Thread: Actual Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Kane's base salary last season was only $2.9M. The deadline is is about 2/3's of the season. $2.9M X 2/3 = $1.9M, $2.9M - $1.9M = $1M, and 25% of $1M is $250K. Kane was only owed $250K by AZ. Lindholm's base salary for this season is $4.85M. Which means, if this trade is at the deadline, and CHI retains 50%, that would leave CHI liable for $825K. That is more than what Kane was owed.</div></div>

Let's go back to 2022. Max Domi's salary was $6M. (with a cap hit of $5.3M). Florida retained half when he was traded to Carolina. $6M x 2/3= $4M, $6M-$4M=$2M, 25% of $2M is $500k.

His retention was traded for a 6th round pick and the rights to Yegor Korshkov, who was unsigned and is still in Russia.

Cap &gt; real money to teams like the Rangers, and nobody has ever gotten a 2nd solely for retention. Don't care if you attach a 4th, doesn't make it worth it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I think any realistic situation involves a good prospect, a decently young roster replacement (Zetterlund -&gt;Sharks), a great prospect and a 1st + 2nd (possibly conditional to turn into a 1st).

I’m pretty convinced for Buch at 50% the return would at bare minimum be in the realm of the Meier trade. I don’t see why he would be moved for less especially this season when a more Horvat return is something that’s conceivable at the tdl. The overall pieces between the two aren’t that far off.

Ohkutiok + Zetterlund + Mukmahdullin + late 1st + cond 2nd
Vs
Mid tier 1st + Raty + Beauvillier

Hypothetically just spitballing.

Kakko + Schneider + Othmann + 1st + 25 cond 2nd. For Buch at 50%.

Not really sure how much that accomplishes for us versus just keeping Buch. We’re bound to be stuck right on the cusp for a while id imagine. Our defense isn’t great but is too good to flatline. Same with our forwards. And our goalies have been stealing points left and right. Extending Buch realistically is probably our best route, unless someone is willing to chuck a true top end d prospect our way</div></div>

Ok I was way off lmao. Understandable though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesReport18</b></div><div>A trade back to the Rangers would be interesting. I feel like the Rangers wouldn't do it though because it would be like admitting a mistake in trading him the first time (it was for salary needs but still).
Either way the Rangers have the prospects and picks to get a deal done. I'd imagine they would want the deal centered around Kakko but his value has dipped a lot and his injury seems bad so the Blues likely don't go for him. Do you have any trade proposals?</div></div>

Yeah, it seems unlikely considering it basically would be Drury showing he made a mistake... it'd benefit them like crazy but I think the combo of that and probably the potential weight of the package just might be too much. Sucks but that's the hole he dug.
