Thread: How about this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Ok that almost pays for all the retention you want on all those players but what are you going to give up for the players themselves?

And don't forget you'll have to pay for all the cap dumps too.</div></div>

Murray (cap dump, could retain and flip)
Engvall (serviceable player who can play all positions, which they could retain salary on and flip for assets)
Abruzzese (Solid B prospect)
1st round pick
for
Burtuzzi (Rental having a down year)
Ned (overpayed and buried in the minors)

This one seems pretty even

Meir (basically a rental)
Karlsson (terrible contract, having a great season)
for
Kerfoot (serviceable player who can play all positions, which they could retain salary on and flip for assets)
Holl (serviceable player on a cheap contract who can play all positions, which they could retain salary on and flip for assets)
Knies (top power forward prospect that literally every team is rumored to want in any deal)
1st round pick
3rd round pick
3rd round pick

I don't see the problem

Thread: STL - TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kmerk12</b></div><div>You're right, I was picturing this probably as a secondary move for added scoring depth and some physicality. But on the other hand, Toronto's cap situation is becoming very difficult and I don't see them paying for a player that would demand significant salary. Maybe the Blues do a sign and trade in this situation so Toronto is comfortable planning around it. Maybe Toronto goes all in or maybe they do nothing.</div></div>

With the right retention, and moving out a little salary (one or more of Kerfoot, Engvall, Holl) to a rebuilding team that could retain on them and flip for assets, they can do a lot if they're creative. Kerfoot can be replaced by a callup as hes been relegated to 4th line duty, they just extended Holl's replacement (Timmins) yesterday, and Engvall just doesnt fit anymore

Thread: Mega Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>You are correct, but then you'd have to make this deal very soon, as you'd want to get kerfoot on the market sooner (and you are correct, he does have value with retention to a contender, but more often than not, most leaf fans dont take into account the non-existant market of value for a 3.5mil kerfoot, so they pawn him off and make their trade partner do the leg work)

I just dont think this trade goes through until the TDL, and then you have a limited window (and limited buyers) to move kerfoot for value.</div></div>

Fortunately, Dubas has a history of completing his work early. We've also overlooked the value of a young, cost controlled, HOMETOWN power forward coming to Arizona. Im surprised Gary Betman himself hasnt forced this trade through just on that merit
