    It depends on what the bad contract is.


    In this instance, I prefer the trade involving Kassian.


    1. Kassian's contract has a lower cap hit than Zaitsev's both before and after a buyout.

    2. Kassian's contract has no signing bonus money.

    3. Kassian has no trade protection.

    4. We are giving away a really low 4th round pick for 2024 versus the 45th overall pick in a supposedly deep draft for 2023.

    Zaitsev for a set of cones and a milk crate full of pucks. With inflation and supply chain issues, its hard to get practice equipment.
