Thread: Would This Be Legal
In theory, at least as far as the CBA is concerned, it could all work. The Zaitsev deal would be a legal circumvention of the salary cap, but I can't see why the Leafs would want him back, or why a team would be willing to eat 50% of his salary unless we tossed up a big asset as well. I don't think that'd be worth it for the Leafs, since I believe they can find a way to just trade him, without having to give up an additional asset. As for Marner, the only downfall here would be trust. He would have to trust the Leafs that they would sign him to whatever they had orally agreed to this summer. Additionally, I do not believe they could sign him to that 8-year extension until January 1, 2020. On the chance he has a miserable start to the 2019-20 season, why would the Leafs not use that against him to bring his price down? Yes, I get there needs to be loyalty and trust between team and player, but this is also a business. Signing him this offseason, I think you can get it done for Kucherov money.

Thread: Trade with StLouis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Pretty much. I prefer this:

Blues fans say yes. Toronto fans say too much for Petro. Other fans say not enough for Petro. Weird arguments about age curves and cap-structures ensue. Neither team does the trade IRL.</div></div>

For Toronto it is way to much to give up for 1.5 years of Petro. I would say this deal for parayko is close to fair but Lilly seems like a better candidate for the prospect. I also don’t think Parayko is moved whether it’s a good deal or not. Would have to be a massive overpay.

I think if you go kappy a lesser prospect like Rasanen the first and a conditional first for re sign that seems like fair value for petro if blues want zaitsev (I like zaitsev he is about a million over paid but is solid defensively and would pair perfectly with dunn) I would put I’m in the trade as well. Toronto could also just trade him in the off-season for a 3rd or less.

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Jean-Gabriel Pageau (3 Years / $3,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>icehawk2006</b></div><div>This seems really over priced for a 33 point scorer. Tierney of the SJS scored 22 and is essentially making league min at $735K.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tadhockey</b></div><div>It seems like they're paying more for the legend of Pageau or his potential rather than his current ability level. It's not absolutely horrendous, but it isn't good by any stretch.</div></div>

Good thing signings are all about points, and have nothing to do with shutting down top lines, winning defensive draws, being the guy you have confidence throwing out there with 2 minutes left, ahead by a goal, 3 consecutive years of a PDO above 100, or advanced analytics.

edit : most deals are based off of potential and not current ability
