Thread: Saw This Trade From A Canucks Fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>It works for the Wings because it doesn't work for VAN. Don't think a true fan suggested this.

IMO, we are best to just wait one more year before trying to deal Loui.

Staal cost a 2nd to move, so realistically Loui shouldn't cost more than a pair of 2nds. This is more value than a pair of 2nds coming back with him.</div></div>

Ahem, I bet your pardon good sir!

I pitched this based on the premise that VAN re-signs Markstrom, making Demko a realistic trade chip to move Eriksson. I included the often-rumoured-on-the-move Virtanen as a way of avoiding having to include other picks in the deal, something Benning said he’d rather not do. I also think the value is pretty well in line with what it’ll take to move Loui; it won’t be cheap.

Thread: Nice Easy Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TWOminutes4surging</b></div><div>Dougie's $5.75M + Semin's $2.33M = $8M for Hamilton
Svech's $.925k + McGinn's $2.1 + Martinook's $2M + 1/2 of Skjei's $5.25M = $7.65 for Svechnikov's bridge deal
Laine's $6.75M + $1.25 from Skjei = $8M for Laine

That leaves $3.5M for McGinn and Martinook replacements. We get 2 good runs at the cup, then the real dilemma comes the following season. Needing to sign Necas and a goalie. But this all fantasy..</div></div>

That doesn't work though. Next season you have a roster size of 13 with ~$25.5m in cap space to spend on 10 players. If you spend $8m + $8m + ~$7.5m on those 3, you are already at $23.5m spent. So you would only have around $2m to add 7 players... And also, the Hamilton and Laine deals would be pay cuts and you'd better hope Svech takes a bridge deal.

This is a 1-year team -- but man, this is a very good 1-year team that could win a cup (though that Mikheyev deal gets matched easily).
