Quoting: ceeque84
Im ok with going out and getting P Kane IF it doesnt involve trading Pujli, Holloway, Bourgault, or Bouch.
Also i get its for cap purposes, but repalcing Barrie with Subban is not good.... plus Dallas does not have the cap space to take on Barrie.
See the situation is this. In order for us to get under the ceiling, we need to give up one of the players with medium contracts, this is a fact. With the addition of Holloway, Foegele falls into the fourth three, and Holland's acquisition of Gianmark tells us that Holland pre-determined Foegele to leave the team, although he is a good player, he was a victim of his contract and for Edmonton he was in the fourth three, became superfluous.
Then, to add Kane, we need to remove someone else. We do not touch Pulyujärvi otherwise we will critically weaken the attack, so the next one to exit is Barry. Without Barry waived, we simply can't add Kane to our team even with a quarter of the salary. Yes, a similar situation, as with Foegele, in an ideal world, I would not refuse them, but the salary cap forces us to abandon useful players.
And then with the current lineup of the defense, objectively everyone agrees that for the playoffs we need to strengthen the defense, so we would still have to give up Barry to add someone. Barry is a good blueliner, but I think Subban is at least as good as Barry in defensive action for third pair and at a price four times cheaper than Barry's, and we can use the saved space under the ceiling at the deadline of the exchange to increase protection.
At the expense of Dallas, I really missed that they do not have enough space under the ceiling, yes, I agree, so you can try to move it for the same price, for example, Seattle, Ottawa or Buffalo.
