Thread: We Love A Hockey Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I don't think it's as terrible as you might think. The team has $15.3M in cap space that offseason, and the players from this lineup that you'd have needing contracts after 2022-23 would be:

Barzal: making $7M in 2022-23, probably resigns for $10M AAV (+$3M, $12.3M left)
Wahlstrom: on his ELC at $894K, can bridge for ~$3-4M depending on how he plays next year (take the high projection and +$3.1M, $9.2M left)
Parise: $750K, bottom 6. Either resigns for a similar amount or you bring up one of your guys from Bridgeport to take his spot (no change, $9.2M left)

Carson Soucy: making $2.75M. Maybe re-sign him to 4x$4.5M? I'd budget a number in that ballpark for him or his replacement (+$4.5M, $4.7M left)
Scott Mayfield: the hardest replacement. He's RD3, so maybe you just bite the bullet and get a veteran UFA for cheap (+$1.5M, $3.2M left)

I've got Johnston &amp; Bellows already signed for 2023-24 as your 13th &amp; 14th forwards, and you shouldn't be paying your 7th D more than $1M, whether it's Hutton, Bolduc, Weatherspoon, or whoever.

That leaves about $2.2M under the 2023-24 cap with everyone signed - plenty of room to maybe go bigger on LD2 and bring a guy in for $5-6M if you want, or if Wahlstrom has a huge season you have room to give him the deal he wants. If you don't use it there, then you have some good space for the TDL if you want to upgrade anywhere else as well.</div></div>

You have $5,000 left on the cap and almost no expires that you're not keeping:
Barzal - stay
Wahlstrom - stay
Parise - gone
Soucy - stay
Mayfield - stay
That $15 mil you have is with these guys completely removed from the cap, so Barzal's $10 mil leaves only $5 mil left.

Thread: Unpopular Opinion Incoming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>That is incorrect. Elite goaltending, the Pelech/Pulock pair and Barzal is the reason why they’ve made it the ECF. They carried the team. They are all elite players.

Also Devon Toews is a superstar , why do you think Colorado would trade him for scraps?</div></div>

Dude I'm an Isles fan and I'd never call Pelech or Pulock elite. They're very good defenders, Pulock very good 2-way, but they're not on the elite level of scoring and dynamic play like others are. The Isles were filled with almost the same players from one year to the next going from Snow/Weight to Lou/Trotz and the difference was insane. It was to the point that if Snow had been able to bring in Trotz and work with him on his system, he'd probably still be here over Lou! So please, it is absolutely system built. If it was based on elite level talent alone, Toronto would be a sure thing for the cup in the last few seasons and this current one as well. It'll end up being Boston or Carolina that likely goes the distance though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>COL declines and has plenty of cap space to keep Toews for the remainder of his contract.
Check any of the past hundred COL AGMs posted, tons of room for Toews.

IF he was to be moved, the package you've offered is low and you know it.</div></div>

There's $25.6 mil of space this offseason for Avs. Call it $26 mil, that will get you Burakovsky, Kadri, Kuemper, Manson or Murray (not both) and Nichushkin. That'll bring the to 10 forwards, 7, defensemen and 2 goalies being pretty much capped out. Unless they get some of them to discount themselves a little bit, as Landeskog very obviously did, they're going to have to move some pieces. This trade would get you 2 playable players in your lineup and at least $2 mil in cap space back as well. I will agree though, the pick would have to change to at least a 2nd rounder and maybe another later round in addition. You are definitely right there.

Thread: Deadline to the Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>The isles are not trading Beauvillier for a rental in a year where theyre not making the playoffs.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>Don't see NSH considering that offer, and why are the Isles in on a UFA?</div></div>

Nashville has apparently already came out and said they’re exploring trading him because they’re likely not re-signing him. The Islanders were linked to him last season on trade targets and it seemed there was mutual interest from him. Isles likely will target him in FA. This gives them a jump on a SCORING forward they desperately need, which Beauvillier is not. I’m not very high on him so I always look to move him on here. I’d imagine Nashville takes that’s offer in a heartbeat if they don’t have him locked up long term for sure.

Thread: Balance
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>I think that value on the Tampa trade is eschewed because of the offer sheet rumor, bet they could get a 1 from somebody somewhere or at least a better prospect. Sergachev is awesome.

Otherwise, I like the Parise trade but I have doubts about how easy it is to trade that contract because of all the money stuff if he retires. Pretty sure thats what nixed the deal at the deadline, anyway, even though we found it was a bigger package.

The Ottawa trade I don't like. Id rather lose a pick or a prospect than Bailey.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>If Minnesota agrees to that, sure. It’s definitely creative, but I don’t know if they increase their cap hit like that just to offload half of a bad contract. But half-Parise wouldn’t be THAT risky in my book.

Only reason the Isles should trade Bailey is if they have no choice between Barzal, Pulock and possibly Sergachev. Trade a 1st rounder to dump Boychuk if you have to, it’s not like Thompson will properly develop whoever we draft.

I’d bet Tampa tries their damndest to keep Sergachev, but if they move him, I bet they’d want at least 1 1st for him. So more like Aho, a 1st and a 2nd, which personally, I’d still do. And I bet Sergachev gets at least another million or two in aav.

All of that said, this would be a good team. Undo the Bailey trade and this team is a legit cup contender.</div></div>


Guys, this might be the first time posting on the site and being told I wasn't a complete moron, or something along those lines. Haha. I feel like Sergachev is a reach but it's out there. Scary that I'm sure there are teams hawking us the same way over Barzal right now. A UFA idea for that spot I had was Vatanen, but I couldn't get a feel for what his value would be.

As for Bailey, I know I'm in the minority here but I feel like he's a perfect person to move to open up a roster spot that needs to open. He'll get a good amount of money off the cap, bring in a decent return and allows Wahlstrom to slot right into that 3rd line RW. Even if it's not this trade above, I still think they may have to explore him as a possibility of movement. As it is now, he's slid down to the 3rd line. I don't know, just a thought.

Leddy trade: I don't think Arizona can take his cap hit, can they? Also, why would we move him for that?
Hickey trade: Neither team does this. Vancouver doesn't need another depth d-man and they already have some cap problems. They're not giving up a pick for Hickey. Also I'd rather we keep him as a 7th D.</div></div>

Multiple edits made as I had started this weeks ago before the Kessel trade. Who knew they’d spend TO the cap; unbelievable.

Thread: Offseason Completion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>niko</b></div><div>And with what cap will we sign barzal, pulock, and toews with the year after</div></div>

You missed the explanation part where I said: Looking to next year, there's a bit more than $10 mil on the cap. We'll assume most of that is going to Barzal. Smith is only here until Sorokin is ready. If Sorokin comes then money has to be cleared. If Sorokin is out still, Isles find a similar replacement. Moving Leddy for picks and no salaries coming back clears up enough room to sign Pulock for sure, likely Clutterbuck goes for the same return and that's Toews extended easily. Aho can be brought back, maybe. Wilde comes up at that point and there's 6D back there for sure, just need the 7th for bench. If Martin comes back, he's getting $1 mil or so and should be able to just squeeze under. Johnston fits that role and is signed for some time however so Martin isn't totally necessary.
