EK65
Y'all are asking for more than 2-firsts, arguably 2 of the top 3 forward prospects, and three roster players?? I think Draisaitl could be added to this deal and somebody would still say "Okay now you still have to pay for Karlsson"

Yeah it's just what team can actually fit in 9 million this year? Maybe bringing a third team in is more likely but I don't think they will really be able to move him unless they get his cap hit into the 7-8 range and even then that's still going to be hard.

I don't disagree but the LW is going to be very hard for him to crack anytime soon with guys like Nuge, Drai, McLeod, Holloway, Kane all getting time down that side unless Edmonton never finds a legit RW.

I'm not saying SJ buys him out, Rob, I'm saying big money contracts that extend into a players late 30s are typically buyouts or LTIR near the end. 9 mill may be reasonable this year but in 2 or 3 years it could be a boat anchor. Which is why, I would guess, it'd be hard pressed for a Karlsson trade to actually happen in real life as SJ may not want to retain half and other teams may not want to risk that contract for less than half retention

I could see another pick (especially conditional) added to the deal and I would think Chicago would be willing to retain on McCabe if it got them a first in this draft with how much the cap is likely to increase in the coming years but I could be wrong obviously. JP is necessary for the cap to work and is a zero risk option for Chicago. Maybe the scenery change helps him and they get a useable young player and if not he walks.
So call it a 1st, 2nd, Schaefer and JP for Domi and McCabe retained. Think some people on EDM and CHI sides could complain about that which likely means it's pretty fair

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Hawks decline. The 2023 1st and Schaffer are probably enough for McCabe half retained IF Hawks are willing to retain for the extra 2 seasons. But Domi half retained costs your 2023 2nd. Puli has little value. He's overpaid for what he brings, and his $3m qualifying offer next year essentially makes him a pending UFA. Hawks will take him to make your cap work, but he has no value in this trade.</div></div>
Yeah you could be right. I would be surprised if the Oil pay Schaefer and a first for McCabe retained alone but who knows. Adding a second sounds reasonable to me though.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodfella</b></div><div>You don't seriously think that's a good trade do you?
What other team has retained that much for that long around the league? Do you think there is a reason there isn't one?</div></div>
Just my opinion. Realistically I doubt SJ is able to move Karlsson at all because any team that would be looking at acquiring him likely cannot commit to that kind of term. Contracts like that are more likely to end in a buyout or LTIR than anything else. If big money deals like such were so easy to move Kane probably wouldn't still be in Chicago

Well Barrie's deal expires at the end of next season and he can be used as a trade piece next deadline as a rental to a contender (especially if the cap goes up more than 1 mill). Don't disagree it would be a huge steal to have EK under $6 mill this year but he's struggled to stay healthy already and 4 more years on a player approaching their mid-30s isn't something teams are paying top dollar for these days. I mean hell, Vegas traded Pacioretty away for free. It's hard to move big contracts with significant term

What is the purpose of even suggesting that counter offer. I think even you, as a Sabres fan, can understand the clear point of this hypothetical trade would be to free up cap space from Edmonton's perspective. Which a Bjork for Foegele trade clearly doesn't do to the extent required by Edmonton

$2,750,000 until 2023-24 (UFA)
37 Warren Foegele L 82 12 14 26 26/82 = 0.317 ppg
Dylhole Which one of those four LW do you see Warren replacing?
Every one has more pp/g than he:
53 Jeff Skinner L 80 33 30 63 63/80 = 0.788 ppg
71 Victor Olofsson L 72 20 29 49 49/72 = 0.681 ppg
74 Rasmus Asplund L 80 8 19 27 27/80 = 0.338 ppg
28 Zemgus Girgensons L 56 10 8 18 18/56 = 0.321 ppg
He does not score well so he is not going to knock out Olofsson nor Skinner.
He is paid much more than Girgensons or Asplund who PK which he does not.
He does not play center so he will not replace Thompson, Krebs, Cozens nor Mittelstadt:
72 Tage Thompson R 78 38 30 68 68/78 = 0.872 ppg
37 Casey Mittelstadt C 40 6 13 19 19/40 = 0.48 ppg
19 Peyton Krebs C 48 7 15 22 22/48 = 0.46 ppg
24 Dylan Cozens C 79 13 25 25/79 = 0.317 ppg
He certainly will not replace Tuch, Quinn, Hinostroza or Okposo at RW:
89 Alex Tuch R 50 12 26 38 38/50 = 0.760 ppg
21 Kyle Okposo R 74 21 24 45 45/74 =0.608 ppg
29 Vinny Hinostroza RW 62 13 12 25 25/62 = 0.403 ppg</div></div>
Well since you only listed 3 RWs I will say he replaces the fourth. Since he is a LW/RW after all.

Fair enough but that causes a bit of an issue cap-wise swapping Pool in for Phil where suddenly Benson or Shore need to be regulars instead of adding a Milano/ ZAR. So you could think of it as Severson, Kessel and Milano for that deal as the 3 mill from Pool gets used to sign those two. In this hypothetical situation at least.

Ben Chariot went for a first, fourth and prospect and is a significantly worse player than Severson and I don't see Barrie adding a ton of value in this case since NJ probably doesn't want his final year on the books. But I would gladly keep the first just don't think it's realistic

In this scenario it's for 900k cap space and an extra year under contract with Kakko and both guys could do with a change of scenery. Only have the third in there because I've been yelled at by Rangers fans before for doing 1 for 1 but realistically a 1 for 1 is more likely.

That is quite literally the reason the Oil would potentially look to move Barrie. Bouchard and Barrie are the same type of player so obviously the team with cap problems would look to keep the younger, cheaper option and trade the more expensive option. Ideally to bring in a cheaper, no offense all defense type to provide a mix on the right side.
