<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gregb569</b></div><div>Why wouldn't NYR just OS Cirelli instead and save assets?</div></div>

Offer sheet depends on Cirelli actually agreeing to sign it, which he might not want to do. Also costs us 3 draft picks next year, which isn’t the end of the world, but in my proposal we actually unload two guys that I think the organization should want to move. Howden sucks but the coaching staff loves him and Lias might actually have a future as a bottom 6 forward if he can get his head and ass wired back together properly but right now he’s the black sheep of the organization. Jones is emerging as a nice 2nd or 3rd pairing LHD (some call him the left handed Adam Fox which I am the first to be very cautious of buying that kind of hype) but it’s a position of strength in the organization. Also if we make a trade vs an offer sheet, we could possibly have more leverage in negotiation if the organization prefers trying to bridge Cirelli vs going long term. Obviously he would never sign a bridge style offer sheet, but once we own his rights, we have more leverage.
Tampa might prefer to take back known assets (two former first round picks and an emerging prospect) rather than 3 draft picks for Cirelli - given their cap crunch they obviously don’t want to lose the guy but might decide it’s the best outcome in a bad situation.

The LD is already " bad " and you want to play Gardiner on his off-side when he can't even defend on his strong side...

The CAR trade is one-sided for NJ.

I started this before Elvis got his extension. Blackwood is rfa without arbitration, so I had him lower. He will get more than I did above, I agree.

They have defense prospects and didn’t want to block them. I could see them take on a guy like Gardiner. The trade seems lopsided but I actually proposed it from a Carolina side as a way for them to save some cap space and they would probably be happy to move out Gardiner.

Yeah, I hate the devils but I didn’t try to be “biased” but I also didn’t pour hours into every one of these. Calm down, hoss.

Because they’re way under the cap I didn’t do a CBO but Schneider is the guy if they use it.
