Thread: Possible Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>L.A. Trade - Hawks decline. Why would the Hawks have an interest in some mid 20s minor leaguer and if all you can get for Mrazek with the way he is playing is a late 3rd round pick, might as well just keep him, especially when you are using up a retention spot. 2nd round pick and Turcotte for a 50% retained Mrazek.

Carolina Trade - not necessary if we don’t trade Mrazek. Also don’t see the Hawks retaining on Dickinson, his deal is not so big that they should have a hard time moving him if they want to.

Minnesota Trade - this is the only one I think has legs and the value seem right for a 50% retained Johnson.</div></div>

Minnesota doesn't have any cap room though. Kind of hard to add $2.5 million in cap when we have less than $10k in actual space and our only LTIR player (Goligoski at $2 million) is going to be back in a couple weeks. Even if he was done for the year, we still wouldn't have the money to make that trade.

Thread: Qualify Retain Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Yeah that's fine 8.5 is doable. Also I don't think you understand this scenario. This is basically a 9 year deal, not a one year deal. Jets sign him for this year at his qualifying offer, trade him at 50% to the wild since they are cap strapped. He then instantly signs an extension for 8 years at whatever dollar amount. The dollar amount isn't important. Obviously in a deal like this all the details are made before the trade.
Also how does this offer not get PLD? Promising young RHD prospect, which they need, a 1st a 2nd and Foligno. That's a better offer than most that have been acceptable from Montreal.</div></div>

You couldn't do that. Players on 1 year contracts can't instantly sign extensions. They are ineligible to sign new contracts until after January 1st. If this was the last year of a multiyear contract, he could sign earlier, but on a 1 year contract, he would have to wait until midseason.
