Quoting: itsgilli98
Do you know by doing this next year we will be at the bottom of the league with Price and Weber over 32........
VAN would not trade a 3rd round pick for Scandella who is UFA this year.
Pittsburgh does not have the cap to sign Gallagher next year and didn't your learn that Galchenyuk is not a good fit in MTL.
Even if you retain salary Toronto is in cap hell. They simply do not have the cap space for Petry AND Brodie.
Edmonton has a very good top 6 now. They need defense. It would make no sense to trade Nurse.
I doubt Tatar is worth Brodie, a first and a second.
I don't really care about Weber's and Price's age. They hold all the cards when it comes to trades (with Bergevin in charge). If we rebuild properly, for once, they can ask for a trade.
Send Scandella to whoever for whatever, or don't, doesn't really matter.
I don't really care how Galchenyuk does in Montreal in this scenario. He is likely KHL bound.
Pittsburgh can either find room to sign Gallagher over the next two years, or they can just accept they have two playoff runs with a super cheap 30g RW.
Petry and Brodie with the 50% retained combined make less than Ceci, the math is there. Muzzin, Barrie and Brodie are all UFA, so they can figure out their own future. They have Anderson in his prime, and a team that's as good as its going to get, this is their year.
Edmonton, I see rumours they need offense and that they are willing to deal Nurse. If this is incorrect, deal Drouin elsewhere for a similar package. I don't know all 31 teams needs or excess depth.
A year and a half of Tatar at $2.4M is worth Brodie (UFA at $4.6M) and a low 1st and 2nd. Find another player with 101 points in his last 129 games for less if you want.
