Trades
1.
VAN
  1. Lafrenière, Alexis [RFA Rights]
  2. 2023 1st round pick (DAL)
Additional Details:
At previous TDL

(Maybe an additional 1st is too much, Lafreniere's value is hard to judge, but the important part of this trade is Lafreniere for Horvat)
NYR
    Bo Horvat (50% retained)
    With 7x$8.5m extension
    2.
    VAN
    1. Parayko, Colton
    Additional Details:
    Same age and term, retention makes both teams keep same cap hit as well
    Both struggling this season, but have been very good in the past.
    VAN gets defensive dman, STL gets replacement for O'Reilly's offence (assuming he is traded/leaves)
    STL
    1. Miller, J.T. ($1,500,000 retained)
    Additional Details:
    VAN probably adds a bit

    Not a trade Drury would make.

    The loudest sounds ever on Earth...

    1) Krakatoa
    2) Atomic blast
    3) Fitzgerald laughing at that trade proposal.

    Rangers dont need Horvat. Money would be better spent on Chytil when his time is due. And trading for Laff is another no reason too.

    Just to make this clear, the rangers cant afford that cap wise, and you can't retain cap on a deal that hasn't started yet.
    We're also not moving laf for a vet winger who has 40% of his production coming from the PP that he wont get on the rangers.

    Easy NO THANKS from Drury. Laffy isn't available for trade, plus, the math does not work, the Rangers do not have cap space to sign Horvat. It's called a salary cap.

    Again this is a HUGE NO from the blues. Why are we making our already weak defense even worse for an upgrade that's not really worth it? We can slide Schenn into the 2C role. If we trade Parayko it means we are doing a full rebuild and he will go for picks and prospects

    Sharks would have to Decline as well, little to no cap space next year and we have prospects we would rather give his spot to.

    That Rangers trade is horrible. They aren’t trading Laf for an older player, def not adding a first, especially since you aren’t taking salary back. You’re likely stuck with JTM and his lazy play/bad attitude unless he turns things around. Boeser isn’t getting a first. Def not a first plus. Why is SJ giving anything good for Pearson and a third??
