Thread: Based on the Debrincat deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>And again, missing context of the Fiala trade, which is that Minnesota couldnt afford to keep him, so they traded him for the best they could get, this is not a situation that is applicable to Anaheim or Zegras.

Secondly, none of us are asking for four firsts, we have been rejecting every proposal from HABS fans that have four firsts, because we don't want a grab bag of middle of the lineup assets, we already have those, <strong>IF</strong> we were to trade Zegras, it would be a long the lines of the Gauthier-Drysdale and Mittlestadt-Byram deals, a blue chip asset as the base of the deal, which would be Reinbacher, or MTLs 1st this year.</div></div>

Then the Ducks keep Zegras until the point his trade value drops and they must take a lower trade value, because NO team is meeting the Duck fans or Verbeek's asking price.

It'll be just like Debrincat trade all over again. Have a high asking price and watch the trade value drop until the team trading him just gives up and takes the lower value than they could have gotten a year earlier.

Thread: how to get out of cap hell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Thinking the Hawks will be "buyers" this off season and trade away picks for vets isn't going to happen. They'll do exactly what they did last summer. Take on a bad contract or two for additional picks and sign 2 or 3 UFA's. Teams like Chicago, San Jose and Anaheim will be trying to monitize their cap space. Isles will be lucky to move JGP at his full cap hit for future considerations or a late round pick at best. There just aren't many teams looking for a 3C with a $5m cap hit. If the Isles retain on him, then sure, maybe they find a trade partner.

As for Beau, the Hawks were in a desperate situation to add a guy who could play in their top 6, which was decimated by injuries at the time of that trade. Turned out Beau wasn't that guy. Why Nashville paid a 5th for him is still a mystery to me. Beau is not a $4m player. Not even close.</div></div>

A third line center named Monahan got traded for a 1st Rd pick.

I know, his contract is more than half less than Pageau's.
