Thread: Rakell And Manson Return
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>Manson, Marchment, Bura are all nice adds I like while Rakell, ZAR, and the Gardiner trade are no thank yous to me

I think I may rather try getting a Brock Boeser possibly to play where Rakell is

Kapanen is making too much as well</div></div>
ZAR is an elite defensive forward who could be detrimental to the Ducks penalty kill going forward. I think re-signing him is pretty realistic and $2.3 million AAV for 4 years is a steal. The Gardiner trade essentially gives the Ducks defenseman in Ethan Bear who is still pretty young and a free 2nd for one year of Jake Gardiner, and older dman in Kevin Shattenkirk who might not even play well this coming season, and an injury risk Max Jones who’s more of a liability at this point. I honestly don’t know how the Ducks say no to a trade like this if it’s offered to them unless more can be added going the Ducks way. As for Rakell, that I can agree could not happen at all, but I don’t think bringing him back would be terrible. He’s familiar with the system, he still has plenty of good years left, and it just feels like a direction that Verbeek would want to go if presented to him. As for Kapanen, I really don’t know what a good number for him is but I’m sure he’ll make at least a little bit more than his last contract regardless.

Thread: Jonathan Quick Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that your math is off.

The Kings have just under $30 million committed to 9 forwards for next season, just over $18.5 million to 5 defensemen, and $10.8 million to the two goalies. That's $59.3 million, which leaves $22 million to the current cap ceiling of $81.5 million. Assume that Kempe gets $5.25 million, Anderson $3.5 million, Durzi $2.5 million, Lemieux $1.75 million and Grundstrom $1.5 million. That leaves $7.5 million for two players to fill out a 23-man roster, and they can be filled by two ELC guys (like Turcotte) coming up from Ontario. But even assuming we sign or acquire an expensive LD or forward, there's plenty of money in the bank even if my estimations are conservative (like, a million low on each of the three big re-signs).

P.S. I forgot about the Phaneuf and Richards dead cap totaling $2 million, but I think my point still holds.</div></div>
I also factored Olli Maatta into this. He had a major bounce back year this year and I think he gets about $4.5 million if the Kings re-sign him, which I believe they will do.
