Thread: Build from the back end
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBigFlyera</b></div><div>If you do Drury instead of Morrow the Canes would accept the deal I’d imagine. CBJ fans will say pass because they expect us to give them Hayes for free basically while retaining. I don’t like the LAK deal personally it feels like we don’t get a lot from it. Byfield has been brutal since being drafted and I’m not a fan of him. We take $7.65M worth of cap and retain $2M on Provy for a total of almost $10M worth of cap dumps and give away our franchise goalie while getting a good RHD prospect, a massively underperforming Byfield, and a 2nd. The more I type it out the more I hate it and thinks it’s a fleece by the Kings</div></div>

No, the majority of Columbus fans just don’t want Hayes. We’d take him at a possibly discounted price, but in reality we just don’t want him.

Thread: Getting a haul for Toews
It took Weegar, Huberdeau and a 1st to get Tkachuk from Calgary. Weegar was a top pair RHD who played the left side with Ekblad and was top 15 in Norris biting his last 2 years in Florida. Huberdeau was traded after a 115 point season and was 5th in Hart voting for league MVP. After those 2 pretty great players, Florida added a 1st round pick to get the RFA vs the upcoming UFAs.

Players with 1 year left on their contract when they are traded don’t command the type of value people on here expect, it would be a different story if Columbus were renting him and going for a Stanley cup, but they aren’t and Toews doesn’t make them a cup contender.

A good comparison would be the Lindholm to Boston trade that got a project player, (vaakanainen), a 1st (22nd OA), a 2nd and a cap dump (Moore). Lindholm then signed an extension with the bruins after being traded. So a Toews to Columbus trade would be something like Foudy and the LAK 1st and a 3rd in 2024, taking out the cap dump and the 2nd paying them to take the cap dump, so Columbus adds a 3rd or something.
