Thread: Is this enough to dump Johnson
let's just do some math, 3.25x3 cap hit=9.75 mil, he will likely be buried by any sane team trading for him, that frees up 1.05×3=3.15, and 9.75-3.15=6.6 mil (=2.2x3), now that's pretty close to the 6.25 dead cap from the Marleau dump (which I remind you was considered a drastic overpay at the time, so say that cancels out some of the COVID cap stagnation issues) and I also would like to remind you that teams generally find it much easier to take on a smaller cap hit for a longer period of time, than a larger one for a short time (buying out players) so that should be more than enough to cancel out the 450k extra total cap dump, now yes, that doesn't take away from his 8.25 salary, but that shouldn't affect teams all that much in bigger markets (DET, SJS if they can get some team to take one of their albatross contracts, LAK, even NJD)

Or just sell him to Jim Benning bc muh GRIT

Thread: oilers and pens are discussing a trade with murray
While I do agree that a lot of Pens fans seem to overrate Murray, but there are just as many if not more non-Pens fans that underrate him. It has been discussed ad nauseum that Larsson alone isn't enough to get Murray and now it sounds like there is a bit of a bidding war for him. I think the value for Murray will land somewhere in the 2 2nd's or a 2nd and a 3rd/4th range. Considering that at this point Larsson would likely get a 2nd, this offer isn't too far off.

I agree though that Calgary should be one of the top places for Murray to go. The issue here is that I don't think Calgary has the perfect D man to send to Pitt but they do have the perfect 3rd line centre. But then the issue there is that Calgary fans really don't want to trade Bennett.

I think when a trade finally happens for Murray, both sides of this debate are going to be surprised and both sides won't like it.
