Thread: Trade idea with VGK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Linlan</b></div><div>Have you seen VGK cap? They’re already around 2M OVER the cap and haven’t even begun signing their RFA and UFA’s, Clarkson can’t be put on LTIR until the season starts and by then they need to have given out their contract already which they can’t cause they can only exceed the cap by 10% during the off-season and they will immediately be at that limit with only the Karlsson contract
Substract Clarkson and add Karlsson on the team and VGK are still over the cap with players to sign. Eakin is expendable with Class coming up but due to the cap hell he won’t bring any value in particular. Eakin is IMO worth at tops a 2nd (defensive 30-40p 3C with 1 year left until UFA) but not with his team in desperate need for cap relief
Do you think Marleau was so bad player Toronto had to give up a 1st?
Do you think Subban was so bad New Jersey only had to give up some B-prospect and a couple of 2nd’s?
No and no, cap space is a asset and that’s what VGK will get but to get asset you need to give asset and Eakin+Clarkson=9.1M in cap relief and NYR would only get around 30-40p for that which is why IMO a 1st have to be included if VGK wanna keep most of their roster intact and most important, under contract

P.s sorry for long read, I can get ahead of myself sometimes when I wanna explain something as good as possible</div></div>

Leafs gave the canes a 1st because it’s highly likely they’ll have to buy Marleau out, it’s a business and few million dollars ain’t a small number; on the other hand Clarkson’s contract doesn’t carry any real money, so there’s a big difference.
For the Subban trade, I feel like Nashville got fleeced, but remember Subban carries a 9 million cap hit and is declining, all Vegas players are on much smaller and controllable contracts, so more teams will be in on them (New Jersey was the only team willing to take Subban’s full contract)
The JT Miller trade showed that you can still get value for ok players under cap pressure

Thread: Do The Thing With Pitt - Bring on the Whining
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Ok then Ill break down this trade for you since you think I'm over valuing Letang. Why would it make sense to trade the pens best defenseman when their blue line is already awful for Zaitsev, who is not close to being a good replacement, a 1st rounder that carries no value to pittsburgh since they never draft in the 1st round, and Kapanen, a winger that they already traded and needs a new contract and the pens do not have the money to pay that? To get certain players, teams need to overpay. Letang is one of those players. Really not a hard concept to understand</div></div>

Bruh, leafs fans opinion on Zaitsev switched from someone who should be kidnapped and buried in Siberia to the most underrated RHD in the NHL the instance the trade rumor started. I don't think you can win an argument. By the way, Letang should only be traded for a young D and a top prospect; if the offer isn't there, it'll be stupid to move him
