Thread: Pat Maroon gone today
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drew1871</b></div><div>He is not chasing a big contract, the Devils offered him considerably more this past offseason to stay. He wanted St Louis to be near his kid. While it is not working, he is also not chasing a big contract. For him it was location location location.</div></div>

He had a big production video about his decision to come to St Louis. He talked about how he hoped he would get a big contract this offseason(3x4 or 4x3). He was surprised when no one offered anything. He talked about how the Yotes and Blues were the only teams that offered stuff and ultimately decided he would sign a one year to bet on himself to get a new contract. Heres the video <a href="https://www.nhl.com/blues/video/maroon-puts-family-first/t-277437432/c-61956203" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nhl.com/blues/video/maroon-puts-family-first/t-277437432/c-61956203</a>

Thread: A new interesting idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Because Boston would likely lose a 4th rounder for nothing. Matthews would need to sign offersheet to make it effective.. there is a reason why offersheets dont happen in this league. Also STL wouldnt afford Matthews if this offersheet hunt is succesful and Leafs can afterwards offersheet McAvoy if it happens which Boston has no room for. Idea of offersheets is stupid. Your idea is creative but not realistic at all.</div></div>

I’m gonna respond to your every point one by one. Trading the 4th away in exchange for STL offer sheeting wouldn’t result in them losing it for nothing. It would only help them. You’re crazy if you think Matthews won’t sign 14 million. Realistically Toronto would match any offer so actually getting Matthews and hurting STL cap isn’t a worry. I think when you say STL can’t afford Matthews you mean we don’t 100% own every first for the next 4 years but this was just an explain. Also the point of this is that St. Louis gets any and all retatillation from Toronto and not Boston. The transaction could even be as hidden as Boston trading an extra 4th for a trade they would already do like maroon. I personally believe there are a ton of loopholes in the CBA that would get abused if GM’s knew. Another loophole I’ve thought of is what stops a player like Erik Karlsson from signing a 7 year 1 million contract and then he has a second income guanteed from another company of 10 million for 7 years. The NHL contract would only count towards the cap
