Thread: Can you figure out the Formula and its Realistic with just 2 smaller trades

Who said he's an AHLer. No one said johnson is bad. He's a decent defensive defenseman. His contract could be cheaper though and it shouldnt be as long. This is worse for a team that doesnt need the extra cap hit right now. And what makes you think coglianos value is so good when he was traded for just devin shore. And theyre the same cap hit. And argument can obviously be made for why cogliano is the best choice of the two which is why picks exist. But penguins will be feeling a little deprived of a hagelin type player. And the Stars need a depth defender.</div></div>

Cogliano is quite valuable maybe slightly overpaid. His skating is still very strong and age hasn't hit him badly. JJ has among the worst metrics for qualified D-Men. The salary isn't the issue on the trade since its equal, but Cogliano will be good through his contract. JJ is buyout material now, better yet in 2-3 years. You'd have to really make it worth Dallas' while (1st maybe 2nd Rounder) to take on JJ or really any team to take him on since he is buyout proof due to a 8 year payout period as of now.

Thread: Unrealistic Chicago trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Orionus</b></div><div>I mean, you're talking about a 30 year old winger who is one of the best players in hockey, crucial to the team he plays on, and who has no reason to be traded by said team. Oh, and he's going to be cheaper than most of his younger counterparts shortly, due to cap inflation.

If the Rangers wanted to trade for Kane, it would likely look like Kakko, Skjei, Strome, 2020 1st, and a B+ prospect. Which is why it would never happen for either team.</div></div>

As a fan of neither team, if I was CHI I'd trade Kane for Kakko, Skjei &amp; a 1st Rounder. I think Kane is a Top 5 Player in the league, but that value would be incredible for Chicago and they could go sign Panarin with the extra cap space. Obviously won't happen but fun to discuss.
