Thread: Trades with VAN FLA STL BUF PIT - thoughts
Pretty good trades to me. The only ones I don't think would work are the Vancouver and Pitt ones. That 3rd year of Lucic's contract is the issue for them I think, otherwise some sort of deal would have been worked out already. It's right as they are starting to seriously contend and kids will need to be paid; 6 mill is a lot of dead cap if they get into a Toronto situation in the future. Pitt must contend with their core in the 30s. If they move those guys its for fresh faces with similar ability. Prospects/picks won't help Crosby in the near future.

Russell/Pysyk are similar but the pick needs to go the other way for cap hits, Blues have no incentive to retain on Allen, and Risto is miscast at a #1 but can score on PP and is just 24 so he can be refined still. It would take a decent add to Larsson to get him.
