<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>I didn't bring up the Lucic contract. Lucic is the worst contract in the league. But you're way too much focussed on just cap hit. That contract for Lucic who is a 3rd line player in the best scenario is truly awful. But paying a backup in the NHL 3M in salary is terrible too. Which owner is like: sure I'll pay 3M for a AHL backup because you wanted a 7th round draft pick which will not help the team in any way. It's not about an owner being cheap but about a GM who has to be kinda responsible with the money of the owners, which is not throwing away 3M for absolutely nothing</div></div>

Idk what team you're a fan of, but I know that Vinik, the Lightnings owner, would not hesitate a second to pay what's nothing for him in order to help the team in any way.
Datsyuk was a 7th rounder, no? So was Palat. Just two off the top of my head.
If you're so fixated on that 7th rounder, make it a 5th or 6th, who cares. All those picks are super close in value anyways.
And something else you willfully ignored: if he's traded around the deadline, it wouldn't even be those 3M but less than 1M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>The Condon contract is in a way similar to Lucic because of its salary structure (3M salary this year). He'll be the 3rd or 4th goalie on any team in the league. Rebuilding teams won't take the contract because of the salary and the relationship with the owner (edit: owners don't like it when you waste 3M of his money on a nobody). Teams who try to make the play offs won't take that extra 1.325M cap hit. 1.3M is never meaningless in a cap league. For example, your team wouldn't be cap compliant. Look at how many teams are in cap trouble right now. This 1.3M would also give you less flexibility at the TDL.

Nobody will take the Condon contract unless you really help them with either a solid prospect or a way higher draft pick than a 6th and 7th</div></div>

Not every team has Melnyk as an owner. Esp if we move Condon more towards the deadline, there's isn't a ton of cash left to pay. And this wouldn't be the problem anyways.

And let me repeat once again: there is no need at all for TB to trade Condon. If they do, fine. If they don't, they have easily enough cap room as well.

Comparing it to Lucic is really comical. Lucic has like 4x6 left. Condon is at 1x1.3 if buried in minors. Not. Even. Close.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zwui21</b></div><div>The part I don't see happening at all (even tho I'd <strong>LOVE</strong> for Tampa to be able to get him back) is Vegas trading back Gusev's rights to the Bolts. Sadly.
But then really like the fact you moved Johnson and Gourde. It would be important for us to trade Gourde and not JT Miller, just because Gourde will get a NTC come July 1, while JT Miller will only have a M-NTC (allowing us more cap flexibility in the future if needed).
Probably if we'd really like to pull the Karlsson trade it would be better to trade one of Killorn and Palat too already, in order to clear cap for next years RFAs and replace the one you trade with either another rookie (Verhaeghe?!) or a 1 year veteran.

What I'd change is the Martel signing: Volkov is ready to play with the big boys</div></div>

Well the hope would be that he doesn't wanna play for Vegas but rather with his good friend Kucherov. So this is just me writing down my dream scenario, but it's not impossible: If Gusev tells VGK he won't sign with them and will head back to Russia, I think VGK getting a solid 3rd liner in Erne, a solid prospect in Somppi as well as a 2nd and 6th rd pick should be a lot better for them than Gusev leaving for Russia for nothing. But yeah, most likely won't happen, obv.
