Description

Do you pay to trade Lehner’s contract of the books, or just let him sit on LTIR. Trading him and getting under the cap allows you to accumulate cap space throughout the season until the deadline. Keep him and keep the pick and AHL type Dman. Both have positives and negatives to doing it, but they are under the cap even with a full 23 man roster regardless of what they do.

If I’m the Hawks, I would want to make sure Lehner’s contract is covered by insurance, otherwise the deal is not worth the cash payout.

Insurance was a good point. I do think from the LVK point if view. It would be nice to accrue cap space during the year for another run. That'll go a long way and hopefully McCrimmon learned from JBB's mistake. That's why he needed to pay through the nose on Jeannot. Be forewarned that might be the cost for an acquisition come TDL if the LVK keep him.

Swapping dollars for draft capital is always a good move IMO, but the insurance issue would be the key here. Lehner is owed $10.5m actual money and I think that's a lot for a future 2nd. That said, if this deal happened I wouldn't hate it. Draft picks are good.

Great point on insurance. Not sure Myself. But I think Vegas is actually in an OK position because it really just comes down to if they want to pay the cost of moving. He can sit on LTIR for them if they want, and they could easily send Pachal through waivers and sign a true 4th C, up to 1.5 million or so then if they wanted.

Can you explain insurance to me? Is it simply that insurance pays his salary or a portion?

I think if you’re under the cap and can put him on LTIR at beginning of season then keep your assets.
