Thread: completely spitballing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>no the appeal here to both teams is moving out cap they could offload into something more useful.
Chychrun maybe more useful than Jarry to the Pens. But they don't need another high priced defenseman. It only makes sense if it's simply swapping numbers on the cap.
Not taking an extra 2 mil back.
Just like for OTT, it wouldn't make sens if I said, Chychrun for Jarry and Smith.
The cap doesn't work out for you.
You are better off just offering Jarry for Chychrun , both teams swap cap they want out for cap that could be more useful and not include Forsberg at all.
Just send him down to the AHL and save 1 mil on his cap.

See the pens don't need to dump Jarry. But if they did it has to work for them, not rack up their cap to benefit OTT.
It's like saying take Chychrun for 7 mil per, when they got EK at 10, Letang at 6, Graves at 4.5 and MP at 4.
There is no way. That cap number has to come down as they then spend to keep Ned which probably cost 2.5 or so and you are looking at 9.5 in cap to bring in another defenseman that is a luxury.
But if in the end it costs 4.6 for Chychrun and 2.5 for Ned, then it's not as bad and like adding a 2mil defenseman which isn't so much a over priced luxury.</div></div>

what if it was a smith-jarry forsberg-chychrun swap

Thread: Whats the cost of Buch St Louis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Beauterham</b></div><div>At the last trade deadline the apparant ask was said to be 2 first round picks or something of equal value where we were also willing to retain on his contract.

Don't know if the ask has changed yet as he has less term but including an extension is now possible.

I can imagine the current ask would be a first and good, but not elite (think: Wallinder) prospect or a better prospect and a 2nd (think: Willander + 2nd: which is not going to happen, but just for reference). Can also include Buch in a trade to 'upgrade' 16 overall to a higher pick if someone we really like is still on the board. Can also see Buch being moved for a younger rosterplayer with potential (see the Mittlestadt / Byram trade).</div></div>

not that i would necessarily do it but like what about something among the lines buch for grieg? like that kind of young player swap?

Thread: Brady Tradechuck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I was going off of alwaysnextyear comment (below).

<em>This is a team that desperately wants to make the jump to being a playoff contender. They have good young pieces and players entering their prime that should keep them relevant for a while if they can level up. If they do consider trading Brady (and I'm not sure why they would unless he's asking out), I think it will definitely be for a comparable player or package of players that will help the Sens <strong>win-now</strong>.
</em></div></div>

I see that, but to me there is no win-now trade that involves Tkachuk. Hes going to be the best player in the deal pretty much no matter what. Unless youre looking at like Hamilton + Mercer then maybe theres an avenue there, but even then I dont know that Mercer does enough for the Sens to go from 25 year old Tkachuk on a good deal to 31 year old Hamilton on a big deal until hes realisitcally over the hump. Like if anyone is making a win now deal between these 2 teams centered around Tkachuk its the devils
