Thread: (OTT/CHI) - Zaitsev + 2023 2nd RD pick + 2026 4th RD pick for future considerations
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>We're heading into a cap crunch next summer where we'll need to sign DeBrincat + Pinto and then fill out the rest of the roster.

Eventually, it adds up to the point where you have to do something.</div></div>

I'm aware ... but my point is that Ottawa shouldn't be heading into a cap crunch in the middle of a rebuild.

This is the 2nd contract they've had to pay to dump in 12 months ... yet they haven't been near the playoffs in years.

They should still be on the other end of these deals given that the team is still floundering ... if just feels like financial mis-management.

<strong>And if DeBrincat gets a $9,000,000 AAV ... Ottawa's cap structure will be more top heavy than Toronto's next year (6 largest cap hits + dead cap).</strong>

Thread: Playoff Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>J You probably have to add something for them to take (what is to them a cap dump) in Kerfoot, like a midlevel prospect like Steeves.</div></div>

Since the start of last season:


<strong>Alex Kerfoot:</strong>

<strong>115</strong> = Games Played
<strong>063</strong> = ES Points <strong>(#57 in NHL)</strong>
<strong>2.74</strong> = ES Points / 60 Mins
<strong>0.55</strong> = ES Points / Game
<strong>(+28)</strong> = Plus / Minus
<strong>15:10</strong> = Time on Ice
<strong>$3,500,000</strong> = Cap Hit

<strong>Ryan O'Rielly:</strong>

<strong>112</strong> = Games Played
<strong>053</strong> = ES Points <strong>(#93 in NHL)</strong>
<strong>2.15</strong> = ES Points / 60 Mins
<strong>0.47</strong> = ES Points / Game
<strong>(-13)</strong> = Plus / Minus
<strong>18:50</strong> = Time on Ice
<strong>$7,500,000</strong> = Cap Hit

The narrative that Alex Kerfoot is a cap dump is so radically incorrect it's kind of mind blowing.
He kills penalties, gets zero powerplay time, and produces like 1st liner at even strength.
Kerfoot has out produced O'Rielly lately, but O'Rielly is still CLEARLY a better player.
However, the difference between them is no longer a 1st + 2nd + 3rd round pick.
<strong>I wouldn't make this trade from the Leafs perspective. Kerfoot's too useful</strong>.


<strong>Side Note:</strong>
Every selling team takes back salary at the trade deadline.
Otherwise, no good team has the cap-space to trade with them.
And expiring deals (Kerfoot, Engvall, Gaudette) are ideal for sellers.
You complain about really weird stuff.
