Description

Explanation for some trades.
First trade is a pure cap dump and to get Johnson to waive by telling him beforehand he would be sent to Edmonton (a contender)
Neal is a capdump and the lack of retaining salary on Neal plus the term gives Edmonton a player in return.

Virtanen seems to have hit a wall I'm Vancouver and Loui is a cap dump to help clear for Hughes and Patterson, plus the rumors of Van being interested in SR would also be beneficial to clear Virtanens cap aswell.

Most of the players that are ufas for Detroit this off season I wouldn't be shocked didn't return but glendenning is a killer on face-off's so I wouldn't be shocked if he did come back.

Now my favorite part, let's here the criticisms fellow armchair Gms.. 😂

Something to consider for Vancouver - Maybe 2022 second is better.
Or not.
Eriksson can be buried in the minors and Virtanens buyout is so cheap, might not worth a 2nd

I doubt oilers use Puljujärvi to dump Neal. Him and McDavid had amazing Chemistry IMO this past season

Detroit would get Alnefelt, Puljujärvi, a late 1st and a very late 3rd to eat $19 million in cap and $18 million in real salary.

I wouldn't do that deal unless I was offered the double in return.

That cap can be used much better.

It was fine until you included Puljujarvi. And VAN doesn't need to shed Eriksson this way.

I like the trades but think Tampa would have to give more to make it happen. Also the cap hits for vrana and hronek seem a little low.
