Thread: Just messing around values probably really far off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Those all get accepted in a heartbeat. Burakovsky is starting to kill penalties, and hasn't really gotten much of a shot on the power play through age 24 in Washington. Might be cheaper to just keep him. And Smith Pelly at no cap hit can stay in Hershey for the rest of the regular season now that he cleared waivers. Wouldn't let him go for less than a 2nd, at zero cap hit, if the goal here is to add goal scoring below the salary cap.

Moving Jaskin cheaply to make space for Hoffman without losing Burakovsky? Great.

Jaskin and a 1st, if there's enough retention.</div></div>

Okay cool, the burakovsky move was salary based would love to keep him and add Hoffman but I couldn’t think of any other reasonable way

Thread: mojo and bura trade just combining a few ideas ive seen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>This year Puljujarvi has two more points (9) than Burakovsky just put up in his last dozen games (7).

In three seasons, Puljujarvi has 17g 37p. In his best single season, Burakovsky got 17g 35p.

Everyone remembers Burakovsky's surprisingly bad start to this year, but he's back, and the third line that dominated Vegas is back. Convincing Washington to put him on the market would take an overpayment, like Puljujarvi and a 2nd.

If that happens, and there's cap sapce, then the NJ deal is a fine rental, as you have it above (Jaskin, Barber, 2nd for Johansson at 50% off), but Puljujarvi goes to Hershey to play with Ikonen in a low pressure setting, and hopefully get back on track a little bit, and Smith-Pelly dresses. Smith-Pelly and Puljujarvi look equally bad this year, but DSP's tournament success is more recent; Puljujarvi is still waiver exempt.

At that point, the Caps have the same draft picks they started with, they've lost Barber, but they've rented a slightly more experienced Burakovksky for this year, and then turned him into a higher risk/higher reward version for the fall. Could pay dividends, long term.... but the cost to Washington is messing with a great third line that is finally working really well together, again.</div></div>

You nailed it, I’m not keen on Washington moving burakovsky but if they do I wouldn’t mind a player like Jesse in return.
