Thread: Palat gets traded tonight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luke_xiv</b></div><div>I don't watch a lot of TB so I'm not sure about the actual impact of certain players on the team. I always felt like Gourdes contract is a bit rich (money or term). So yes, maybe you rather keep McDonagh. I guess it really depends on what values BrisBois more forwards vs. defence, younger vs. older. In the end TB will only lose one player anyways. If I was Seattle I'd pick a guy like Foote and stay away from bigger contracts for older players even if they're good players.</div></div>

I'm wondering if they don't take a Joseph or a Foote and leave themselves cap flexibility hoping Tampa has trouble clearing salary and their asking price drops. Get a young asset and then potentially get another proven player on the cheap.

Thread: This Team Couldnt Be In A Worse Position
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luke_xiv</b></div><div>EDM accepts after the expansion draft. But why would the Yots do this? Ok, Kessel isn't what he used to be but Russell is a solid bottom pair D at an ok price and a low 2nd is a low 2nd. I think Oilers would win this trade, which means Ken Holland can't let that happen.</div></div>

From the coyotes perspective, there headed for another 3-4 year retool/rebuild. So while Kessel still has some value at the age of 33 and will more than likely leave in free agency next year, he doesn't fit in their overall plan. As for the value side I think it's relatively low for someone who was on pace for 30 goals and 63 points in 82 games simply due to the fact he will be 34 come next season and has been known to be somewhat difficult to coach. But knowing Holland he'd probably be willing to give up a first and Holloway for him.
