY? Idk, it's possible. But again, any GM knocking on that door will be looking for a discount. So, maybe the Isles could get a 6th for him, but that would likely have to be at then 2025 trade deadline and likely with retention.

To get CHI to take him over the summer, the possibility of flipping him for a 6th round pick at the 2025 deadline is NOT enough. We would need to be compensated for taking his cap hit, and then anything beyond that is our own business.</div></div>

I agree he makes no sense for Chicago. The Isles may move him because it's obvious that they need to do some retooling of the current roster, but that doesn't mean he's not still a useful player, especially as a one year rental. Palms is likely the odd man out primarily because he probably does have some positive value and would not cost assets to move like some of the other high cap hit guys with multiple years of term left (looking at you Pageau and Lee).
