Perfect Winger/Center
Dale Tallon would be fired on the spot if he made that trade. Florida receives NOTHING of substance for their best player. Can we trade Carl Hagelin and Tom Kuhnhackl for McDavid too?
Florida isn't moving Trocheck, and if they were, you can likely expect Guentzel or Maatta needing to be included in the deal to have a shot, along with a high pick and a prospect like Sprong or Jarry.

Yeah, and those wingers we are loaded with are all RWs.....Hornqvist, Kessel, Rust, Sprong. After Guentzel on LW, there is nobody that has any consistency in producing. Sheary? Nope. Hagelin? Nope. ZAR? Still unproven. Tommy Kuhnhackl? HAHAHAHAH. LW is a huge need for this team.

Penguins 2018-19
Sorry, I don't think simply bringing in Chris Tanev is going to magically win this team the Cup. A lot more needs to be done. That 4th line is an absolute downgrade from what the Penguins had this season. This isn't nearly enough change, Sprong is going to be on the team next year, guys like Rowney and Jooris won't be.
Trading Sheary and Hunwick is fine, and I like the overall depth adding Tanev would bring......but the Penguins need upgrades on the wing and 4th line, with LW being the biggest need.

2018 Offseason retooling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Not trading our future and a first away for someone on the wrong side of 30 and getting out of their prime.</div></div>
It was a 2nd, not a 1st, and maybe the pick was too much. At the same time, Buffalo is never going to get to the playoffs if they go the Edmonton route of just adding/drafting a bunch of young guys without surrounding them with the right mix of veterans. Buffalo lost Evander Kane. It would be good for them to add a consistent offensive presence while waiting for some of the other guys to reach their potential. In terms of McCabe, Buffalo is likely adding Dahlin in the draft. Dahlin, Ristolainen, Scandella, Bogosian, Beaulieu, McCabe.....adding Dahlin is going to push some others further down the lineup, maybe to the point of using them to get other pieces, like a proven goal scorer who just had his best season point total, and doesn't miss games.

blockbuster deal
Even if these deals were fair for both sides, a team that has gone 18-8-1 in its past 27 games isn't trading NINE PLAYERS off of its active roster. NOT HAPPENING. This team is clicking and needs a few tweaks in attempt to 3-peat, not a roster gutting overhaul.

Fair enough. Good feedback. Penguins could always try and deal Hunwick for a pick to someone else and then flip the pick, likely a 3rd or a 4th and a prospect, for Oduya.

Pittsburgh deadline deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ShafferPens</b></div><div>Vermette could get a 2nd with retention.
Why is Ottawa adding on salary? Makes no sense from their prospective.
Way too much for a rental in Kane. Try more like a 1st, Gustavsson, Hunwick.</div></div>
Actually, we don't even need retention on Vermette as you can see with my moves there is plenty left in cap space. Questionable if he can get a 2nd. He's a bottom line center, has some ability to play 3C. That's more 3rd round pick material.
Oduya is UFA. So is Chris Wideman. Ottawa takes on salary by replacing one of their UFA defenseman with Hunwick. His cap hit is still reasonable, but I threw in bottom 6 NHL ready prospect as well.
You also have to consider Penguins are asking to add salary on Kane. Teams don't retain salary for free. The team is also overloaded with wingers if you don't ship out Sheary in the deal. I stand by that deal, all of them really, and would likely just modify the Vermette deal to forget the 5th and the salary retention, as it isn't needed.

Upgrade 3C and top 4D
As an avid Penguins fan, the fact that someone actually wants to sign Carter Rowney to their team made me laugh uncontrollably for 5 minutes. Dude is horrible, and wouldn't upgrade anything for Buffalo. There is a reason why he is 27 and been a career minor leaguer until last year. He's decent on faceoffs, and can PK. You'll get no offense from him. He has zero skill.

Skille is a journeyman and brings nothing that Rust, Sheary or WIlson couldn't. I don't really believe in bringing in journeymen 4th liners when you have younger cheaper talent available to fill those spots.
Thorburn I get it and losing Bennet is really nothing to the Pens.</i></div></div>
Rust is in my starting lineup. Bringing in Skille AND Thorburn keeps guys like Sheary, Wilson, Kuhnhackl, Plotnikov or Porter from being counted on in the starting lineup. The difference is injuries. I'd rather have a Skille and Thorburn playing on the 4th line, and putting in Sheary, Wilson, Porter, Plotnikov, or Kuhnhackl in the lineup when an injury occurs. Otherwise, without adding Skille and Thorburn, now you've got, say, Wilson and Porter on the 4th line. Two injuries to the lineup, and you end up with a bottom 6 that includes Rust, Wilson, Porter, Sheary, and Kuhnhackl........those 5 guys ALL PLAYING at the same time is a horrible, horrible, bottom 6. One, maybe two of those guys in small doses is fine. But having to rely on 4-6 of those guys and expecting to go anywhere in the playoffs is insane. Penguins need more bottom 6 depth this year.

