Salary Cap Mode: Basic

READ DESCRIPTION.

NYLANDER TRADE----}Based off Kessel deal.
-TOR trades a slightly misunderstood RW to PIT to shed cap.
-PIT trades Harrington(D)/Kapanen(RW)(better prospects), Harrington(4th line forward), 1st, 3rd to TOR for Kessel, 2nd---2015
-PIT trades Riikola(D)/Poulin(RW/LW)(top prospect/young D), Rodrigues(3rd line forward), 1st, 3rd to TOR for Nylander, 2nd---2020

JOHNSON TRADE----}Based on Gudbranson deal.
-PIT trades an overpaid 3rd pair D that everyone thinks has negative value to ANA without giving up anything. Enough said.

KEMP TRADE----}Based on Marino deal.
-PIT trades an extremely late pick to EDM for a college RH defenseman picked in that round. This D-man is at a school renowned for brains and is relatively unknown but will instantly make an impact.
-PIT trades 6th to EDM for Marino

OLEKSIAK TRADE----}Based on Oleksiak trades 1 and 2.
-Oleksiak traded from DAL/PIT for a 4th. Again.

BJUGSTAD/LAFFERTY TRADE----}Based on Brassard/Sheahan trade.
-PIT trades a #3C that didn't work out and a #4C to Florida for a different #3C/#4C to help the other team clear salary. PIT adds a few picks to upgrade their centre depth.

LEGARE TRADE----}Based on Spring trade.
-PIT trades young forward to ANA for young D.

Buyout Horny to make team cap compliant.

MURRAY TRADE----}Another Idea.
Both are 25 year old goalies. Peterson has only played 19 games in his career, and MM has 2 cups and LAK has the $$ to resign him. I like Roy so I threw him in as well. PIT gives up 1st(best pick) but gets some other lower picks to replenish the many traded away.
PIT may be giving up too much. Not sure about Peterson's value. Roy's value is about a 3rd I think.
