Thread: Trades with WPG, SJS, TOR, NSH, and TBL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyOwl14</b></div><div>In order to make the money work, could NYR take Callahan's contract in that trade? That would seem more reasonable in my ears. TB gets a star d-man and NYR gets very promising one and a winger who has had great history with them before. This way NYR doesn't have to retain any of McDonagh's salary, of course.</div></div>

That's a tough one. I made another armchair gm and it seemed like it could work assuming Chytil and Andersson are ready next year, along with resigning all RFAs. With Callahan, it left about 6 million in cap, assuming cap rises to 78 million. So it's probably doable capwise, but not sure if Rangers would win trade anymore. Lightning give up an elite prospect and offload contract for a first pair D. Might have to add a pick.

You realize except for jaskin sundqvist and Edmundson most expiring deals aren’t deserving of pay raises. Statsny isn’t getting all of his 7 million back, and brodziak and upshall aren’t getting any more money in their mid 30s, assuming their spot does not get taken by a prospect like Thompson. Sundqvist jaskin edmundson don’t get that much more than they are already making. Neither does Hutton. And bouwmeester and gunnarson have a year left, which has a big hit on cap and will clear lots of space since both are in 30s and will not get the same amount of money they make now. So technically they could have the space.

At the very least, 2 cup runs with an excellent defender at a good cap hit that can put this team over the top. If that trade has to be modified to fit that, so be it. But that’s still going to cost a lot no matter how you slice it. Good players don’t come cheap.
