Thread: 23-24 Meier w extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Losing the Goodrow cap hit is the key to pulling this off. But NYR cap isssues are not SJ's problem. Maybe if a 3rd team is involved (BUF)?? Even still probably a moot point. Paying Meier 9M would still make it real difficult to extend Miller and Chytil (both are low balled by about 1M each in this lineup). And Goodrow is really valued by the front office and coach...if he were to be moved it would be over the summer- not during a playoff push.</div></div>

As I explained in the description, Goodrow was simply included in that deal as a means to get rid of the salary. The assumption was also that Goodrow would be dumped in the summer and kept for the current run.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Rentals don’t pull a 1st? Where have you been the past 5 years? Sharks aren’t taking a cap dump in Goodrow back, cost a 1st to move him alone</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRxLundqvist</b></div><div>Take out lafreniere then maybe because rentals don't pull a first overall pick... even if he's struggling</div></div>

I'm glad both of you paid attention to the actual breakdown and read through it. This whole thing was put together under the assumption that Meier is traded with an extension to see how the numbers broke down. Again, Goodrow was included just to see how everything worked out without his cap hit on the books.
