blues say no. we dont need forwards we need stable goaltending and a solid defenseman. scotty p is also pretty good we want to keep him

Blues say no
We just don’t have the need for him atm

Blues pass, obviously. No need for any whack-a-doodle forwards, thanks.

Blues don't need another forward. They are better off using their assets for a top 4 LHD

Devils pass, Slav, Cooley, Jiricek and Nemec will all be gone by then and we don't need more assets. Johnsson isn't a cap dump either he holds some value. Your right, the value is probably there but the Devils don't need more prospects, they need high quality guys.

Not even close

Is a .5 ppg, 3.4 mil one year contract really a cap dump? Once StL passes Detroit doesn't have anything they'd be willing to trade to get to #2.

Rico was waived a year and a half ago in a ridiculous "Bob Murray tries unsuccessfully to send a message!" moment. This year, he put up a 59pts/82 game pace, while being the best 2 way forward on the Ducks. Moving him for a 4th and Walman, who would likely result in waiving a young dman or hit waivers himself, seems like a big 'ol bogey.

There's really only two scenarios for Rico:
-Retain some and get a better return (Possibly a deadline move).
-Keep him because he's really the only competent veteran forward left on the team (Far more likely).

There's zero reason for the Ducks to take a lesser return just to shed his contract...they're already going to have to work to get to the floor this year.

Doesn’t seem to fit for NJD. If we were at the beginning of our rebuild, getting multiple picks may make sense, but at this point they would probably be more interested it trade down to get a player (ie, 2nd for 8th+player or 22nd+player).

The funny thing is waiving Henrique was one of the main things that led to his firing 😂 He has never been negative value, Bob Murray’s toxicity made people think he was

Henrique’s contract is undisputedly positive value to ANA, I don’t even consider moving him for less than a first.

Ducks need Rico, especially with Getz retiring

People like to think that every reasonably useful player who is somewhat overpaid qualifies as a cap dump.

It makes absolutely no sense for Anaheim to deal Henrique because both us needing money to hit the cap floor and we need him to help McTavish flourish

I think that interests the Bruins. They could get a standalone 3rd for Reilly, but to dump Foligno's cap hit for free (if he agrees to your proposal) I think it's a better solution than buying him out or paying a team a draft pick to take his contract.

Sounds good to me. I think Boston accepts that

Blues pass
