I believe DAL could make a wild card spot, LAK likely flop down the home stretch here at some point and if DAL get it together can secure a wildcard. But in all honesty is it going to matter? They are not going to be huge buyers at the deadline and with CGY,COL making significant additions, and assuming Vegas does the same (pending LTIR abuse) no matter who DAL draws in the first round it’s going to be extremely tough and not to mention the rest of the series. So should DAL just capitalize on some FA’s and make a quick turn around to compete again next year?
So with that being said I’m looking to DAL fans to see what your returns for Pavs would be for these teams
So I think Pavs gets moved here, 3 team trade list brings down his value (I guess) near as I can see there’s only like 4 teams that are going to be in on him anyways.
BOS and MIN both have little over 2M in space both plausible contenders with additions
NYR(8m) and NSH(almost 10m) have the most room and need the least amount of cap help.
Truly I have absolutely no idea what NSH needs and also see them as the bottom half of the list. Don’t see them replacing either top 2C with Pav, so only for I see here is kunin to 4th and Pavs sliding into 2RW, plausible for sure
BOS needs 2C or 1-2 RW, hey sounds like I might know a guy, so fitment here is pretty much ideal, they have enough cap/move enough players out to make this work cap wise no problem. But BOS is also going to have to make other upgrades here to so
NYR rumored to be looking for forward additions, though I’m not sure how Pav fits into their lineup as their top 6 are pretty strong, but I suppose Laf or Kakko( still injured, not sure severity but will return soon) one or both get slid down and Pavs goes in 1-2 RW is my assumption here, or he plays 3C( you don’t take a guy like that and put him on 3C minutes sooo) fitment here is also good, and with the cap space makes this an easier destination but they are also looking at a lot of other moves to so that hinders their cap a little but should still be fine
MIN been rumored to be looking for center, not sure fitment here is ideal, top line is pretty much untouchable, and 2nd line is not breaking up two future wingers with good chemistry so only option here is 2C between fiala and boldy( wowz dangerous) and slide down the other centers( which isn’t ideal as to both others are playing very well also) but would give this team some amazing center strength all the way down the lineup, and also assume MIN may want to look for 2nd pair D help or 3rd pair upgrades further reducing cap so fitment here is less likely in my eyes but I’m wrong all the time so
All this is depending on Pavs really , COL could be option also but with all the Giroux rumors and him probably being traded before DAL decides what they want to do makes me think they’re out but could not be, Pav will pretty much decide where he wants to go, I have to assume it’s to a legit contender. Makes NYR most likely I guess. Pending Bergeron decision BOS will have enough cap to keep Pav beyond this year if that’s something he’s looking for also, same with NSH but that puts him In the division and if it’s a concern of joes then that rules out MIN and NYR for resigning
This all assumes Pav wants to be traded and DAL wants to trade him( I think DAL would be silly not to trade him) but none of us really know
Let me know what you think DAL gets for some returns here

DAL
Probably my most likely landing spot for Pav, what’s rangers offer?
I brought this up on the podcast. But for twitter… let’s tap the breaks on Joe Pavelski and John Klingberg moving at deadline talk. Dallas in is playoff race with a GM on hot seat who needs to make the playoffs with an owner desperate for playoff revenue. They aren’t a seller.
Stars aren’t going to be sellers even if it’s the best option.
Hypothetically speaking from the Rangers I’d like Lundkvist + 1st (we could add little pieces to make it go through), for Boston it’d be Studnicka + 1st and conditional 3rd (upgrades to 2nd if they make it to the 3rd round), for Nashville there is not many prospects of interest so can’t see a deal there, and Minny it’d be Beckman, a 1st and a conditional 3rd (same as the Boston one).
Obviously 50% retention will be included to up the value.
if bruins are going to make a real run, getting pavs would be my first target. im not in love with trading more 1st rounders but god knows jacobs doesnt care and the future is bleak anyways.
Without retention: the following players or combos have to be moved (i have no idea what the daily cap space is just using overall space...) debrusk, moore, frederic, clifton.
Adding in retention ups the cost of doing business but also allows the bruins to keep more of their team together. maybe they do a debrusk for a 50% kessel. maybe they do a 1st frederic and another prospect/pick for pavs with some retention. send moore and clifton to arizona in the kessel deal. idk theres alot of moving pieces with the cap but realistically its probably something like what i just mentioned above... a first, a prospect/pick, and a young roster player or fringe guy like senyshyn or frederic.

feel like with studs it would be a 1st or studs... dont think youre getting both. boston loves studs but WONT EFFING USE HIM.

Well I mean if they don’t want to use Studnicka then what prospect would they put in? Boston already has the disadvantage compared to other teams because their prospect pool is pretty meh. If they don’t want to give up one of the good one, it puts them at a even bigger disadvantage.
