Quoting: Jamiepo
Caps would have to retain for cap reasons. But yes bura for JP does seem like a 1 for 1. Maybe the caps take on another salary in the 2m range.
Maybe leave trade as is 1m retained take rieder.
Rieder's having a good year. I doubt Edm wants to move him.
Burakovsky's pencilled in on the Caps' 2nd line tonight, with Backstrom and Vrana. Might get him going. If not, I"m not sure that Puljujarvi does any better in that spot.
I think the value might be one for one, in general, but this week, with Oshie and Kuznetsov out, both teams would rather have Burakovsky's experience than Puljujarvi's potential.
Edmonton fans have, at times, asked about Bowey. The Caps are also missing Orpik to injury, and their penalty kill, which already lost Beagle to URA, is flagging. As part of a bigger trade, like Klefbom and Puljujarvi for Burakovsky, Bowey, and a 4th, so that it offers each team some immediate improvement, plus some long term potential greatness, then it could happen right away.
