Thread: Using cap space to get some assets with Columbus
Jackets would buyout Dubi before including Anderson as the prize for taking On Dubi’s Cap dump, when the Habs would just buy him out anyway.
Jackets will have $7.4M of Bob’s salary to work with, $6M of Panarin’s, $4M from a Dubi buyout, and with Texier now ready, Wennberg’s $4.9M would be traded.
Some more of these players just may stay and sign team friendly contracts to stay together. Look at Atkinson, Jones, and Jenner’s desire to play for less to keep a good team together.
On the near horizon is Foudy, Bemstrom, Fix-Wolenski, Gavrikov, and Merzlikens. Oh, and Dubois, who has dropped out of the spotlight a bit with the emergence of Duchene. Oh, and Dubois too.
I suspect Dubois is a bit fatigued (more mentally than physically) due to the 2 long seasons he has had, and he needs to work through the grind. No, Jackets aren’t interested in trading him either.
Jackets could send you a Wennberg for what CBJ needs most, picks, say a 2nd and a 6th. Or 3rd and a 5th.

Thread: Something a little different
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldorak</b></div><div>Isn't Detroit in need to sign Larkin? They have just under 3mil to sign him and you think he will get more than Mantha.

You noticed Lucic going to Vancouver for Eriksson right?
So its Gallagher and Benn for Eriksson, Yamamoto, Samorukov, Marody, 2019 1st, 2019 3rd and 2019 6th.
If any one of those assets become as good as Gallagher, which is a high possibility, it's a win.</div></div>

You do know what LTIR is right? That will give them another 4M to play with. As for making space, Im all for it! But then move a player like Glendening for an asset back. That way, DET signs Larkin, doesn't lose draft picks and only loses Glendening whose a 4th line player anyway.

Swapping Lucic for Erickson isn't much better. You're basically only saving 1 year of 6M at the end. Nice, but still you're also assuming this is even possible. Both guys have NMC which make the odds of a trade like this very very small.

Yeah prospects are nice but Gallagher is a sure thing. How often do players drafted, score 30 goals in a year while being a catalyst for their team? Not very good odds. Marody and Samorukov are nice but there is more chance they don't become anything more than 3-4th liners then they do of matching Gallagher. So assume Gallagher would fetch a 1st and a prospect like Yamamoto in return, if sold by himself. Why would the Habs en-debt themselves by taking Lucic/Eriksson only to get two decent but not sure thing prospects and a pick back? They're also losing Benn at 50% which would itself return a draft pick at the TDL too... IMHO opinion, its not worth it. Habs are losing the best player in the deal and taking on all the financial risk. That's not how business works. At least not for those prospects. Puljujarvi on the other hand.....
