Wow. I just realized Kopitar isn't on your first line. What a waste. May as well trade him to me for Jankowski

Could I lower the price by taking back the Karl Alzner contract?

I've resigned myself to keeping Alzner. I'm not going to give something up to move him. If someone makes an offer I don't have the room for and will take him just to make the trade work, that's fine.
Doesn't make sense to make my team worse to get rid of him when I can just keep my team the way it is and bench him.

I juggle lines around to look at stuff. LA as a whole has been disappointing so far this season though.

If you ever get interested in Seabrook for Alzner let me know.
Seabrook gives you a more win-now, even though the tail end of his deal is longer then Karl's.

So you are offering Seabrook for value to other gms, but now it's Alzner? C'mon dude

What do you mean, Seabrook for Alzner+ is what I am after.
Was just asking a genuine question if that is something he would be interested in.

I'm just saying. I don't find it fair that you are offering Seabrook for 2 dumps and a high pick and just not do the same here.

I am taking less cap dump here, and I may not be retaining salary in this potential situation.

Nothing for Gallagher.
Williams, Boyle, Studnicka, might be of interest.

would Studnicka work as the main piece in a deal for Patches or Mete?

While Seabrook's contract is bad due to length, I don't consider his performance to be so bad as to warrant dumping him.
He has the kind of contract every team tends to have one of, where it's too much money and too much term, but it's at least bearable in the present. When it becomes an issue, you deal with it.
I'm not personally interested, and I already have two such contracts, so no room for another, but I think you're better off keeping him until his performance completely tanks.
People tend to want the "this guy is never going to play in the NHL again" price, when the reality is quite different.
A good measure of whether someone is a cap dump, is if they would be claimed on waivers. If Chicago waived Seabrook IRL today, he'd be playing on a new team tomorrow.

With Mete I'm looking for a lateral move, and need a forward with similar potential that's already having an impact at the NHL level.
As for Paccioretty, Williams and Studnicka work for you?

Hmmm. If you do not want Kovar, would you do just futures for Gallagher? Say, Jay O'Brien + Filip Johansson? (Effectively, that'd be two 1sts for Gally.)

If so, let's keep talking. If not, I will give up on Gally.

No thanks. Only looking at right now and maybe "sure" things for next year. Both those guys are more than a year away.

not really looking to trade williams... anyone else who'd interest you? or maybe another prospect or pick? The roster forwards I'm easily willing to trade are Di Giuseppe, Pyatt, Hudon, Acciari, and Carpenter also Ryan Murphy in case you like him.

I don't know if you have the cap space without moving a roster forward? Williams is the only temp replacement I'd consider decent enough anyway, so I don't think it's going to work if he's unavailable.

You're up against the cap. Could we try Helm+ for Shaw as a base again? (Remember that Helm was 26% retained.)

I'm going to hang onto Shaw. Not really interested in Helm now either.

Chicago is interested in Mete and Juulsen.

Also are you interested in a Seabrook for Alzner type of deal?

Okie, no worries.

But now Alzner is on waivers and should play in Laval for the rest of the year. If you would like to shed his contract for a price, I'll take it.
