Salary Cap Mode: Basic

OTT needs to shed salary following the Tarasenko signing. WPG has trouble convincing quality free agents to sign with them so it makes sense for them to seize the opportunity to get a relatively young player with term and recoup and asset in the meantime. For a market like WPG, it has some value.

Scheifele is just a perfect fit for Boston with Bergeron confirming his retirement. Not saying he can replace Bergeron’s impact (they’re totally different players), but at least he can be a 1C to complete an offensive dynamo with Marchand and Pasta at least for a year (and they would have the cap space to sign him to an extension).

I’ve posted the Hellebuyck trade before and it got mixed reviews. 50% were saying it’s not enough for Hellebuyck, and 50% agreed it’s all they can get for him since there is just no market for him. I still think this is what they will get in return: a replacement goalie (average level), a “meh” prospect and a 1st rounder. Hellebuyck will command a huge extension and teams will be reluctant to give him such a huge extension that would start at his age 41 season.

To me, all these trades for every team’s need in terms of roster players, futures and cap space
