Another utterly unrealistic -- in fact, mathematically impossible -- Marner trade to Los Angeles, which has $6.6 million in cap space to sign Gabe Vilardi, Rasmus Kupari and an actual NHL-capable LhD. In the face of that inescapable reality, you offer a trade featuring $2.6 million in cap out and $10.9 million cap in cap in plus two more roster slots to fill.
It's starting to feel like 3/4 of your fanbase creates trades by asking themselves (1) who do I want to trade off for maximum return, and (2) who do I want that maximum return to be, without giving even a nanosecond's thought to what the other team's needs are or how that proposed trade might affect it, roster-wise or cap-wise.
