Getting Creative to get Backstrom

Created by: pawnjohn
Team: 2017-18 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: May 23, 2017
Published: May 23, 2017
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Unrealistic attempt to get Backstrom to STL.

**IF** Washington decides it needs a shake-up and decides they need to move Backstrom for cap/giving Kuzy a larger role. They save over 6mill and gain two top9 wingers and some speed over likes of WIlliams/Winnick. They also gain 2 draft picks they have previously lost along with an offensive D prospect with top-4 potential.
All this along with getting rid of Orpiks 5.5 million salary for the next 2 years.

Blues obviously do this to get a #1C and take on Orpiks salary to lower the cost of aquires Backstrom (only way they possibly could entice WSH to move)

Jaskin and 5th are incentives to take Lehtera in ExpD

Buf and MTL trades can be switched to any team in need of cheap veteran help on D or LW/C. Blues do these to recoup assets and to save cap space to bring in both Orpik and Backstrom salary

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I believe the Caps would say NO just as fast...
