Trades

Schaller, Tim

Additional Details:

Last ditch effort to move Stone rather than buyout. Retaining salary gives VAN 7.2 to sign Boeser as it sounds like Eriksson will most likely be buried in Utica

VAN

Stone, Michael ($1,000,000 retained)

CGY

2020 3rd round pick (NYI)

NYI

Frolík, Michael ($800,000 retained)

CGY

Johnson, Tyler
2020 4th round pick (TBL)

Additional Details:

Lightning have lots of guys tied up long term at big money, expecially now with the Vasy signing. Brodie saves them a few hundred k on Johnson and with the only on year commitment they aren't tied down to him. Their top 6 could be
Hedman-Cernak
Mcdonagh-Brodie
Sergachev-Coburn

Johnson waives his NTC to come play for his junior coach in Peters, he also won a memorial cup with him as well as Derek Ryan. Calgary is also essentially the closest market to his hometown of Spokane, so very possible he waives.

Brodie, TJ
2020 2nd round pick (CGY)

I cannot see Johnson waiving, not even to play for an old coach. Going from no state income taxes to the heavy Canadian income taxes seems to be a bad move financially.

I like the Schaller for Stone trade, but it seems the Isles are just doing the Flames a favor on the Frolik trade. Maybe trading him to a team that needs more wingers (like the Flyers) and another prospect for a fourth or fifth would work? Flames do not have that much leverage with their current cap situation.

I think Tkachuk's term is off. He could be an UFA in 4 years, so if I am him I either want a max 8 year deal (which I think would be 8 million), or a 4 year deal at a lesser rate (maybe in the 7-7.5 range). Just my thoughts.
