What could we get to take on Bob
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I think more teams would be interested in Reinheart tbh. I can envision a scenario where the panthers trade him for a pick and a young player on their ELC.</div></div>
Maybe. I don't think that's the type of move Florida makes though-they're a (very solid) contender, and making their roster worse by selling off a player is a pretty rare thing for a contender to do, especially since the old Blackhawk days. It's why I always get a hoot out of the (please note: The Leafs are being used here as an example, only because these trades are some of the most common) "Trade Holl/Kerfoot types for picks without actually adding anything to your roster and thinking you could be *better* next year" type moves. Panthers showed at the deadline that they don't really care about picks, and nor should they. Their window is open right now, and they should do everything in their power to improve their team.

It's hilarious and a welcome change. People are always going to hate it, and when it doesn't work (like this year with all of the injuries) those same folks are going to shred it apart, but I think it's great.

I mean, I'd imagine that neither are moved to be honest. In terms of players that are moved, I'm 99% sure it'll just be Hornqvist. Moving Bob isn't going to be easy though-half the issue is the NMC.

I mean, if I was Florida I'd probably think long and hard about doing this (Though I don't think Bob waives his NMC, tbh. Bennett has been a great addition there, but the opportunity to free up $17 or so mil could be too good to pass up. I'd have to know that I could keep Hubie and Weegar on reasonable extensions, but yeah, I'd lose some sleep thinking about this.
Easiest/short term solution is probably just giving up a 2nd to dump Hornqvist though.

Interesting. Love being wrong and learning new things...don't know how I missed that Stone buy out. The one thing to note is that the NHL had already said they won't honor the negative cap hit that would have technically resulted from Duncan Keith retiring (or buyout? I can't remember), so I can't imagine it'd happen here either. *If* you did actually get a negative cap hit, I'd have to imagine Nashville would be alllll over that hahaha.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nathaniel</b></div><div>Myers probably cant resign an NHL deal right after being bought out</div></div>
Correct. That'd be cap circumvention. If Nashville buys him out, no problem, but you can't buy out a player and immediately re-sign him.
Washington did something similar with Brooks Orpik, but traded him, Colorado bought him out, and then the Caps re-signed him.

I love that they're aggressive AF. I don't think it's particularly smart, mainly because I'd question if the difference between Dadonov (for 1 year) to Smith is really worth being in LTIR hell for the next 4, but yeah, I like that they actually go out and do stuff.

Whoooof. Just saw that. What a wild and wacky crew in Vegas. They give a total of zero F**ks when it comes to cap management :tearsofjoy
Before dumping Marty/Broissoit, they're already at $90.15 mil, which, once you take out Weber is around $82.29 mil on 18(!!!) players signed. Hilarious. If some GM doesn't come in and snag a guy like Hague or Roy, they're not doing it right :tearsofjoy

Look at the Detroit-Dallas trade from the previous year.
15tg OA for 23, 48 and 138. And this draft class wasn't really strong (except current one).
So here it should be 17th OA for 26th and 33th.</div></div>
Just for my own interest, the draft pick value chart has that as:
Nashville Out: 395 (17)
Montreal Out: 534 (26/33)
Difference: 139 (Value of pick 88ish)
Detroit/Dallas was:
Det out: 433 (15)
Dal out: 584 (23/48/138)
Difference: 151 (Value of pick 82)

Getting Out of Cap Trouble
If Hague and Roy sign for 900 k x 2 and nobody tries to offer sheet them, then it's a pretty clear league-wide failure. People going to complain about Vegas gaming the cap but not cherry pick their players would be foolish. I like that Vegas doesn't really care about the cap, but if other GM's have a problem with it, then they should do something.

I would absolutely be looking for a higher end return if I was Anaheim there...that 2023 1st is valuable AF, especially considering they're still rebuilding. Can't imagine Dunn/recently signed McCann are the difference between bottom 10 and a playoff spot.

Yeah, it was a rumor last week (or the week before?

I don't have a subscription, but it's a solid piece that basically says that he's very happy in Anaheim, wants to win in Anaheim, and is excited to see what happens this summer.

Ouf. Good thing NYR bogey'd hard on 7OA (Lias Andersson), because that trade looked BAD at the time. Even with his on ice issues, it's kind of funny that ADA, who was essentially a throw-in, was easily the most valuable piece in that trade.

Is this a fair trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habsfan76</b></div><div>Dallas and Montreal are two teams at different stages. Although they haven’t said they want to go through a full rebuild, they’ve also traded away Weber Toffoli Chariot and Lehkonen. Hughes also said he wanted to trade Petry. All these signs show that they want to younger.
Dallas on the other hand haven’t shown any signs of retooling or rebuilding. With good young pieces already in the NHL and key veterans such as Pavelski Benn and Seguin (yes overpaid), they seem to want to continue to compete for a playoff spot and acquire talent that can be brought into the equation immediately.
This is a type of deal that can fill both teams need, where Montreal gets cap relief and futures, while Dallas gets a top 4 Dman where a 3 year deal isn’t as risky in comparison to the 7-8 year deals that get given out consistently (Eg. Lindholm for Boston).</div></div>
But it is risky when you're about to pay J-Rob and Oettinger...Say those two get around $12 mil (based on bridge $7 for J-Rob and $5 x term for Oettinger). That leaves approximately $7 mil in cap space. You add Petry, but subtract Dobie for 1 year ($3.2 mil, leaves you with approximately $3.8 mil in space).
Now you've got a roster of 18 players, $3.8 mil in cap space, and haven't actually improved the lineup. You also leave yourself in a situation where you've got a total of $20 mil in space for 2023-24, with only 11 players signed. Doesn't really lend itself well to an actual upgraded lineup.
Regarding Linholm though-He'll be 35 in the last year of his deal. You buy prime years knowing that the aging curve works the same way for 99% of players. Again, like I said above, there's always a chance that some dummy does something dumb, I just don't think that Dallas is as easy of a target as the consistent "Petry to Dallas" threads seem to think.
