<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian_O_Blivion</b></div><div>I know this is a fantasy site but lets at least pretend to have a shred of realism in our trades. Obviously SJ doesn’t retain nearly 30 mil to help the Avs with their depth issues.</div></div>

Didn't read the description did ya

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matthias893</b></div><div>Its a really great return for Hertl, but its quite a bit more than a lot of retention. I have a hard time imagining San Jose doing 4m in dead cap for *seven* years. That extends well beyond our rebuild timeline. Not saying its impossible, but retaining millions on Karlsson is already looking like a hard sell and that's only 4 years.</div></div>

They still have 4 years of rebuilding left and by then the cap will go up. Like I fully get that its a massive level of retention but I don't think it matters as much as people think it will because if SJ is capped out at any point in the next 5 years then they likely did something very stupid.

Thread: newhook
- Once VAN locked in Miller to term any path that had them moving a win now player for futures became a lot less likely. Imo its far more likely they keep him and he walks for nothing than they trade him given where they are at (although the most likely is that they just give him a huge contract like everyone else).

- Also rentals don't get that type of return, and retention on rentals doesn't have any effect on the value, its simply a tool to make the trade compliant.

- Finally COL wouldn't have interest in trading a long term asset for a player they couldn't keep long term. If they were able to afford the next deal Bo gets then Kadri would still be on the team and all of this would be irrelevant. I could see a 1st + a smaller prospect as a pure rental if Van REALLY ****s the bed but again for the reasons above I don't think that situation is likely

Thread: Griers Plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zuki9797</b></div><div>i wonder if grier has any plans to get rid of some of the bigger contracts. namely vlasic. would cost a LOT but i wonder if he'd have the guts to pay to get rid of him to somewhere that would take him. probably a rebuilding team like ARZ alongside a few picks

overall i think this could be a solid plan, although i think that a couple more guys (nutivaara, hill if they can get a goalie who can play games, maybe lorentz) might be moved too</div></div>

His biggest problem will be the nutjob owner who wants to 'win now'. This is such an impossible market to move out cap space there is no way it would be worth the cost. Plus even if he did unless there is something to use it on right away then its kind of moot.

Its just really difficult because what the owner wants to do will likely be impossible.
