Thread: Change is needed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>So, let's look at this logically.
Question 1. Why would Marleau be willing to leave? Presumably, he still wants to play, and he's playing because he wants to win a cup (also, all indications are that he absolutely loves the dressing room he's in now). So, if that's the case, it's logical to think that the only way he would accept a trade is if it's to another cup contender. So let's just say in some fantasy land, that he's willing to accept a trade (this is a HUGE if, and is incredibly unlikely)...that brings us to
question 2. Can you think of any cup contenders (in other words, teams Marleau would hypothetically waive his no move for) that are willing to just eat 6.25 million in what is essentially dead cap?

He's staying.</div></div>

All very true points, VGK maybe could have space. Ideally for him itd be sharks with the leafs retaining which i can see happening

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigDog91</b></div><div>Not even close for risto. Zastiev is cap dump and sabres dont need picks.

Also, Marleau is not going to be traded stuck with him.

Also, marner will never sign 4 year deal, Kappy will ask for a lot more on 5 year deal.

Terrible job.</div></div>


The point of the Marner contract is its shorter than AM so it allows him to get the big money that will come eventually, within those 4 years there is no way he's not better by the end of it.

Second, the Kapenen contract is a 2yr deal, could even be a 1 "prove it" deal. No way he'd accept that longterm

Lastly, Zaitsev isn't as terrible as we think. I think babs has ruined him by wanting him to be a shutdown defender when he isn't. However even I agree that it's terrible under payment however i did see similar trades with other teams for Risto offering about the same. Zaits is to make the salaries work - he could go anywhere. If the money would work I could see him going to WSH to play with orlov (Russian Bond Maybe?)
