Description

Did my best, Lou has a sticky situation in front of him with lots of money tied up to insignificant players.

- Figured to let Leddy over Boychuck considering he still holds good value. Getting back Mete as a young, cheaper option back is solid. Added a 2nd on the MTL side but not really sure about the value. Adding Leddy to the top 4 in Montreal really changes the look of their D.

-I assumed Dobson could use some time in to play good minutes in Bridgeport, if NYI fans think he's ready then bring him up.
-Cizikas and Hickey are cleared out for picks.

- This is definitely a gamble for both sides. It's clear Lou has no intention for Josh Ho-Sang which is unfortunate. EDM needs some cheap potential top 6 options, maybe reunite him and McDavid from their minor hockey days. Get Chiasson who's only signed for a year at a cheaper price than Komarov who's signed for 2 more. I think EDM has had enough of Chiasson and I think putting a feisty guy like Komarov in their bottom 6 could be beneficial for them. This all depends if they think Ho-Sang can contribute, because they'll save money for an offensive forward to go with him for under $1M, which would go to the remainder of the Komarov contract.

Like so many posts, here is another example. Trading away high cap players and receiving no or less cap in return. So many teams just don't have the cap to take on these unwanted players.

Edmonton isn't making that trade, Chiasson has been pretty decent for them for what he's getting paid, he's having a more productive season then Komarov is, he's cheaper and has one less year on his contract compared to Komarov, the Oilers are tight up against the cap too so they're not making that deal and
Ho-Sang isn't enough of an incentive to interest them in a Chiasson for Komarov swap.

You don't really think a 24-year-old mediocre AHLer is going to get cherry minutes on McDavid's wing, do you? Or have any value in a trade?
