<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Ok not sure of your math, but here we go.

Kap makes 3.2 million, Crouse makes 1.533 million. that is an increase of 1.7 million NOT 250 thousand, unless you are retaining salary.

Arizona has 74.7 million in cap tied up in 16 players. even if the cap is kept at 81.5 million is leaves them 7.8 million to sign several RFA's &amp; UFA's at a million each with only 800k to spare and when they take on Kap it eats up that and some of the money for the other 7 players that they need to field a 23 man roster.</div></div>

You know that Cap hits are different from actual salary earned right?

Kap is only owed 5 million in the next 2 years and Crouse 3.5 million.


And if the deal is made after July 1st Kap gets a 1 million bonus already paid by the Leafs. So Kap would only be owed 4 million from Arizona over 2 years.

So yes...250K per season.

And if you add Hossa to the deal Arizona saves 250K a year.

Thread: Big EDM trade if EDM is not on Kadris 10 team no trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nhlproduction</b></div><div>It makes no sense for Edmonton to take on Kadri (who can also deny the trade as he has a modified NTC). They're not trading a top 4 RHD for a 3rd line center. Kapanen can keep up with McDavid. The Oilers' biggest issue is speed and wingers. Kapanen fits that bill perfectly. As for Toronto, without Kadri they'd have to put Nylander there as you did with Moore and Bracco. Kadri fits that line better, and Nylander fits the Matthews line better than Kapanen. Trading Kadri can be done but it makes more sense to trade a RW for a D because they have plenty of wingers and Edmonton has none. Kapanen also has more value for the exact reasons you mentioned so you would get more back. Also keep in mind Babcock directly referenced Korshkov and Mikheyev in the press conference after the season, 2 more wingers looking to make the roster.</div></div>

Kadri is not a 3rd line centre....come on. Just because he plays behind Matthews/JT does not make him a 3rd like centre in the NHL.

He’s a top 6 C. A top 6 C gets you a 2nd pairing D.

It’s not too hard to get. Kadri has 3 years and Larson has 2. Both similar cap hits.

Thread: Big EDM trade if EDM is not on Kadris 10 team no trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nhlproduction</b></div><div>i really like Matt Benning, i even did an AGM like this where I traded for Larsson and Benning but it straight up does not make sense for Edmonton. if they're giving up anyone it would only be Larsson for Kapanen, it saves more cap space for both teams (who both drastically need it) and then the Leafs D would look more like this:

Rielly - Larsson
Muzzin - Dermott
Rosen - Liljegren/Holl/other RHD if Liljegren isn't NHL ready</div></div>

That doesn’t make sense for Toronto. Kapanen is controllable as an RFA for multiple years. Age is huge especially in a cap world. There is no way Kap goes the other way with Larson coming back.

Kadri makes sense due to being similar in age and UFA years.
