<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Petry cost more money than MARINO ... idk how you arent understanding its pretty easy. BOTH ARE RSD. Yes clearing cap to add an worse older player who makes more money is intelligent.

lmfao now how dumb does your logic look for the BLUES to just give away Tera?


Petry had 107 giveaways last year...and only 17 takeaways....</div></div>

The point is that you genuinely don’t understand that when teams are trying to clear cap space, they get less in return for players they trade away to make I happen?

It’s a really simple concept. The Penguins needed to clear cap space, they got little value for Marino. In this scenario, it would have been the Blues doing that to make room for another trade. This happens all the time.

Columbus just did this with Bjorkstrand and Seattle. They got very little in return for a very good player because of the cap crunch.

Quit embarrassing yourself. It’s not hard. You are just being stubborn and refusing to understand how teams lose value when trying to clear cap space.

Thread: (CGY/FLA) - Tkachuk for Huberdeau, Weegar, Schwindt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>I dont understand why people think Calgary won this trade by getting 2 soon to be free agents.

Obviously both teams didn't pulled the trigger without talking to the player's agents to learn their expectations for a new contract. Then FLO resigned Tkachuk right away..., WHERE IS CGY CONTRACTS EXTENSIONS!.!?!

Until proven wrong, getting 2 rentals is a bad return, however skilled, for a 24 y.o. +100pts rfa power foward.

I can see the drama coming in CGY. Contract saga all season and the team forced to flip Huberdeau and Weegar at TDL while being in a playoff spot. Yuk.</div></div>

People are ignoring the contracts, ages, and the fact that Tkachuk is a much better two-way player than Tkachuk. Florida wins by a big margin if there are sitting there in a year with 25-year-old Tkachuk is signed for 7 more years and Calgary is left with a first round pick.

Thread: Tarasenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Explain? Marino replacement on RS is more expensive. LMFAO what a terrible take. Penguins move Marino bc they thought they were getting a younger player with more upside... they also are changing the D hence trading Matheson.

TML are over the cap they should probably trade Nylander for a 3rd? thats your logic. moving great players for nothing right? good talk</div></div>

…you genuinely don’t understand that Marino was moved to clear cap space for Petry (who was more expensive than Matheson)? I’m sorry, man. I thought you were just pretending not to understand.

Tarasenko has requested a trade from St. Louis and is an expiring contract that is logical to move to make room for Tkachuk. How is that in any way comparable to Nylander? Lol. This is pathetic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Paccioretty was moved bc Vegas had zero cap space... Blue dont need to trade for MT and probably will move Tara in a trade for him so he can be flipped for assets.. lol they more than likely wont give away a ppg+ player for free... AGAIN CAP DUMPS ARE NORMALLY A PLAYER YOU PAY TO GET RID OF.... you are clearly paying for him</div></div>

John Marino was traded as cap dump last week and his team still got back value. That’s how it usually works in this league. What are talking about? It’s like you don’t understand that players can have value while getting dumped to clear cap space. It’s baffling.

I’ll spell it out for you: Teams get less back in return for players when they are trying to clear cap space and everyone knows it. It’s not hard to grasp.

Thread: How Id Finish The Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StarWarsFur</b></div><div>Well if only it was so simple to move McGinn, he's a fourth liner/fringe third liner making 2.75 for the next three years, no team wants his contract. The forward group as is just isn't good enough, and you can't improve it without moving out cap-space, and the obvious ones Mcginn or Zucker would be too expensive to move.</div></div>

If there's no move to be made, there's no move to be made. And McGinn can definitely be moved with enough stuff thrown in there (it's just a matter of determining cost/benefit). His buyout is also not insane with only a cap hit of like a million each year.

The point is that moving Pettersson without any depth behind him or a replacement is simply a bad idea unless you are making some crazy move to drastically improve in other areas.

Thread: Future doesnt matter give Kadri all the money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>Letang loves Dumo so he isn’t going anywhere and if he were traded it’s certainly not for a 2nd as bad as he was last year. And Malkin on a wing is a really really bad idea</div></div>

It's been reported that Dumoulin was absolutely one of the guys being talked about on the market.

Moving players with teams capped out is hard. Returns on players is lower than you would expect/want. No team is giving you a first for Brian Dumoulin. Look at what the Penguins got from moving a younger player who was better last season (Marino). You aren't getting a ton back from a player like Dumoulin unless its at the deadline.

Malkin has played plenty of wing in his career. Crosby and Malkin together, especially pre-sullivan was very effective. The Flyers moved Giroux to the wing in his early 30's and his career had a resurgence.
