Thread: Faq it
For what it's worth, AFP Analytics has made predictions for both long term and bridge deal contracts for Vlasic. Long term they have him at $4.7M x 6 years, and short term they have him at $2.5M x 3 years. Their predictions aren't usually too far off. $6 is probably too much unless he puts up like 30 points over the remainder of the season. Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to making this bet and locking him in early, but I doubt KD does it.

However, contrary to <a href="/users/V123" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@V123</a>, the contract isn't ideal, but atrocious is way too strong of a word. Everyone is used to current AAV's, but with the Covid escrow being paid off and the cap taking big jumps over the next handful of years, players and their agents will be asking for a larger piece of the pie, and $5-6M will probably become the new $4-4.5M in the very near future.

Thread: Rumor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>Kaliyev - 41 - 6 - 8 - 14
Raddysh - 52 - 5 - 6 - 11

You would seriously give up a 2nd round pick for those three extra points while playing on a much better team?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Maybe slightly worse offensively, but Raddysh is an effective PKer too which is a valuable thing. Plus, he put up 20 goals last year, which tells me he is having a down year on an awful team, but I'd be willing to bet he can do it again, or at least get to somewhere in the middle.</div></div>

It's more about upside and age. Kaliyev has never had an opportunity in the LA top 6, is a couple years younger, and has a ridiculous shot. He has much more raw talent than Raddysh. Maybe a 2nd is too high a price, but we know KD is trying to move off some picks if possible, I can see something like this happening.

Thread: Just playing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Trade wouldn't happen for a few reasons, but even if it did Dallas wouldn't be the team adding in the trade. Between the fact that the remainder of Seguin's deal is half as long as Jones' and the fact that he's still an extremely viable middle-6 center &amp; powerplay forward, Dallas wouldn't be the team that needs to add, much less adding Stankoven AND a 1st Round Pick.</div></div>

I wouldn't describe Seguin as "extremely viable". He is having a good start to the season following a bunch of very mediocre seasons. If we also consider his age, I'd bet he comes back down to earth long before his contract is up. That said, Seguin has all the control and I doubt he would allow this trade, I also think, considering his past, that CHI would not want to add another controversy or misconduct waiting to happen, to their roster. But, from the perspective of what DAL's speculated needs are and creating the cap space, a Jones for Seguin trade makes sense. With the firepower DAL has, they won't miss Seguin's point production at all. CHI has no reason to add in that scenario, and the fact that Seguin would, in no way, be part of CHI's future plans and is likely unflippable, makes it all the less appealing to CHI. The entire hypothetical scenario is there to address DAL's need for RHD. Also, before CHI traded for Jones, DAL was a very interested party, and it's Jones hometown.

Stankoven is definitely untouchable, though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Here is what you said word for word......."CHI could just offer sheet Laf at $4.2M and only give up their 2024 2nd round pick, if ya'll like that better. Good luck matching, too, it's certainly doable, but not without it's sacrifices". Not a childish treat you say? Take our crappy trade offer or else....like an 8 year old. You going to take your ball and go home too? Grow up.</div></div>

lol. What about that isn't hypothetical and isn't exactly what I just laid out to you multiple times? I'm not the one reading way too far into things and getting offended over nothing. I honestly don't even care, at this point I'm just having fun keeping this going so I can watch you freak out and grasp at straws. But, would you maybe just take a step back for a second and consider the possibility that you read that with the entirely wrong tone in your head...
