<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DanteDevilsHockey</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNM1510</b></div><div>That ANA trade is so unrealistic. Silfverberg is untouchable and Fowler is worth a LOT. So for the Ducks to even consider trading both they would have to get the #1 Overall Pick, Hall, and Palmeri.</div></div>

I'm not saying this ANA trade is fair, BUT 1st OVA (Nico/Nolan), Hall, and Palms for Fowler and Silfverberg. That's two franchise forwards and a consistent top 6 forward for a top 4 d-man and a top 6 guy who everyone in ANA thinks is God right now because of his streaky/hot play as of late. C'mon buddy</div></div>

I legit burst out laughing when I read that. This guy has been drastically overrating his players on here for weeks. It's ridiculous.

And the ANA trade isn't far off. Getting an '18 1st rounder is huge because of how deep the draft is. Wood and Quenneville are both solid prospects with top 9 potential. Plus a 2nd and a 4th. Big haul, given that ANA needs to trade a few players to make things work for expansion.

Sujet: Kovy?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>honestly I think they would be looking for Galchenyuk straight up.</div></div>

No team is giving up a player like Gally to get Kovy from NJ. There are only so many teams he'd be willing to play for and NJ honestly has little power in this. If Kovy doesn't get what he wants, he sits out another year and becomes a UFA free to sign with whomever he wants.</div></div>

Kovalchuk wants a multi-year deal and that becomes next to impossible after he turns 35. Any deal after that point counts against the team's cap regardless of what happens with the player so if he wants to leave again or gets hurt, the team is stuck with the full cap hit of a 35+ deal. Since he's 34 now, it's his only chance to get what he really wants.

So NJ has a LOT more leverage than you think.

I don't think this is the case at all. Bob MacKenzie mentioned something on twitter yesterday about this. I believe he needs to re-negotiate a contract. that other contract was void I think.</div></div>

That could be. I've seen both, and Friedman thinks he'd have to sign a new deal as well. It seems to be a question mark at this point since no one ever "retired" with such a lengthy contract before. I wonder if his recapture penalty would apply to a team he gets traded to?</div></div>

When he retired, his contract became null and void. That's been 100% confirmed. If he comes back, he'll need to sign a new deal. And to elaborate on that, he'll need to sign that contract with NJ and then be traded elsewhere. You can't trade the rights of retired players.
