You can't do all these trades. Teams are only allowed 3 salary retentions. You have 7

Interesting AGM here

Unfortunately they only allow 3 retentions at once

Not sure why maybe idiot proofing for dumb GMs?

Either way this is tactful and coherent

Dunno if the 2024 1st is enough to win over MTL there

why did you waste so much time on something so absurd?

no way Dallas Trade.. just why?
why are all these picks moving?
You cant retain salary on every single player you move... there is a limit

Anyone else notice 2 equally bad Kessel deals ?

ARZ gets all the crap , none of the good picks while taking on cap dumps
DET gets all the best pieces for a 1st and a couple late picks

MTL gets a winger they really dont need
For a Center when we're already down a Center Capable of taking only 3200/4400 faceoffs MTL averages so far with Kotkanemi

This deal only benefits DET and what it wants

Truth is the team that would be interested in a Kessel deal is PIT
There the ones with Prospects they exposed in the Expansion to spare that ARZ would covet
PIT also at a point where Crosby,Malkin ,and Letang are again and need to put together a good run again and he was top 3 scorer in 2 straight cups including top guy in 2015 i believe.

Grab the prospects you want from PIT for the Cap retention
Take the picks and give them to ARZ with one of your make or break guys like Evgeny Svechnikov

You walk away with what you need
They get what they need in picks and a NHL ready prospect /player
PIT gets what they want
