Rangers snap your hand off at that

There is no chance we make most of these moves and I’d be shocked if Petry is agreeing to leave for SJ AND they’d add a young goalie.

Need more than a 3rd to take Granlund.

No thanks.

Yet Bailey was dumped for a 2026 2nd and Granlund would cost 800k to buy out. It's a Davidson move.

Difference is Bailey's hit falls off in two seasons, if they traded for Granlund to buyout he'd remain on their books until 2026/27. I'm not saying Chicago would buyout Granlund but i think you have to spend a 2nd as NYI did with Bailey.

Bailey had one year left and a significantly cheaper salary and therefore a cheaper buyout. Granlund has two years left and is a lot more expensive, the first year of his buyout cap hit aside the other 3 years are still pretty expensive. Sure, it's a Davidson move, but it will still cost PIT more.

Rangers pass

both SJ and Petry say no to this

If this is how you want to look at it, the total cap hit for the Bailey buyout is like $3.8m. Granny's total cap hit from a buyout is $6.3m. Again, considerably more than Bailey.
