Thread: Is this doable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Why would Arizona do that?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Without retention on Myers, You're going to need a lot more than just a 4th round pick attached to him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You certainly don't understand the cap and LTIR</div></div>


This would not be a bad idea for Arizona if the trade happened at the beginning of next season, when Myers' signing bonus is paid.

Although Myers has a cap hit of $6m, he will only be owed $1m in actual salary next season. So effectively ARI get a veteran RD for minimal salary cost.

Since Arizona do not have Little on LTIR this season anyway (because their roster is nowhere near the cap limit and they don't need the cap relief). So switching Little's cap hit of $5.2m for Myer's cap hit of $6m is probably worth it to have a contributing player and the 4th round pick that the original poster suggested.

Thread: Is Holland done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Oilers are in a good spot. Foegele could be internally replaced and I personally don't see it costing much if anything to move him. My bet is Holland wanted both Jesse and yamo settled before exploring what to do with foegele. The fact he hasn't been moved yet doesn't mean the cost to move is high just that Holland has to follow a certain order of business first. Decent bottom six forward who makes a somewhat fair wage for his contributions. I don't buy into this narrative that EVERY other team will hold the oilers over the fire and make them pay. Just takes one gm to see foegele as a free upgrade in a future consideration type of move. Good age decent experience there is lots to like about the player.</div></div>

You are right that he is easily replaced, but it won't be easy to move him. Cap is tight all around the league. No one wants mediocre players on overpaid contracts esp with multiple years left. There are about 15 teams that want to move guys like Foegele and not many takers. You will likely have to pay a lot more than you want to in order to move him, but there are teams like Chicago, Arizona and Buffalo that will take assets along with someone like Foegele

Thread: Is Holland done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ceeque84</b></div><div>I dont think Barrie will be moved until next summer... they just dont have the pieces to replace him &amp; the odds of getting a cheaper replacement in a trade are pretty slim.
I think trading Pujli when they lack Right shot wingers through out the entire organization is absolutely insane right now. But sadly I still think he will go.
Foegele &amp; Ryan should be the ones to go. Ryan could even be burried in the minors, fingers crossed someone picks him up off waivers... if not, he would only be 250k against the cap playing in the A.</div></div>

EDM should definitely pay to get rid of Foegele. It is the simplest solution to their problem. Waiving Ryan is probably the easiest move to deal with him, actually saves $1.125m so only $125k cap hit remains. Replace him with a league min player and you save $375k. Gives them space to ice a 22-man roster.
