Description
QHughes: Doesn't make sense for either team. Vancouver has absolutely no reason to move him & therefore, NJ would need to overpay to such a degree that it would strip NJ of the very prospects they need to move forward.

Eichel: Why take a chance on his neck (& contract), when they have Hughes & Hischier? Is he a better player, sure ... but again, why take that risk at this point in NJs rebuild? Additionally, the asking price, similar to the case with QHughes, strips NJ of the prospects they need.

Subban (going anywhere): There is only $2 mil left on his contract. At that price, he's a tremendous value & a real asset with the match ups he will now receive on the third pair. There really is no reason for NJ to move him prior to trade deadline, save for an insane overpay. All proposals I see are for a middling return. Trading PK early in the season just doesn't make any sense for NJ.

Can we at the VERY least agree to stop the Subban trades until SOMEWHAT closer to the deadline when the team knows they are in or out?

Even if Subban only makes 2 mil, you can’t just wish away a 9 mil cap hit. He’s got far less value than you think, otherwise he would already be in Arizona or Ottawa.

this. the teams buying at the deadline are often right up against the cap. even at 50% retained he’s still 4.5mil.
