Thread: Cap space for trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alex07</b></div><div>And also, Montreal would NEVER give up a first just to get rid of Byron's contract. You don't know Bergevin at all if you think that it's going to happen in real life.</div></div>

Then you keep him. Tampa is likely going to have to pay at least a 1st to get rid of Tyler Johnson. Very useful player but another 3 years at 5m is brutal for what he brings. It’s the exact same with Byron. He can be a useful player but 2 years at 3.4m is brutal as well.

Ottawa took a one year 3.4m cap dump from Tampa last year in Paquette and Coburn. Tampa paid them a 2nd (and took back two ltir contracts). You’re sending 3.4m twice. The baseline should be two 2nds. A late 1st is close to equal value to two 2nds and I agree with OP that a 1st would get someone interested.

But again, if you’re not willing to pay the going price then you keep him and his bloated contract.

Thread: Opening Night
Komarov has one year left at 3m and would likely cost a 2nd to dump.

Hickey has one year left at 2.5m. I’m not a big Bode Wilde fan but lets say he’s worth around a 3rd and he’s used to get the Sens to take Hickey on.

Ladd has two years left at 5.5m per year. That’s an 11m cap dump. Mayfield is okay but he did average just under 20 mins/game the last two years so he likely does have some value on that contract. Because the contract isn’t bad, I’m not sure the Isles would be interested in moving him but is he worth taking on Ladd’s contract?? I’d say no and not even close.

Id pass on the deal. Ottawa’s taking on 16.5m in cap dumps and only getting a 2nd, a B prospect and a bottom 4RD.


**Edit: Also the Sens are giving up Zaitsev for free?? He had a great year. He’s probably 1.5-2m overpaid but he’s useful to the team and plead carved out a role that he plays well. I’m not sure if you view him as a cap dump or something but there’s no reason to dump him when the team isn’t worried about the cap….
