Thread: Girard so Avs Sign Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>That’s a ridiculous. One of the most savvy front offices with multiple in house candidates for 2C isn’t selling Girard short to a conference rival for penny on the dollar. Seriously honestly assess the trade from COL perspective and tell me they are trading 5 five years of Girard in his prime on a sweet deal. The answer is no 100 times out of 100.</div></div>

Yeah sure maybe Kadri doesn't return and this is moot. Obviously this is just spitballing my guy that's the whole point of this function. The Avs can't take somebody like JPP or even Broberg (unless they banish him to AHL or make other cap clearing deals) to accommodate the purpose of this completely made up scenario. Just relax lol

Thread: contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>In a way it sort of does. Because if they where that valuable they would try to trade someone else right? Secondly since we established that NSH doesn't need or want Foegele, then to move that contract would require higher picks no?

NYR traded Nemeth to ARI to shed salary and paid a 2nd and a 3rd round pick. He was playing top 6 on a contender so the fact that he is playing top 9 in EDM doesn't hold up. You want to move money you need to pay a hefty price. At the very least something similar that NYR paid. NSH has no need to such a move or player. I am sorry but that is the hard reality of a cap world.</div></div>

I'm not arguing this trade in specific I just noticed you spewing the same thing on multiple threads. You keep saying "If he's so good keep him" as if you fail to understand that they literally can't keep him, Barrie and JPP. These are the 3 candidates likely to be traded. Does not mean they are ****. Why would another team do this you ask? Let me try to explain it in a way you can wrap your head around.

Team A (with cap space) trade a cheaper, worse player (or pick) to Edmonton to upgrade depth. Edmonton trades a better, more expensive player (Foegele/ Barrie) for a worse, cheaper player (or pick) to resign McLeod and sign another cheap forward. Both teams have different motives for making the trade. The cap forces teams to trade players in order to keep others. Crazy how that works ain't it.
