Thread: Kirillin Time-
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>As a Leafs fan that is a tough deal because it takes a lot of our depth on RW away (Bracco would ideally be Kapanen's replacement). That being said, I think the Leafs would do it. I could see Dubas trying to include Johnsson instead of Kapanen, or another Marlie forward prospect instead of Bracco. I would think they want an opportunity to have extension talks with Spurgeon first though.

I'm not sure Philly makes that move though.</div></div>

Thanks for your comments. In regards to the Toronto deal, I would look at other prospect instead of Bracco, but I do think Kap would need to be a part of the deal. I wasn't sure about the Philly deal, but they might want a Proven Goalie for a couple of years while the Kid gets some seasoning in the NHL and I think Dubby would be a good mentor, plus Fletcher has some ties to these players

Thread: 5 Trades-- TOR VGK or any team BOS EDM TBL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Think of it as a 3-way trade, but for retention reasons it's two separate deals. Backes would know ahead of time his final destination and would waive. For example...

To ARZ - Backes + Cehlarik + mid pick/prospect
To BOS - depth player or late pick or older under achieving prospect

To MIN - Backes @ 50% retained
To ARZ - Pick/prospect

-Boston gets cap space
-Arizona gets $3 million in dead cap (only paying $1.25 mill) + picks/prospects
-Minnesota gets Backes @ 50% retained

^That's the framework of how you move Backes using a cap floor team.</div></div>

Interesting idea for sure, and has some contingencies and moving parts. I think Min would be an easy no on that specific deal. Min would not want a return of just Backes even at 50% without anything else, the whole point of a team accepting Backes would be to get additional pieces in return.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>After July 1st Backes is only owed $5 million total over the next two seasons. He's a prime candidate to get flipped to a cap floor team who would retain 50% and flip him to another team of his choice. In total the middle man gets a $3 million hit per year, while only having to pay $1.25 million per year. IDK where you read that rumor, but Sweeney refused to include a 1st for Brayden Schenn, I can't imagine he changed his stance for Staal.</div></div>


Which Cap floor team our you thinking? He still will have a NTC for 8 teams. So he could deny a trade to a lot of the Cap Floor teams. My best guess those 8 teams will at least include Ottawa, Arizona, NJD, FLA, Van and he will still get to pick 3 others. CBJ might be a an option if they dont retain any of their UFAs (they are also low on picks). All I am saying is it still might be hard to find a trade partner.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>As a Boston fan I wouldn't touch that deal.

Backes will be easier to move than people think (post July 1st). Sweeney is also very much a draft and develop guy and his 1st rounder was basically a non-starter in all trade takes this TDL. Wagner just signed here, is a hometown kid and fan favorite. I also don't see Sweeney moving on from Senyshyn just yet as the Bruins have been happy with how he's develop from a offensive minded scorer to a 200ft player.</div></div>


Thanks for the comment. I still think Backes will be tough to move. His NMC does move to an 8 Team NTC, but you still need to find a team with Cap Space willing to take on his contract. He might accept a trade to come home to Min. I read a rumor that Boston put their 2019 1st and Kurlay on the table for Eric Staal at the TDL, so I think Zucker would fetch a greater return especially if Min took on Backes. Thanks again
