He's paid 4.5M next year and 5.2M the year after, while counting for 4.1M on the cap... OF COURSE he would go on LTIR...

Everyone is getting lost in the fact that I only asked if the trades were fair....I didn't even say this was "potential" moves lol.....Just wanted to know what it would take to make each trade work.

As for the ARI weber trade. You can argue it all you want, but at the end of the day ARI doesn't have to go to the $62M cap floor and can sit around $55M. Hell, they can even make another trade or two exactly like this proposed Weber trade and end up paying out less then $50M on the team while remaining above the cap floor. For a team where every dollar counts, that's big.

Also whoever said they can just sign UFAs.....do you really think they can afford to be paying a UFA $$$$$ to come to ARI.....and would a UFA even go to ARI on a 1 year deal ? Too many variables in that scenario for ARI....Just take the Weber contract, take the Klefbom contract from EDM and they can sit as below the cap floor as possible. And this team is gonna do moves like that.

That’s not how LTIR works, at all. Arizona isn’t locking themselves into 4 years of Weber when their other options are vast and cost less, while getting paid to take those contracts
