A fair fresh start swap

Created by: Hockey_Soul
Team: 2023-24 Columbus Blue Jackets
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 23, 2024
Published: Jan. 23, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Binnington has a slightly higher ceiling than Elvis, but costs slightly more.

Laine has a lot higher ceiling than Saad, but costs a lot more.

Term is all the same, and all players should be open to waiving NTCs for a change of scenery. Saad by all accounts enjoyed his time in Columbus, and Columbus enjoyed him. All in all, STL ends up getting younger and more talented so, they pay the 3rd to balance it out. The pick would be higher if not for Laine's injury concerns.

With KJ and Chinakhov emerging, Roslovic is the odd man out. His days in Columbus are over, but he'll make a nice rental addition for some contender.

That's extremely interesting. Saad would probably be a better fit, given how Marchenko, Gaudreau, Johnson, and Chinakhov all fit better in the top-6. The more I look at it the more I come around to it. It's a yes from me, whatever that's worth.

As a blues fan this is pretty interesting. I'm not sure if the cap works out on a trade like this for the Blues though. Maybe it does in the offseason. Doesn't really address defense, but could be a massive boon to our powerplay. I think it is worth considering.

Blues decline. We are only saving 600K on Elvis and really want no part in Laine and his 8.7 mil contract. Rather just have Saad and save 4 mil.

I think the Canes would be more interested in Texier than Roslovic.

All cap savings from Binner to Elvis are wiped away from Saad to Laine. This could maybe work next off-season, but I’m not sure there would be any interest in Laine.

roslovic (although very skilled) is a terrible hockey player. there is no chance he succeeds in the RBA era in Raleigh. Or anywhere honestly
