DRW - Salary Turnover

I like this concept a lot, and I think it would work very well for Detroit to utilize the cap like this.

I think that the Blues would need to pay more to dump 10M of cap onto Detroit. Potentially adding a prospect like Kostin along with the 1st (assuming its late).

I think the Coyotes would want more in return than a 7th, since Raanta is still a serviceable goalie. Potentially trading them a serviceable forward like Glendening for their bottom 6?

Uhh no. The offer above is the absoute upper limit of what the Red Wings could ask for. Sending a 2nd for Steen and getting back a 3rd for Bozak is closer to true value. None of it matters if those Blues players won't waive to go to Detroit, which seems likely.

Take out the first in the ARZ trade lol, Raanta is still a capable starter, and should go for no less than a second, Stepan has a bad contract, but again is still an NHL caliber player, it's not like the Marleau dump where CAR had to take on 6 mil in completely dead cap, I'd be surprised if ARZ would have to pay more than a third (but i could see a second being reasonable fs) to move him

Who realistically has the cap space to take on a 5M Bozak for 3C duties without cap going back? He’s a useful player don’t get me wrong but you can’t overpay your 3C if you want to retain AP. Steen and Marleau are within 500k of each other and that’s why I doubting the 2nd to move him. That’s also why I did the 4th going back but I’d probably switch it to a 3rd if needed.


Raanta isn’t returning a second round pick the guy can’t stay healthy and Stepan although is an NHL is grossly overpaid therefore is a cap dump.

Edit - I think you’re talking about this ACGM which has Dvorak also in it.

So the assumption with the Arizona trade is that a 1st = a 7th.

Yeah that’s gonna be a hard pass from Arizona
