Thread: Tampa Cap-Crunch solved
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>They're in cap hell. Other teams know that they have to get rid of some guys, so they'll be taken advantage of. Look at the Grubauer trade last year between the Avs and Caps. All they got back was a 2nd round pick for a starting goaltender. Other teams were offering 1st round picks, but no one wanted to take on salary. The Avs did, so lower cost.</div></div>

yeah they won't get the same value if they weren't against the cap but when your trading good players on fair value contracts that are locked up for 3-5 years your gonna get way more back then in say a Jeff skinner trade last year where he had one year left till UFA and that trade was just really bad for Carolina. Same thing with Grubauer he had one year till he was UFA. Plus Tampa doesn't really have any cap dump besides Callahan and they could move that for a pretty reasonable price, theres a lot of rebuilding teams that want to get the most value out of there cap space.
