Thread: Next Year Rangers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vermathex</b></div><div>couldnt it also be that there wasn't many team that would take on the cap. Outside of detroit and possibly ottawa(cheap owner) no one else had the space. Now you add NYR and seattle to the mix and the price of getting them off the books could lower.</div></div>

I don't think Benning was interested in trading picks unless the price was right. Sure it solves some short-term problems by having more money available but once you get to the likes of JT, Boeser, Bo needing extensions the team will be depending on their draft picks and younger prospects to stay under the cap. A good example is CHI when they ran into cap problems after winning multiple cups, they had to let go of players like Big Buff, Panarin, Saad

Benning has come so far in being patient and not panicking to trade way LE for picks. I don't think he'll 'cave' now that he's in his last year.

Outside of VP, Lind, Rathbone, the Canucks don't have a whole lot in the farm.

Thread: Slow rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnalyticalGM</b></div><div>I was of the understanding one defensemen must be exposed who is under contract 2021-22 and has played at least 27 NHL games this year or 54 NHL games last two years
With that the Preds can expose Boro or Benning with the Top4 protected.

So it seems Carrier/Allard will be under the exposure requirements but can still be selected during the expansion draft.

It would be interesting if NSH doesn't move Ellis or Ekholm if they protect Josi, Ellis, Ekholm, Fabbro, Carrier, Forsberg, Arvidsson, Kunin, Saros
Let Seattle pick between Johansen, Duchene, Jarnkrok, Sissons, Trenin (and Allard, Jeannot, Pitlick,) It will be another tough expansion draft for the Preds</div></div>

Yeah the wording isn't the best.
I assume if NAS goes with the 7/3 format, they'll go Josi, Ellis and Fabbro. Assuming they'll trade Ekholm at TDL or off-season

NAS at this moment meets the minimum exposure requirements. Again in that unlikely scenario where they trade away all those d-men, they would need just one d-man not named Josi to be considered LEGAL.

Thread: Slow rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnalyticalGM</b></div><div>Tolvanen is exempt from Expansion draft. Carrier is 12 games away from being exposed (injury could be a blessing in disguise)

This doesnt really help the youth enter the lineup nor does it free up cap space.</div></div>

Don't think you understand the expansion rules. Carrier is NOT exempt, therefore he is exposed (his games played doesn't matter). Carrier has played more than two seasons of pro hockey in North America (AHL/NHL). Theoretically, if the Predators happened to trade or terminate Ellis, Ekholm, Borowiecki, Benning and Fabbro from their team prior to the Expansion Draft. That would be considered ILLEGAL.
Teams must expose 1 defensemen for SEA to pick. Josi can not be selected because he has a NMC.
Sbisa, Carrier, Allard, Lewington, and Harpur can be selected but the Predators must expose at least one defensemen with the minimum games played (Ellis/Ekholm/Boro/Benning/Fabbro)

If we want to be completely accurate, guys like Sbisa don't have a contract for 2021-22 so he's ineligible to be selected

Thread: Ideal moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Thats a massive overpay for Pearson. His comparables from last seasons deadline only got mid round picks, 3rd to 5ths. Expecting a 2nd and a prospect is pretty unreasonable when he's not worth either one alone.</div></div>

I don't think its that far off. Pearson's numbers this year disappointing for sure. But he did record 45 points in 69 games last year.
Last year the Canucks acquired Toffoli for Madden + 2nd. Madden is considered a very good prospect.
Now if the Canucks retain on Pearson's salary and given the position TOR is in and their all-in mentality, I think clubs are willing to take a chance. With the current landscape of the playoff picture, there are quite a few teams in the hunt specifically in the Central and West.
Supply is low when it comes to teams that will be sellers ATM.

And just to add to that Toffoli had decent numbers prior the TDL. Averaging a little over 0.5 ppg

Thread: Sutter In
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tarlam01</b></div><div>Bad contract? 2m is a bargain compared to a lot of your guys rn. Might just take what you could have for Sutter and try moving a guy like Beagle to a tyeam this summer (With only 1 year left to his contract I'm sure someone will be interested like tbh as a habs fan I'd take him if it wasn't for his 3m contract)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>You're making my point. We already have enough bad contracts and can't afford Turris or Khaira. Also agree that Beagle might be tradeable.

Would rather retain 50% of Sutter this year than take any contracts for next</div></div>

Agreed with sedin33. Give us some cheap expiring contracts and we'll even eat up some of Sutter for a 2nd round pick.
