Thread: Murrays Cap Sent Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>Not sure why either team does this</div></div>

Yeah I guess Murray's contract could just be buried in LTIR anyway lol, not exactly sure on the rules of which tbh, or if it'd be worth moving his cap hit - just exploring that idea.

I guess the scenario could be the Ducks, being in retool/rebuild mode, can eat the cap and possibly get 20-30 games out of Murray at league average numbers (I believe he was a .903%). They also get a few young guys, Abruz could be a bottom 6er or career AHLer sure, but Niemela was decently sought after + d-men have a higher aging/development curve. Amirov is a question mark due to the health issues but given he's cleared of things, he's very young and a first round pick - attractive to a team getting off the ground again.

As for Toronto, they get Max Jones as a decent bottom 6er + giant defenseman in Sustr if he's able to come back from the Red Star. Also a potential reclamation project in Juolevi who is still only mid 20's. Main thing for them is getting rid of the Murray cap hit, but if it can just be LTIR'd then I guess this is all for naught lol :)

I guess just eating the final year of Murray is better than getting rid of potential futures too, hence the 3rd back to TO. Just fun to mess around on here anyway

Thread: Tavares for Bratt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DevilsInDisguise</b></div><div>Devils wouldn't do this deal, we have no need for Tavares nor would we bail out toronto like this</div></div>

Fair enough, my thought process was more if Bratt wouldn't re-sign, rather than a year of arbitration, Tavares would add grit and stoicism to the top 6 as a winger or somewhere in a 1-2-3 punch and probably the deepest offense in the league. With not much term left and at a retained cap hit, I do think the addition of JT could push the Devils over the edge in terms of waves of offense and compete level. Taking into account adding Robertson to the deal, he's a similar player to Bratt, not in production but I believe in play style (I could be wrong). Totally get why they'd be opposed to this, of course, just brainstorming :) Also do think if Bratt didn't re-sign in Toronto and left after having gone to arbitration, it would be a gamble they somewhat lost. Anyways cool to hear from a fan of the trade partner team.
