Thread: Thinking outside the box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>No to both.

8 x 9.5 for Huberdeau, pass. Canes don’t carry guys until they are 38 at that high of a cap hit for good reasons. We aren’t about to start</div></div>

Fair, and I do agree it is a very Not-Canes-Like move, but IF we WERE to do something like that, I could see it happening for someone like Huberdeau who is at a "buy low" point given the last season. If Huberdeau had hit even 85 points last season, I doubt the flames would even entertain an offer like this. If the canes are in "win now" mode, I think this is a good way to try to get a proven effective offensive player now while giving up the least amount of assets in return even if it does spell doom for the last few years of his contract. All that being said, I definitely understand where you are coming from.

Thread: Wild New Ideas Comments Wanted
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Soul</b></div><div>You're not getting Karlsson for a 7th. He just won his second Norris trophy. Yes, bad money is hard to move, but EK is not bad money, he has value.

Then you're turning around and flipping him, suggesting he has enough value to bring in Draisaitl, so it's just completely contradictory.</div></div>

EK may be able to bring in a bit more, but part of the issue is no one can afford him at full price. Furthermore, EK still has 4 more years on that contract. Moving it at full value is pretty close to impossible in today's cap market in my opinion. However, he has tremendous value as a sub $6Mil player. So the idea of the flip is partially in eating a total of $22 Million in dead cap over the next 4 years while giving a team the game changing player they want at a contract that is now below market value. I feel like the idea is not as outlandish as it sounds. The issue is if it would be enough to play in a deal for draisaitl. That is why I included the sweetner of Necas and took away their other bad contract of Yamamoto.
