Thread: Thank you Drity Dangle for accepting this trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJS2212</b></div><div>Is his daddy Panarin coming with him in this proposed scenario? Otherwise, SJ will hold onto their pick and $5 million in cap space for the 35 point per season scorer that he has been the rest of his career.</div></div>

Was his daddy Panarin also responsible for his more than 0,5 PPG pace in the 18-19 season, because it sure as hell wasn't Vesey/Zuccarello/Fast or others like that. He literally started the year on our 3rd line (behind Zibanejad and Hayes) and was already producing at a 0,5 and slightly more PPG pace.

In your system (again, I repeat what I said earlier, SJ is a place holder), he'd be a great add to play with the Kanes, Meiers and Labancs of this world, who could really use a playmaker like him

1-Sure, keep him.
2-That's fine, he'd end up being put in similar Dzone starts in Anaheim as well.
3-Giving up picks when you're retooling to take on $8 mil for the next 7 years seems...dumb...especially when there are options galore in FA. Heck, for $500 K more, the Ducks could probably just snag Pietrangelo. I heard SoCal is lovely in the winter :D
4-There's only about a 50/50 chance that Drysdale is available at 6 OA anyway.
5-Getting Trouba and then moving Manson puts them back at square 1, where the teams D had a pretty significant hole in it.</div></div>

Petro isn't signing in a team like ANA, he's signing in a team that can frontload his deal like crazy, and it's not like ANA is one of the richest teams in the league.
Also, the difference between Trouba and Petro is the age, Trouba is still at an age where you can be patient before contending, where has Petro is in a major win now mode

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>Dude the entire premise of your team here is to shed cap. You're getting rid of Staal, Kreider, Trouba and Strome. It's obvious what you're doing and guess what, approx 25 teams are trying to do the same thing. It's a buyers market now for these players. You'll be surprised. Contracts have a lot to do with trades, especially now. Trouba underperformed for his money, now he's a serious liability, Staal is no longer playing at the same level anymore, (agree to disagree on Kreider obviously) but you clearly have a LW playing 3rd line making over $6M AAV and that's a serious problem with a flat cap. And bigger problem is Strome who had a great year, but just 1 great year. And now he'll ask for a shtonne of money and term that you cannot give.
Admit your goal here was to shed cap, now think that 25 teams are trying to do the same.</div></div>

I never said it wasn't a part of it lol, I said it's not the main reason.

Keeping Kreider... blocks Lafrenière and Kravtsov
Keeping Trouba... blocks Lundkvist
That's not the way to do it for a team like us.

Also we have a history of moving players before their NMC/NTC kicks in (Brassard in 2016 and Stepan in 2017) so I really wouldn't be shocked one bit if one of/both of Kreids/Trouba got moved.

The premise that Strome only has one great year behind his belt is ludacris, he was one of our only bright spots (ZIbanejad and AG being the others) in the 18-19 season.

Also I've seen LA fans themselves saying that as a plan C/D, Staal could work. And there is retention, and there's a prospect added lol
