<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>I'm not into it ryan is a great faceoff guy and a better utility player than JJ.</div></div>

Fair enough - set it up that way as it is a more realistic trade than trying to get out of Foegele's contract and allows room to re-sign a good young player. Also allows Holloway to come up and have a shot in the big leagues. Not a ton of cap room left for us, just looking at what might realistically have a shot of getting done

Thread: All Players 30 or Older and Cap Compliant

I feel like they would make it to the second round and start to lose steam. Could see them making the conference finals though!

Thread: Some Tweaks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>It cost a 2nd, 3rd (and moving down 3 spots in the first) for Edmonton to dump Kassian, who is making basically the same amount of actual money over the next 2 years of his deal. That was when teams still had some flexibility cap wise.</div></div>

Some teams (Arizona, Anaheim, Buffalo, Islanders, Blackhawks for example) still have a good chunk of cap space available to them. I accept your argument for the amount being paid to the players and can see a shift in the picks (perhaps a 2nd and a 3rd or 4th) but I don't think the issue would be the cap for some teams

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OrganizedConfusion55</b></div><div>You notice how evert one of you Oiler fans trade Foegele? It's because no one wants him, including you.</div></div>

Teams take on contracts all the time for players no one wants in order to hit the cap floor or fill a spot until a younger or better player is ready. The only thing that I maybe should've done was include something to sweeten the deal for whomever it is that ended up taking him off our hands.

Thread: Down the road

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tdobes3</b></div><div>He might be a bust, but considering half the ACGM’s this year have had their teams acquiring him I think that fan bases actually want him. And a dumpster fire franchise like the Sabres could really use some help.

Bouch is just a bridge deal, term might be a year too long but they need to bridge him even though they really shouldn’t. They’ll get stuck with another Nurse contract after bridging him.</div></div>

I very much enjoy the way you summed up JP - and the sabres!

Painfully true for Bouch. It'll bite us in the ass one day but it'll be fun until then!

Yeah, I wouldn't be so quick to toss out that he is a bust. Analytics are great for him. I will say, I'm not sure Bouchard would sign for that amount. I love it, just not sure it happens

Honestly, it was a case of "pick a team with lots of cap room." Will happily ship him off to another spot

Koekoek is not making the roster over Broberg... or at all.</div></div>

I was thinking the term might help to offset, a bridge deal to get him closer to FA.
I would presume you're correct about Broberg, I just didn't flip the roster spots around.

I think anyone would take the money if offered to them, I don't know that you can call that greedy. Tavares took 11 to "go home" but it was offered so why wouldn't a player say yes

I think it'd be silly to move Nylander but if a new GM comes in he is absolutely the first on the block. I second having McDavid as well (and I am certainly biased lol) he generates chances like crazy. Put him with some decent wingers and his numbers only go up.

Throw in Tavares, Hyman and Andersen in there too. And keep Marner in there. As a bonus for TO, I'd toss James Neal and Mike Smith (with McDavid in net, Smith is obviously the number 1 winger)
