Thread: 24-25 Sharks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redboi</b></div><div>Fair. My thought process: The Jets could be looking to resign a bunch of their acquired UFAs as well (Monahan, Toffolli) or even another top UFA with that money. I thought we could get a first looking at the Monahan trade, trade away a piece that’s a negative asset at 6 million dollars for a 1st two years (that could have conditions) down the line. Probably a bit unrealistic tho looking back.</div></div>

The way I look at it is that Schmidt has a value of -$1.1 million ($4.9 millon market value minus $6 million contract [The Athletic calcs]). Compensation for eating $1.1 million for one year would be the #68 overall pick according to PuckPedia's calculator.

I could see them trying to sign Monahan but Toffoli is probably too expensive in terms of dollars and term.

Thread: Dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Robinho3799</b></div><div>No chance in this world, that LA is going to retain a total of $17,500,000 over 7 years for dumping PLD. They better give him the chance for a full season to play with to solid wingers (this season he mainly played with Anderson-Dolan and Laferriere). Anderson-Dolan, sorry to say, was not really NHL level and Laferriere did not have a bad season, but his first NHL year. So it's a tough line to start to play with in your first year with a new team.
Of course PLD performed well under expactations, but this needs to be considered. If PLD can play a full season with a guy like Arvidsson and another solid winger, I am sure his numbers will look different next year, even when he centers the 3rd line.
Kings shoud have also no interest in the package, especially not in Davorak and Primeau. I find it interesting that you don't believe in Primeau. How then could he improve a contending team?
Also: You would offer Cam Talbot §3,500,000 for two years? I mean he's great this season (and gladly healthy) but don't forget that he's turning 38 before the next season starts.</div></div>

To add to this, trading Dubois (especially with retention) would be Blake admitting he made a huge mistake. GMs have alot of pride.
