No I understand cap economics. Trading a top four d getting paid 1.4 million is bad. Really bad. Like really really really bad
You are aware we are dealing from a position of need (in terms of cap)? Bruins have not much leverage, dozens of bad contracts exist in the league, and over the next 2-3 weeks, only a handful will be traded to the teams who need to hit the cap floor. If you're looking to shed deals for cap.... you dont have leverage, and if you dont overpay by sending an asset to move your bad deal, you will not clear the contract form your books. simple as that
McAvoy, Carlo, Krug, DeBrusk, Coyle, Heinen, Kuhlman, Gryz, and more.... alll need new deals within the next 12 months, Someone has to go between Gryz and Krug. Again, the hypothetical in this example, is that Bruins feel comfortable extending Krug at reasonable price and ship out Gryz instead.
So if we are going to **** if it should be a 2nd rounder over a 3rd? Cool. Maybe you are right there. But the pushback with zero logic behind it, other than the douchey attitude that you are the internet's #1 armchair GM and whatever you say goes, is hilariously stupid..... and shows why you have posted 8 thousand times. get yaself a hobby
