<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-I don't see any reason for the Devils to do this - Primeau isn't really any sort of upgrade in goal for them, he's just a little cheaper than Vanecek. If the cap space is an issue, they can buy Vanecek out and clear some space, and then potentially use those picks to get a better tandem goalie than Primeau to upgrade that spot.

-Feels like fair value but probably doesn't happen for a while with Laine in the assistance program. But I could definitely see the Jackets trying to clear the decks, especially if Jarmo gets fired at some point in the near future. Letang is slowing down a -little- but is still the clear #1 on the roster you've put together here. And you're sending back basically three cap dumps - Vanecek would be an expensive backup behind Tristan Jarry, and Armia &amp; Dvorak are $7.6M worth of bottom-6 forwards at this point. Four 1st rounders is a lot, but honestly think it's still not enough here.

-I think the Rangers pass. I can't see them settling for what's likely a late 2nd rounder and Ylonen as a return for Kakko, even if Kakko isn't living up to his draft pedigree.

-I get the idea, but there's just no way Crosby plays anywhere but PIttsburgh before the end of his career. And honestly, this is pretty horrible value - Crosby at 36 is still a first line center and there's no reason to think he wouldn't be next year.</div></div>

Primeau would be the backup (for now) that the Devils work to develop into a starter for the long term.

I’d be fine with the Winnipeg 1st for Kakko as well. If they want Ylonen too though, I wouldn’t go higher than a 2nd. It could be our 2025 2nd if they prefer.

It’s 100% up to Sid what he wants to do. One year before UFA. Pens would move him if he asks. 100%. If ever he came to Montreal, his childhood team? He’d be God over here. If ever he brought us cup #25? Potential GOAT status.

What the return is, the return is. I was more curious what the team would look like with him. Price’s knee would probably be fine for one final kick at the can. Cap doesn’t count in the playoffs.
