      I don't see Detroit spending that much for Murray they are still rebuilding. The 2020 2nd is basically a 1st round pick and isn't going to be traded.

      I am not fan of trading McCabe. If Pilut leaves then the Sabres only have one LHD, Dahlin.
      That being said, Detroit's 2021 2nd round pick gets my attention.

      The value going back to COL in the Nichuskin deal is fine but I still think Sakic declines - they are trying to win now and should stick with what works.

      Detroit says No, You don't trade picks when you're rebuilding. And after the season Murray had he's not worth this price.

      Nichushkin resurrected his career and was a beast in the metrics defensively, that’s a fair offer for him but if he were to sign an long term deal at the level the Avs might just keep him.

      Pass on Nichushkin, rather have Simon for cheaper

      Zero chance they move JJ, and doubt TVR signs for that little

      I mean, good team tho, just not realistic at all

      Why is MTL taking Johnson for free? 4 more years, even at 2 million a year would cost Pittsburgh something to take on. Cap space is especially valuable in this off season with a flat cap coming up, dont think they take anything on they domt have to unless a team pays them a good price to take the contract

      it's 3 years not four and it's really 1 year as the next year the buyout cost is the same as paying him 2 years.
      His cap hit being bought out is nothing.

      I am not saying he goes to MTL here. But I do see him going to be a stop gap guy on a rebuilding team who doesn't have to worry about cap.
      Does that fit MTL? who knows.
      They really aren't a contender I do know what much. They are a team stuck in the middle plodding along.

      I don't think you can sign a player to an 8 year contract unless he's your own player. Max is 7 years for a new guy.

      8 years is a lot to hand out to a guy who has one good season. But that AAV would be good value if he continues to play like he has this season.

      I don't think Sakic takes that trade, even if it's a reasonable offer though. Nichuskin has been a revelation on this team.

      They're not even in the middle, they drafted 3rd overall and then had a really good season last year and surprised to be a middle of the pack but they sold off this year to purposely fall into the bottom 10, weird playoffs are the only reason they get to play again, they're clearly meant to be a bottom half team.

      Problem is that by the end of that contract they will have young guys to pay, Suzuki, KK, Romanov, and Caufield a year after them. That's when thier actually going to compete again, when the young draft picks they have start developing into real players, until then they're purposely a bottom half team.

      this is why the buyout doesn't matter. It's like 800k in the final 2 years. It's nothing.
      The question is do they need a LD, and if so, do they want one for basically free.

      I have to be honest, if they are looking to tank, he's probably a good fit.
      He's not as horribly bad as some people on here will say. But he's not good either. I'm sure he can help them lose a few games.

      I mean, they lost games to Detroit, let's not discount thier lottery effort.

      I get that he is a cheap option but I think they'd rather give time to Romanov and Mete, plus I dont think any team takes on cap for free in a flat cap world

      Nichuskin is one of those players who does everything well. He skates well, he's got skill, he retrieves the puck, goes to the dirty areas & plays a tremendous defensive game. I feel he'd be a perfect fit with Jake & Sid cuz he's willing to work & get them the puck.

      That's fair, I didn't think Colorado had any reason to move him. I just felt he would have more use playing a top 6 role in Pittsburgh.

      Yeah my teams are not very realistic, I admit. I always target the fast, possessing driving players & dump JJ cuz he stinks.

      Nichuskin has recently played in Colorado's top 6 and done well together with Kadri and Burakovsky. Not sure why he'd want a change of scenery after finding an NHL team where he's finding success for the first time.

      Well, in that case, I will have to send a better package to get him.
