Thread: Misery

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Would you rather get 2 - first round assets for Hart OR get 3 - first round assets for Hart and take on Jack Cambell's $5M per year without retention for 3.5 years?

You can move 2-3 first round assets to lose Campbell, or 2-3 first round assets to get Hart. You don't get both.</div></div>

Assume with any Campbell trade, the buyout gets used in the offseason...so essentially paying a couple firsts for some buyout money, which brings acquiring cost more in line with what Draft pick capital costs in NHL market

Fair

Just thought hawks still be in a building mode for a couple years and will need someone to play D still. thought a couple picks and prospects would entice a bit

Thread: Big 4 C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigSportsGuy</b></div><div>Demelo’s numbers aren’t significantly better than ceci. When you factor in age and injury history I think ceci is the better bet. Or at least I wouldn’t want to add much on top of a 1 for 1 trade unless there’s decent salary retention on demelo.

Ceci isn’t great, but he’s for sure currently underrated imo</div></div>

To me it is 2 parts for Oil benefit....Ceci maybe not much worse, but the Nurse - Ceci pair hasnt been great, so could be a way to mix it up. Demelo also UFA at year end, so if it doesn work, but $3.25M free off cap to see if way that it can be addressed next summer.

I am not a Ceci hater, but like the gamble on a few futures with that thought process

Thread: Something different

Justin Holl just got signed for more money than Ceci this summer...I'd say Ceci has value in NHL but need an upgrade here.

Also Dumba would also want to go play for a dumpster fire in Arizona over a cup contender

Thread: monday musings

More and More talk in the market about Holloway being a good 3rd line player. Lavoie will need waivers this year and is a maybe to make the team.

tippet actually scores in the NHL and his 1.5M salary is critical for a small cap increase this year.

Thread: Pay up for a low cost RW with control

Well maybe my package isn't a fit for your organization, but a 2nd, a former 1st rounder who has scored 20goals before and a teams top prospect I would counter is paying up for a player with only 1 year before due a big raise

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Red wings pass, it's a player they do not want</div></div>

Don't know Wings roster....could be any team with cap to spare...a 4th is essentially a flyer on a guy who if doesn't fit in system or doesn't produce at an acceptable level, can just not qualify and walk away from at seasons end

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CF18GM</b></div><div>You think WPG would really pay someone to play in EDM for three years? And Lowry nonetheless. No, dude.</div></div>

assume WPG is gonna rebuild with Schieffle, Helle, Dubois all headed out of town in next year....would figure they are not gonna be a cap team so some retention shouldnt matter....

Switch retention to Demelo then, just a cap number to be concerned with for 2023 for oil

Cody Ceci is a decent not great NHL d man at a reasonable rate....Yotes will need someone to actually play for them

Thread: Tippett Gudas Bonino

Id swap a 1st for one of the 2nds....

Giroux trade then looks more like a 1st, 2 2nds and a 3rd or in your scenario, 2 firsts, a 2nd and a 3rd...

I just like his contract for this team and hes a right shot which is hard to find.

Thread: Right hand defensive C and a D man

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sammy1414</b></div><div>No way Oilers give that return for a cap dump like Pageau!</div></div>

a Defensive right handed centre who wins faceoffs and has 30 points this year already...sounds like exactly what Oilers need. at $4M thats value in my mind

Thread: Right hand defensive C and a D man

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Isles would pass on this. I think Schaefer & a 2nd is proper value for Mayfield; but taking back Ceci & Pool Party + a partially retained JGP feels like more than a 2nd round's worth of value. Ceci has two more years of a $3.25M cap hit but wouldn't be any better than RD3 on the Isles. so to New York he's a borderline cap dump. Combine that with the fact that there's no ready-made replacement for Pageau in the Isles organization, I think NY would want more coming back.</div></div>

Seems like from what I see on this site JGP has a wide range of value amongst Isles fans, some wanting to dump him. Obviously JP is only to make money work for us. I did this trade only if Isles fall out of contention and maybe they are wanting some picks and Ceci can play a bit so maybe Lou thinks he can help them next year to compete as well.

I would be open to sending some additional picks/prospects as Oil need a R handed center who can win some faceoffs and play defense.

I'll send you $100 if Horvat gets traded as a UFA for 2 firsts+ their most recent 1st rounder,+ a 40 point Dman on a rookie deal + another young winger

Thread: How can this trade happen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gronk9797</b></div><div>todays game is different, assets including cheap ones are premium ask and they need to be a few for an established player. The ask for Chychrun is a prospect, a young established player and a high pick or multiple picks late 1st round picks.</div></div>

This is a contradicting statement...cheap assets are a premium....so we are trading premium assets for a player who is on a career high year playing for a contract that will cost 8-9M long term to sign....

When Horvat gets traded you are going to be quite upset with the actual package

Thread: Post Deadline Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Yeah, here's the thing. This whole "taking some pricey guy that does not fit because maybe they can eventually jump through hoops to move him for peanuts" thing is not something the Blues partake in much. I get that you need to move out some salary, but the Blues are not in a position to eat cap and generally don't even when they can. Barrie having another year left is a major problem, and that's before we even get to the part where there's just not a real place for him in STL.

Besides, since there's no way Arizona bites on that offer, you will have plenty more options for sending to the Blues. :D</div></div>

shhhhhhhhh....I had campbell in the middle so no one would notice him!

Thread: Post Deadline Team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Hmm. Here's the thing: the Blues would rather have Bortz than Barrie, both for the role required and the cap hit next season. Feel free to make some adjustment, but though this is generous in value, the Blues almost certainly pass.</div></div>

was thinking maybe Barrie can bring in some other assets if slightly retained for a quick Blues retool as well
