Nice try but Yotes don’t want you bad contracts.

They want everyone else's. Why not our active players.

Arizona has no incentive to take on almost $12 million in cap on bloated, long-term contracts for a 2nd and a 3rd. They took on bad contracts when the real dollars paid was far less than the cap hit while they were rebuilding, but they’re clearly trying to compete now.

Boychuk isnt bad. Ladd fits in top 9. They get 2nd and 3rd for them

Isles couldn't win a cup with Tavares in fold, And now that Tavares is gone. No way the Isles are any where close to winning a cup.

Of course, Tavares was the reason you couldn't win before. I wonder how many points Bailey is going to score this year?

I think ur wrong. With Barry Trotz coaching, Barzy first line, promising prospects such as Bellows and Ho-Sang, and with the players on the team last yr (Lee 40 goals, for instance) and more defensive forwards, this team is certainly a playoff hopeful. If they were to trade for another top defensemen, they have a real chance of playoffs. And hopefully, the Cup. Its a long shot, but this team can compete.

ladd and boychuk have very restrictive ntcs. for the same reasons that you don't want on isles, other teams don't want them either. Arizona takes on bad contracts where they don't actually have to pay out actual dollars.
