Thread: Clean up 24-25
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>That was my thought, too. BUT the pick swap could also be an indicator that they are in discussions about multiple things and just wanted to get that part out of the way. I wouldn't be surprised if CHI and NYI have some more trades on the way.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>It could also be related to trade lists too, especially if they are talking about a move after the draft…</div></div>

This is what I'm thinking. Lee has a Full NTC right now. If Lou went to him early...it's possible Lou revealed his cards too soon. I tend to think Lee and his family would sit down and think about their future. CHI imo doesn't seem that bad considering his wife is from here. BUT If Lou asks about CHI too early he might like his life they built in NY and put CHI on the list.

At least they're talking!

Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>The context is different for those two, at this point in Chicagos rebuild a focus and emphasis should be placed on improvement and culture building. I dunno much about Smith as a leader, but getting traded 2 times in ~ a year doesn’t inspire confidence.</div></div>

Honestly, I've liked Smith for a long time and I think he's still got it, or at least ENOUGH of "it". I think it was just a case of Dubas being an idiot, ignoring things like culture and chemistry, thinking he can just throw bodies at the thing and they will do stuff cuz "I am super smart Kyle Dubas." It's a chance I'd be willing to take if we are being paid to take him. And it's not like he is injury prone or something.

But when I brought up "all cap dumps", I was also referring to others that have been proposed lately involving CHI, like Lee, Skinner, etc.

Thread: Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I have had discussions on here about it with him, I think he's got a good grasp of value. I can see Chicago doing it, but it's still about the futures they get. Ironically it likely doesn't matter, he has a nmc, and he wants to stay close to his family, outside of Toronto.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>My friend Garak got into a long winded discussion about this hypothetical trade with another user who insisted it was a dumb idea… I still maintain it makes all of the sense in the world for Chicago.</div></div>

I couldn't help myself. The guy seemed to be taking it personally. Maybe he was actually Skinner himself or a close friend or another player with an NMC that doesn't want to move but knows his team wants him gone. He was a Canucks fan and Kept saying you need to let it go because this isn't happening. And I told him that BUF fans are the one that came up with the idea because they want him gone, and that this site is all hypothetical scenarios and he is probably in the wrong place if he doesn't like discussing hypotheticals. If a fan of another team wants to discuss a cap dump scenario, I'm not gonna say no because it's "not happening". Most of this stuff is never happening. But he just kept on going. So I just had fun watching him try to reach for a slam dunk that wasn't there. lol.

Thread: Necas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>I’m open to it be 20 this year, with the stipulation in the trade description. Also, this doesn’t necessarily need to be AT the draft, but after the canes have a good idea of his market. Think like a week or two before… heck we even got a trade today.



A situation like Necas might not happen again, so I’m willing to open the cupboard to get it done early.</div></div>

The issue with that is this isn't a pressing matter. Necas has arbitration rights, so there's no worry about an offer sheet long term. His QO is 3.5 mill, which is extremely low for what he provides. Jarvis, Nikishin Guentzel, Pesce are more pressing. With the amount of turn over coming, this is something that won't be at the forefront of the minds of the Canes. They can afford to bring Necas back next year anyways

Thread: Summer overhaul
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>Has anyone on this cite… actually read the CBA? Like in its entirety?</div></div>

Maybe I'm alone lol.

You can reacquire McCabe; you just couldn't do it within 12 months of the original trade.

Actually since you are the only team retaining salary, if you reacquired him you would actually get your salary retention slot back.

It can create some unique scenarios. Like when Kessel was at $8M and Toronto retained $1.2M so Pit had him at $6.8M. When Pit traded him the most they could retain was $3.4M so any team acquiring him would need that much cap. BUT if they traded him to Toronto, he would be back at $8M with no retention, so Toronto could retain $4M, a third team could retain $2M and an acquiring team could get him for $2M.

It's weird but in short you can get McCabe back. Although if Tre decided to trade him for a 3rd I'm not sure he'd be around long enough to finish the trade call.
