Quoting: Timmah007
Issue with Edmonton moving jp is they need a replacement body coming back specifically to fill out the top nine on the right side that is also cheaper and not a downgrade that's extremely difficult deal to come by which is why he's still an oiler and very likely will finish the year an oiler.
It's going to be a downgrade, just due to the cap (for almost all of the teams).
Just from the Wild:
-Jost could be serviceable for EDM, but the cap savings is only $1m. I have a low opinion of Jost, and think it would be a bad trade for EDM.
-Duhaime is who I would pick as a decent fit for EDM. A nothing special, big, physical, cheap, will chip in a few points RFA player; that can eat up 4th line minutes without worry. Basically the type of player every team tries to add at the TDL. $2.25m in cap savings.
-Dewar energy guy. He's a fringe player in my book, but is only $800k. Others are higher on him than I am.
-Freddy G. I think he's off limits because he's the coach/GM guy. $1.2m x 1 contract, 2-way bottom-6 C/W that had 44p last year.
