Thread: Dvorak for Zaitsev negative value for negative value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>The value of nearly 5 million in cap in 24-25 exceeds the difference in value between Zaitsev and Dvorak.

Montreal does not have much cap flexibility over the next few years. It gets them out of Dvorak a year earlier.

Zaitsev, despite being the worse player, would also be easier to move next season. Once his signing bonus is paid, he will only be owed 2.5M against a 4.5M cap hit, and it will be the final year of his deal. Multiple rebuilding teams would likely take that contract for a 2nd round pick.

If Montreal can get a 2nd or 3rd round pick out of Ottawa for the negative value swap of contracts, pay the bonus Zaitsev is owed on July 1st 2023, and then flip Zaitsev with a 2nd round pick to Arizona, Chicago, Buffalo, etc - they essentially would get out of the Dvorak contract 2 years early at no cost to them asset wise.</div></div>

At the end of the year, Dadonov, Drouin, Byron , Mohanan and Schueneman will left. Above 20 millions for signing Caufield , Harris and Pezzetta

I think Habs will be alright by keeping Dvorak who can still be useful
