Thread: Big Swinging Ducks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div>The cap isn't going up though</div></div>

I should have mentioned, I raised the cap to simulate the LTIR cushion they get from Kesler's cap hit.

I think <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I'm an Anaheim guy and that trade is riotously bad for the Maple Leafs.

Kesler is of no real value to you, but let's suppose he is. Kesler = Hollowell.
Backes has one year left in him and is our fourth-line center. You have a better alternative in Gauthier. Backes (who can't be put on the LTIR) = Bracco.
Getzlaf has two years left in him (maybe), and a NMC. Getzlaf = 2022 second.
Rowney is an excellent fourth-line RW. Rowney = 2022 third.
Manson is a good RD. Manson = Dermott.

So in my opinion you're overpaying by Kerfoot and a first-round pick.</div></div>

I think you undervalue Getzlaf, if Anaheim keeps half his salary he will easily get a Player, Pick, Prospect at the deadline or sooner. He's a big centre, who can still go reasonably well, and has playoff experience.
Backes is just a CBO, Anaheim is not the richest team so that has value for them.
Manson is well liked by Anaheim, so it would take a bit to get him, but apparently he's liked by Dubas.
Kesler is just for the LTIR Cushion
