Thread: Trade proposal i saw on a blog

This trade is within the division and does not adequately serve the interests of either team.

I'd argue it's an overpayment from Ottawa because you've included Josh Norris.

Thread: If the Oilers win the Cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>If they don't QO him, he's not worth the contract you have him.</div></div>

It's the same contract that Ken Holland signed him to back in December of 2020.

Also, some players go unqualified and are signed by another team at a similar cap hit.

Jujhar Khaira and Dominik Kahun are just two examples.

Thread: If the Oilers win the Cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Why would the Canes not qualify Bear? I can see them trading him, but not qualifying him and losing him for nothing would be stupid.</div></div>

1. Canes need extensions for Trocheck, Niederreiter, Domi, Necas and DeAngelo.

After Bear's QO of 2.4 million, the Canes will only have 17 million in cap space for those extensions as well as to fill out the rest of the roster.

When you look at it, the math isn't that great.

2. If you were to trade Bear, the other team foots the bill on his QO.

And Bear does not get a lot of ice time for the Canes and is a healthy scratch on some nights.

You're not going to get much interest, if any.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>What would the Canucks accept for Woo?</div></div>

Tyson Galloway + Conditional 4th round pick

If Woo doesn't appear in any regular season or playoff games for the Blues, it's downgraded to a 5th round pick.

I have no idea.

Just spitballing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>5th isn't the lottery, Lottery is top 3 and the odds of Vancouver going from 15 to 5 is pretty miniscule.</div></div>

There are two lottery drawings and if the Canucks win either of them, they would pick at 5.

I stand by what I said.

As for the minuscule odds, I only create the absolute best scenario for the team that is the subject of my posts.

Thread: Is there a trade to be made involving Petr Mrazek and Nikita Zaitsev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Yeah, leafs dont touch that
They arnt moving mrazek to take back a worse contract, if their trading him its to move money, otherwise they are buying him out.
Not to mention zaitsev is a worse defender than mrazek is a goalie</div></div>

Mrázek was placed on waivers this season, needed a conditioning stint with the Marlies and suffered an injury that required using LTIR.

Zaitsev did neither of those things.

Mrazek posted a 3.34 GAA and a 0.888 save percentage for a team that is making the playoffs.

Zaitsev posted a -5, played 19 minutes a night and killed penalties for a team that is missing the playoffs.

I find your opinion that Zaitsev is a worse defender than Mrazek is a goalie to be rather curious :popcorn

1. Victor Mete wants his qualifying offer and you're not giving it to him.

2. We are not bring back Tyler Ennis.

3. Only trade that is good for Ottawa in this post is the one with Seattle.

All the others are bad.

Thread: Sharks if New GM Tries to Reach a Deal with Dorion to Trade Karlsson Back to OTT

You would also have to reach a deal with Karlsson himself because he has a NMC.

We also don't have an owner in place to pay out his contract.

Your trade idea doesn't even get off the ground.

Sorry.
