Description
I saw that OTT may want to move out Joseph for cap flexibility on Twitter. When looking at the contract I thought something like “Well sure it doesn’t seem great but it’s also not that detrimental …” but then I saw the term of three years and understood why they might want to move it.

Moving term, especially in a cap dump trade, has proven to be difficult for a lot of teams. Let me know what you guys are thinking.

Sens fans will say it's too much. But Chicago is only taking Joseph if it's worth their while. Look how Yzerman grinded Dorion in the Cat trade.

Might be a fair trade. But I wouldn't do it as a Hawk. Three years of 2.75m cap might look OK now, but if Hawks want to splash in the UFA market in the next two season, keep as much cap as you can.

Fair point, although I would be open to it. Hawks have a lot of 1-2 year contracts that can be moved in the coming deadlines. This team is going to be grinding to get to the cap floor every season.

I’d probably do that. Don’t mind moving down a round in both drafts to move out Joseph’s cap. And Joseph’s contract in actually quite easy to buyout, think it’s like 750k for 2 years then 1.1m 2 years after that if they buyout next year. Not too much and doesn’t really hamper you. And best case, he’s productive and finds a role on the 3rd line where under 3m is perfectly fine. Think it helps both teams out really although Chicago (rightfully) gets the better end of the deal.

Can't see the Hawks taking 3 years of Joseph for a one round move up in two drafts. Especially this season when their forward group is already packed. Seems like a pretty light return for the Hawks. The trade that's been most agreeable to both sides is Joseph and a 2nd for Katchouk and signing rights to Kayamov.