Non-graphical salary cap by day
Thanks for the clarification. I see the items that you pointed out, which I missed earlier. I'd still love to see a non graphical summary (on that same Daily Cap bar graph page) that shows days on NHL roster, or maybe even on the individual player page itself. You have the accumulated daily cap hit there, but adding days on NHL roster and/or daily cap charge (yearly salary divided by 182) might be helpful too.
Where I was specifically looking at was, viewing Pittsburgh Penguins specifically, the Statistics in the middle of the page had Estimated Daily Cap space at -22,000 this morning, before the callup, and now shows -722,000 after the Sundqvist callup. That is the section that throws me off.
So, now that you have pointed out that you do have most of the feature I am looking for, you guys can just relax and go on vacation the rest of the year. ;)

Big picture my friend. Skille and Thorburn aren't going to come in and put up 20 goals. But they both have speed, both play a more physical style game, and both would force guys like Kuhnhackl, Rust, Wilson, Plotnikov, and Sheary out of the lineup. I like Rust, and think he can be a solid 3rd line contributor in the future. Let's say you only make the McGinn and Polak moves. And Rust gets hurt. And Hagelin gets hurt. Your now forced to move McGinn up, and dress two of Porter, Plotnikov, Wilson, or Sheary. I'd take Skille or Thorburn over any of those 4 every day of the week. This team lacks depth, and if they don't make bottom 6 moves, they are screwed if any type of injury hits (and the injuries are already starting to pile up).

Thread:
Non-graphical salary cap by day
Hello,
I posted this via twitter, but thought the forum would be a better place: Are there any plans to more accurately track a teams salary and available cap space by using cap tracking on a daily basis?
I have a perfect example to illustrate:
Eariler this morning, the Pittsburgh Penguins showed at about -22K in cap space available. I don't believe this number to be correct, but for argument's sake, let's say it is. Later this afternoon, Evgeni Malkin was ruled out for the next two games, as well as Eric Fehr, and the Penguins recalled forward Oscar Sundqvist from the minors. You show his cap hit as 700,833. While technically, that is hit cap hit, that is his cap hit for a full season. This was Sundqvist's first callup to the NHL this season, or ever. It is impossible for him to truly account for $700,833 in cap space.
There are 186 days in an NHL season. Calculating salaries in the background on a daily basis allows you to portray a more accurate cap space amount. On a daily basis, Sundqvist cap hit amounts to $3763 per day. There are only 66 days left in the season, so if he stayed on the roster the rest of the regular season, the maximum amount of cap space he could use up would be $248,683.
This is one area CapGeek had down to a science which nobody else has perfected to date. NHLNumbers.com currently has the best attempt at this. I really like the upgrades that have happened after the merger here, and I do believe your site is the most comprehensive over all the others. Adding the daily cap hit calculations in a table format, for me, is the last major piece your site needs. And.....if you can strong-arm the NHL to force teams to publicly state players on IR versus LTIR, that would be great too. :D
Keep up the great work!

Columbus Deal That People Seem To Like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sqm918</b></div><div><i>By saying the words, "we accept this trade."</i></div></div>
Right, because Columbus would just love to give up Jenner, Savard AND Rychel for a big pile of dog poop. Savard and Jenner are good young guys with lots of upside. Rychel has a lot of potential. What is Columbus getting back in return that makes them want to do this???? Bennett????? Erixon and Wilson are nothing special, and Lovejoy is a bottom pairing defenseman. This is about as lopsided of a trade that I have seen.

Boedker is an RFA. Not sure how we could acquire him, as we don't have the picks to sign an offer sheet. You can't just sign somebody else's RFAs.
Tikhonov is already signed by Chicago, so....he can't be signed either.
Detroit is within 100K of the cap, so, even as a deadline deal, Sutter for Kindl may not even work financially for them.

The Best Top Nine in the League
Florida has ZERO use for Spaling. They've got at least 7 guys on the wings that are better than him. They have no need for bottom 6 guys. Trading Sutter to get Semin is a gross overpayment. A swap for Scuderi, or Scuderi and a pick should be plenty for Semin. Not Sutter. There is recent talk of Greiss returning, but there is ZERO reason to give him a raise over last year. If anything, a paycut would be in order. I don't think they would bring Tikhonov in to be a 4th liner. He's better than that.

Florida has no need for Kunitz. They are already overloaded with top-9 wingers with Jagr, Jokinen, Boyes, Huberdeau, Hayes, Pirri, and Trocheck. And no team is giving up two draft picks for Chris Kunitz. A 3rd is fair and about the best you will get.
The JVR trade is a flat out joke. What is Toronto getting in return? If Toronto moves JVR, or even Kessel, they are going to want a player that they can build around or at least be a significant piece to their team. You traded a 36 year old defenseman and a 3rd line center for a top 6 wing, another player, and a pick???????
