<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riddick19</b></div><div>Dude.... If you think Ottawa is taking $6M of cap hit off your hands for a player that has less than 30 points? Never going to happen. If Staios does give that a shot? It will only be because they deem Norris out for the entire season. If they did deem him out for the season, Philly is retaining $2M and throwing in a top prospect or 1st round pick. If you will recall the price Briere wanted for taking Joseph and his rwmaining contract on? They wanted a 1st rounder or Tyler Boucher who was a 1st rounder.... Joseph's cap hit is $3.25M... So come on lets be realistic here.... If Ottawa is taking on Johansson at $6M a season.... It's going to cost Philly an absolute fortune.</div></div>

Johansson's cap hit would be only 2M. The preds are retaining 50% of it already.

I'd add way more to the Zegras deal, so Anaheim passes. Johnson and Zegras are redundant, and it doesn't make sense to trade Johnson (too early to tell), so it doesn't make sense to trade for Zegras.

I'd want more for Elvis, too. Roslovic 50% retained is probably a 2nd, so it's basically Elvis for Vanecek and someone who probably tops out as an AHL RD? Considering Elvis has been fine, better to just hold onto him. Maybe someone looks to add him at ~$1M retained in the offseason.

That makes the Campbell deal a non-starter, though. If Edmonton is waiting until the offseason, they'll just buy out Campbell since it's really not that bad. The only reason to pay to move him is if they decide they <em>have</em> to go for it all<em> this year</em>. Especially if the price to move him is a 1st+.

Peeke goes for less, Bean looks about right, and Tex I'd rather just keep. I like him as a skilled 4th-liner who can play up if there's an injury (kind of like Danforth). I doubt someone pays a 2nd for him right now anyway.

Love the Toffoli signing, pass on Seeler (doesn't fit the timeline, and Philly is going to re-sign him for more), and absolutely yes on Stolarz...but that's not happening if Elvis is still here. Tarasov needs to go IMO.
