Thread: ekblad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>nice! i mean you do dump kulak in the ekblad trade so there *is* a cap dump here

tbh i would love to see edmonton do that though. run a 22 man roster with 9 AHL players on it? would make things easier for van to wint the division</div></div>

9 AHL players? Did you even open up the ACGM? It's virtually the exact same roster that the Oilers are icing right now (except swapping Kulak for Ekblad), you know, the one that's on a 8 game win streak and has the best record in the NHL over the last 25 games. The only AHL call ups were Rodrigue (who has the 2nd highest sv% of any AHL goalie), and Broberg (who is playing pretty well right now).

Now I'm not saying the Oilers should trade for Ekblad, they shouldn't, and he won't be availabe anyways. But It's okay to admit you weren't aware of Edmonton's cap situation!

Thread: Just a thought VAN weigh in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>i dig it, but im not super stoked on retaining an extra year on kuzy. any way this could be revamped to remove the kuzy retention? like maybe remove the retention from kuzy and toffoli? cap hit change satys the same but van doesnt get a $1,000,000 penalty next seasn</div></div>

Yah of course, you can ignore the salary retention stuff. I should have been more clear. The retention on Kuzy is based on the idea that we run this trade through a 3rd party team (I mention Chicago) to have them retain the same 1 mil on VV. Both Kuzy and VV have 1 more year after this, so for you guys, the retention is basically a wash. It's just a way to help the devils deal with the cap hit of Kuzy next year. I tried to design it in a way that wouldn't really hurt Vancouver.

But yes, I'd take what you are offering. I'm mostly looking at the overall trade, so fine to put aside the retention aspects of it.

Thanks!
