TML 2019 overpayments that silenced them all Part1

Theres part 2 : https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/237066

Not a single trade would go through here. ARI have no true reason to move Hossa, he's on LTIR, and 2nd rounder isn't enough compensation to take Marleau. They want Bracco or something similar in value. CGY can't afford Kadri. You won't get anything of value for Zaitsev, and DAL is in no place to move picks when they have moved all their 2nd and 3rd rounders for the last two years. CAR trade is pointless, value is overboard but CAR doesn't need your picks, they're better team than TOR, and generally better teams are not moving their best contracts. Bottom-6 winger, random prospect and low first are not tempting enough pieces for Spurgeon. Dermott is the only interesting piece there, but not good enough.

Fenton has said extending Spurgeon this off-season is a priority and Spurgeon indicated he’d love to stay in Minnesota in his exit interview with the media so sounds like it’s just a matter of finding the right deal. Doubt he’s traded unless it’s an overpay which this most certainly isn’t for a top pairing dman.

The Wild would take that package in a second for a pending UFA. At some point they have to realize they are hot garbage and need to retool at the very least
You are right about the Pesce deal, they wouldnt want to move, but no GM would let an overpayment like that be offered without taking it. They could just turn around and sign a high end UFA and use the picks elsewhere, and resign Faulk-Hamilton-TVR

The Marleau makes sense if the Coyotes have cap. That's a good trade.
If Dallas likes Zaitsev for five years....then that's trade to. Heck the Leafs might not even take anything in return. Zaitsev for seventh rounder
Then you go off the rails with this silly trade for Spurgeon. Severe overpayment, and the always silly...he will extend immediately. But I don't get the thought. You trade Kadri for futures then trade a lot more futures to obtain Spurgeon. I would rather have all those young assets rather than Sprugeon. Then you have some cap freedom next summer.
