Thread: Rob Blake type moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the going rate for retention has been a 4th a the deadline for players on expiring contracts. Considering you'd be getting 2.25 years out of that, I'd have to imagine it's not as simple as saying "Ok, here's 3 x 4th round picks!". Arizona, who continue their rebuild, would effectively burn 1 of their 3 retention slots for the next 3 deadlines. They've already burned 1 until the end of the 25-26 season by retaining on OEL.

Basically, Arizona's strategy to this point has been to get paid to take on dumps, then, when one or more bounces back, they flip them to get a second payday on them, typically including retention as they're expiring contracts. Handcuffing yourself away from that strategy, IMO, would cost more than some late round picks.</div></div>

Ah didn't know there's a limit on number of retentions you're allowed. Good stuff mate!

Thread: Interesting 5 way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>stephane_robidas</b></div><div>So if I'm following correctly, LA moves Petersen's contract, a first and a second and gets Demko? Sounds pretty good</div></div>

Historically, a 1st + 2nd/3rd has been the price for an equivalent salaried goalie swap with an imbalance.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>Not sure why the Blues would want to add Salary and players at this time.

Would be much better off just selling ROR for futures.

Boeser's contract complicates things down the road when Buchnevich will need a raise.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>Blues decline. If we are trading ROR it will be for picks and prospects. Not another roster player</div></div>

This is valid. I thought the Blues want a bit more depth (also Boeser is part retained), but if not completely understandable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sleeparc</b></div><div>So SJ gives up Timo and gets a 32 year old UFA who is putting up 3rd line numbers? Come on, this is silly.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>San Jose moves Timo for a 1st, 2nd and Tatar? Add Luke Hughes or Byfield and sure</div></div>

Meier is on an expiring contract and so far hasn't shown signs of resigning- that significantly drops his value. Tatar can replace him for this season, which improves their lottery odds and brings a veteran in. Historically, the price for a high-skill winger rental (Meier) has been a mid-tier roster replacement, a first, and a second. This is in line with that.
