Thread: VAN ARI Pick Scenario and Cap Dumps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RebelCoach</b></div><div>I'm interested in that VAN cap situation. As a Devil fan, I would love to make that deal, I feel like DET does it for slightly cheaper or gives up a bit to get that 1st round pick.

Whether VAN gives up the 1st in 2020 or 2021, it doesn't matter.

Goligoski has more value than it would be seen as a toxic deal from ARI. Some team would pay for him. Likely would have to take on Grabner as a toxic deal to bring the cost down to something ARI is giving away.</div></div>

If I'm the Vancouver GM and we just lost the qualifying round and had to lose our 21 unprotected first, I would probably make whatever deal necessary to re-sign Markstrom to avoid an unlucky or disastrous year. Even a young talented team like theirs could collapse if Demko doesn't succeed right away. The Devils just saw their season go down the tubes in a month with shoddy goaltending.

I like the idea of having a veteran LHD on a short term deal to pair with Severson on the first pair, maybe bringing back Andy Greene. That is why I took a shot at Goligoski. If the Devils are willing to move on from Will Butcher for decent value (late second) they could fit in a return with Grabner. (He may not want to waive his NTC to come, but generally they waive it these days.)
