Thread: Chicago blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tylerstenson</b></div><div>firstly ill say, I dont think theres any scenario that involves Kane and Toews being moved at this time. Maybe next year at deadline if they are truly out of it, and the guys want to chase another cup. If it were to happen, I struggle to see what the Hawks would even want back from the leafs, especially knowing how valuable 10M of retention is. Would be one of the biggest trade hauls of all time.</div></div>

Yeah part of the reason I thought of this was trying to figure out what Chicago is trying to do. I was thinking Trading toews and Kane by this deadline may return the assets do a quick retool and come out the other side while Jones still has some good (ish lol) contract years left.

Again though, you are right in saying they’d need more than just Mitch Marner to pull it off.

Thread: Parallel Universe- Hyman Signed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RKLW</b></div><div>If Seattle did select Kerfoot add McCann back to the team, but regardless even if we had Hyman still I wouldn't want him at that term, not to mention there's know way to tell if he'd even being doing as good as he is with the Oilers... if you call what's he's doing so far with them "good". I see Kerfoot and McCann being basically the same player skill level wise, MaCann probably has the edge, but probably not a big enough one.</div></div>

I think in this parallel universe, Toronto never trades for McCann, meaning there’s cap space to keep Hyman. It’s trading kerfoot and Ritchie for Hyman and Toronto’s 4th round pick.

I don’t know enough to tell if this is an equitable trade or not, I don’t think Hyman would have 5 goals in 5 games playing for the leafs.

Thread: If I was GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarcBergevin69</b></div><div>EDM would give players back. Also Petry hadn't signed that extension yet. At the time, I think EDM would've actually went for something like this. Mcdavid might've been closer to a cup.</div></div>

It’s true Edmonton may have been inclined to do this, but at the time, Edmonton was right up against the cap. You’re talking about $10.8M worth of players, so even if you retain half ($5.4m), you also have to take on $5.4m in players. Are you willing to take James Neal? Kris Russell and another $1.5m player? Kassian had just been signed to an extension and Koskinen was running a .917 sv% so neither of them are options.

How much would it cost for you to take these players? And would Edmonton pay that? The trade is already costing 2 first round picks for players with only 1 year of additional term.

Sorry for going into depth, but the site is called CAPfriendly. Besides, how realistic of a fake GM do you want to be.
