My two cents on Chairot: He was a depth defenseman in Winnipeg. Was thrust into the top pairing with Weber due to the fact that we just didn't have anybody else to put there. I thought at the beginning of the year he did have nights where he looked a little lost, he has said so himself. After he got use to the system we play and to his new team mates I thought in the second half of the season he was our best LD. Do I think that we should settle with him being our best LD, absolutely not, at best he is a solid #4/5 guy. That is why in many of my AGM teams I have tried to make a move to strengthen our LD now, not wait 3 to 4 years for are prospects to get there. But simply moving him out the door because he is of no use is not the correct path forward IMO. He will be a place holder until one of the young guys is ready or if we do make a trade to improve.

Thread: Flat cap no CBO -- trade with MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>The way I see it, it may still be below value simply taking the Marleau trade as comparison with a few others in the past as well like the Bickell trade and the Datsyuk trade notably. Ericksson's got two more years as opposed to the one for Marleau and the Habs are sending back Mete which is a decent young player in his own right. I feel if Mete is going to be going back, Hab's would need something else added here to bridge the gap.

Just from a market standpoint, that Marleau trade was when the market was good, getting better every year and without exterior factors being in play. As it stands right now, the cap is stagnant, will be staying stagnant for a while and a ton of teams have lost money. The amount of teams that need to cap dump has risen this year compared to previous years which only adds to the market value for dumping contracts.

I think not only will there be less teams willing to take on massive cap dumps but the amount of teams that will need/want to dump cap has risen. If we could associate a value to X dollar/cap being dumped, what ever that is, its higher than in past years. Its gonna be real tough to move salary/cap this year and maybe next so its really gonna hurt the teams that have to do it.

In all honesty, I think Van will have to resort to simply not resigning guys like Markstrom or any free agents like Demelo, coupled with a strategically placed buyout of Ferland. IMO this will hurt less than all the cap dumping they'd do to make space for EP and Hughes.</div></div>

Completely agree, getting teams to actually take on a cap dump in this current environment is going to be very difficult and the cost will go up significantly...IMO
