<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Yes. They could do a lot of things. Whats your point? Right now, they could not add Petry. If they trade the entire team away to make it work, yeah then things obviously change.

The crux of the point was that Vegas would have to make some additional changes to an already tight team just to make this work. Not to mention not be able to sign Gusev if they were still interested in doing so.</div></div>

Yes, theoretically any team could offer sheet Marner for $10 million and move salaries. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm offering a fix to the trade that is simple to make it under the cap. All they do is add Holden to the deal or ship him to a 3rd team. Nothing crazy or pie in the sky about it.

BTW, not my proposal. I don't think this trade would happen. I dont think it actually makes the most sense for either side, but Mtl specifically.

Thread: Deadline deal with NJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>1,000 reasons this deal wouldn't happen....here are a few...

(1) If NJD is in playoff running, Hall would undoubtedly stay.
(2) NJD has Hischier, Hughes up the middle...but I guess Hughes could go to a wing.
(3) Hall is not a center...is LW.
(4) NJD would not deal their future goalie for a short-term back-up (if they did, there would have to be another piece going back to NJD)
(5) 1.5 years of Zack Smith has little value
(6) NJD would want at least Mark Stone return if they are dealing Hall with extension (ie Adam Boqvist, mid-6 forward, pick)</div></div>

1) I dont think Hall undoubtedly wants to stay in NJ. Lots of risk losing him for nothing.
2) Hughes 1 Strome 2 Hischier 3. What's the problem there?
3) Hall is a LW, but can play center. He's played there before.
4) Is Blackwood really the future? If, so that's sad. However, if he is a not tradeable, then just pull him from the deal. Chicago doesn't need him in this deal as they have Delia to be the backup.
5) Smith being included is to do the deal and keep Chicago under the cap. He admittedly has very little value.
6) Stone deal wasn't all that huge. I would say Strome is every bit as valuable, actually more, than Brannstrom. This deal is way better return than Brannstrom, Oscar F'ing Lindberg, and a 2nd.
