What's the point of trading for Johnsson only to stick him on the 4th line.

He's not a bad player, but he's not suited for a checking line role

The 2nd alone probably works for Stastny.

I meant to put him on 3rd. Let me fix this

The 4th definitely puts this in PIT favour. Strome is likely to re-sign with us. From what I've heard, theres rumours that Kap may not be re-signing with PIT would lose a lot of leverage in any trade discussion.

You can have AJ for a pick or prospect. We don’t want overpaid trash.

Penguins add for

(a) the difference between Zucker and Johnsson
(b) for the ~$6.3 million salary difference

Here is what they are owed in actual $

Johnsson:
2021-22 salary $491,500 ($750k annualized x 131 days / 200)
2022-23 bonus $1,750,000
2022-23 salary: $750,000
Total: $2,991,250

Zucker:
2021-22 salary $4,093,750 ($6.25m annualized)
2022-23 bonus $0
2022-23 salary: $5,200,000
Total: $9,293,750

Net: $6,302,500

So the "+" is going to be quite a lot here. Probably a 1st round pick.

LOL CHI fans.
Here is the difference between a contract that was done well and one that was done wrong.
Kub's QO is like 4 mil
Kaps QUALIFYING OFFER :$840,000

Kap will be back in PIT next year. He can go to arbitration, but they aren't going to give him more than what he already makes, to be honest they would probably give him less at this point.
won't be back in PIT. No one anywhere has said any such thing, because anyone who actually knows the numbers knows that ridiculous.

no one is giving a 1st round pick on that. No one. Just stop there, we both know how ridiculous that sounds.

Frankly I don't think it's a good move for PIT. AJ isn't a good 2 way player. Which I'm sure being a NJ fan you know.
Which doesn't really fit what the penguins need.

AJ under performed in 19-20 and in 20-21. He's had a bounce back year to a degree this year. But that doesn't really mean his value is high.
You're basically swapping out under performing guys for a hope of better results. That's what that trade boils down to. Yeah you may pay more on you're end. But it's risk reward as you get the better player.

So the Devils just eat $6m for nothing then?
Johnsson has been better this year...and will cost then peanuts compared to Zuckers deal.
Devils run away from this.

Your going to have to explain how his QO is only $840k?

You laugh at CHI fans and then do exactly what you mock us for... You think Kubalik is no good and then you think Kapanen is all of a sudden a golden gem. The reality is both have been down this year. Kubalik is on a poor team and Kapanen on a playoff team. those are the facts.

I can't quite make sense of what your trying to achieve here. But sure he can come back if your going to be letting guys walk or moving that Zucker deal.

I honestly think they would like to move both Zucker and Kapanen. You can beg to differ but will give you the most flexibility.

What do you think Rodrigues will get on his next deal?

THIS year. yes I agree.
Overall, no I don't agree.
So when you say.....for nothing.... it misses the point that historically you're getting the better player.
YES that is a risk. but that is trading.
Note, I'm not saying NJ should or shouldn't do this. That depends on your view of Zucker.
But what I am saying. Is no one is adding a 1st round there. That's never going to happen.

I based the 1st off Marleau…and Backes deals….last two trades that moved that amount. Reality is that Devils would never do it, so no price would be set.

simply click the calculator tab and look at Qualifying offer and put in Kap. It will not only show you the number but if you look at it you can see why.
CHI made horrible deals. Players took the GM to the cleaners, there is no debate on that. They should have made his money bonus and not salary. They didn't and now his QO is horrible.

As for Kap, it's hard to argue his situation is "bad" You take out 1 stretch of 10 games in Pit here, and he's got like 20 goals in 82 games. For 3.2 mil per, what exactly did you expect for a guy with little PP time and most of that time as garbage 2nd unit time?
I think people wanted him to be a 40 goal scorer, those people are nuts.

Kap will be back next year most likely, it's not his cap number that will determine that as they won't end up paying him an arm and a leg. At most he'll get what he already got, he might even come back cheaper, that is an option depending on arbitration. If he's moved it's because they needed to move him for another option or arbitration ruined the relationship. Which COULD be a case, but that's true for any player, and usually does for most players.

As for ERod, I can't imagine him getting more than 2Mil from a team. Hopefully it's not PIT. Let someone else make that mistake. I've seen enough of him over the years to simply not like his game.
His role on PIT is literally 12th skater. Everyone else has a more defined role on the team.

yeah that analogy doesn't even hold. TOR moved him for a 1st to open up the whole salary cap space. PIT is taking cap back only opening up 2 mil here.

Even if you add in the 1/2 year, the cap doesn't add up. Especially as Zucker continues to sit on LTIR. He could be there till the end of the season. It would actually cost PIT cap space this year.

Thanks. Our GM did make plenty of mistakes and this just adds to that.

I still respectfully disagree on Kubalik. Call it bias, call it what you want, I feel he has ability. This past year hasn't been favourable, sure but our team is so reliant on a couple of players for offence our plays are telegraphed. Kubalik doesn't drive the plays he is a finisher, there is argument to be had that he could do more yes but I won't be upset to see him on the team next year. I also wont be surprised if he was moved.

For a team like NJD, who aren’t near the cap, the AAV number is meaningless. The $6 million cash difference is significant.

Won’t find takers here.

I'm not saying you will.
But come on, NJ is a 200Mil operating revenue club. They are not short on cash. It's not AZ or CBJ we are talking about here. NJ makes money.
I don't think the cash is what stops them in any move as if 6 mil cash makes or break them.
