Thread: Luke Fox on Campbell extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Buying out Mrazek would be stupid as all that dead cap makes 0 sense

Heres the more logical solution.

Trade Kerfoot then Buyout Ritchie.

Kerfoot with the way he has played has increased his value and being owed 700k after his bonus money is paid is an added bonus to teams wanting to save money.

Then we get to Ritchie whose buyout costs 300k year 1 then 1.1mill year 2 which can be worked around.

Replace Kerfoot with Ho-Sang and see which prospect impresses out of camp and your set.

Got a feeling next year we see

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Nylander-Tavares-Ho-Sang
Holmberg or any prospect who impresses-Kampf-Kase
Simmonds-Lindholm-Spezza

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Liligren
Sandin-Holl

Campbell
Mrazek

Extras: Dermott, Anderson</div></div>

A team will certainly trade assets to acquire Ritchie. 26yo PWF who was drafted 10th overall not too long ago has value. I think NYR actually offered him more AAV than TOR did

Also, who is Lindholm at 4C?

Thread: Instead of Chychrun lets focus on somebody affordable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>Never underestimate GM's who think/fool themselves into believing their team can win a Cup at the trade deadline. Remember when Greatest GM of all time David Poile traded a 1st round pick to Buffalo for 4C Paul Gaustad? Pepperidge Farms remembers. Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat anyone? George McPhee remembers.</div></div>

Funny how you mention the gaustad trade, which at the time looked incredibly stupid. But has aged spectacularly for Nashville. The 1st they sent to Buffalo wasn't used by the Sabres. They packaged it with a 2nd to CGY to move up in the draft and selected Zemgus Girgensons. CGY used the pick on Mark Jankowski who ironically is on the Sabres rn.

There was a 4th that Buffalo sent to Nashville in that deal. The Preds used that on none other than Juuse Saros.

If Buffalo or Calgary had better scouting/management they probably don't make that look as lopsided. But it's fully how q trade that looked awful at the time ended up looking terrible for the other team

Thread: Rask comes home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>So what?
We’re REBUILDING right now
And rebuilding teams don’t trade away young talent for Vets,
especially average (at best) ones
It’s utterly ridiculous to even suggest

It would be like u guys trading Podkolzin for someone like Okposo
Just wouldn’t make ANY sense whatsoever</div></div>

Podkolzin was a lottery pick who looks promising, Okposo is an overpaid plug

Thompson was a late 1st who has definitely not looked like a 1st round worthy player (before this season, hes been fine this year), Mrazek is a good goalie signed for the next couple years, but so good that he will singlehandedly ruin the rebuild

Obviously I dont think either team should make this trade, but I feel like you overexaggerated your point
