<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadlyAnOilFan</b></div><div>like I said in another post, I understand those guys have negative value. But as it is with all of Edmonton's injuries, they are right up against the cap with only a 21 man roster. All I'm saying is that if Ken Holland is going to make a deal, the Salary Cap is definitely going to have to be a large consideration. It also doesn't make any sense for him to spend lots of futures on a team that clearly isn't a cup contender. I see him making more of a hockey trade if anything, so Puljujarvi+Fringe players/ 3-4th liners+lower picks for better roster players is about all that can be done at the moment. And Absolutely this likely leads to no deal at all if another team isn't interested in a player like Khaira/Chaisson/Russell or taking on the cap of Gagner/Granlund</div></div>

There still needs to be some forethought on what the other team wants and is looking to do in the trade.

All the reasons you brought up are why deals are hard to get done. Teams aren't going to help out other teams because of cap implications without getting compensated for it.
