Thread: The Nylander Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>Lot's to unpack here. For starters buch is under control for 2 seasons at a cheap rate and we will need that cap space. Second he will most likely be cheaper than Nylander and don't think the blues want to deal with the headache of getting Nylander an extension after Nylander sat out half a season to get the contract he wants. Also the blues wanted to move Krug because he is not worth his cap hit. They wanted to bring in Sanheim to play with Parayko. Nowhere has it been stated by blues writers that the blues want to move Parayko. Teams have called to see if he is available but he is the defensemen they want to keep the most. They have been trying to move other defensemen to get a partner for Parayko so they can bump Leddy down to the 2nd pair. So getting Brodie for Parayko doesn't really help them now and since Brodie is 33 he isn't going to be much help in 2-3 years when the blues aim to compete. If the blues trade Parayko it will either be for a younger defensemen or they are tearing it down and rebuilding from the bottom because he is too valuable to the blues in the minutes and role he plays. Basically it's a trade that doesn't fit the blues needs now or in the future roster wise or cap space wise</div></div>

Okay thanks for the explanation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>You want a PPG 3 zone winger for 2 2nds and think that's good value for the Blues?

Lets not get into the part where what you had stated in terms of us needing cap space is objectively false.

We don't need cap space, and Buchnevich is not being traded for 2 picks around 55 60 lol.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>But the Blues are not in a worse cap crunch than the Rangers. We have 18 already signed so we need 4-5 more players. We need to re-sign Toropchenko, Brown, Perunovich, and Tucker who are all coming off of injury riddled seasons or their entry level contracts. All of them will probably sign under a million each. Our backup goaltender is already signed to a 2 year 775K deal. We will still have 2-3 million left with a full roster next year. Don't know where you are getting that the blues are in a cap crunch. Plus our GM said we aren't competing next year and don't plan to sign FA. We have plenty of cap space next year</div></div>



A very funny thing lost in all of this (true) analysis about Buchnevich's value and the Blues' cap situation is that this ACGM is one of objectively bad cap management.

Poster claims a team that isn't in cap hell is in cap hell in order to justify getting one of that teams best players for nothing, and then proceeds to construct a roster that is a man short because getting that player for nothing has put them in cap hell. If it's not trolling, it's a truly impressive display of irony even for Capfriendly.
