<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpigeon2000</b></div><div>Please see the reply to MoreHitsSeider's post. To add an additional response to your post, if palhal states teams should hold "feet to the flames" to not help teams like the Rangers with their cap challenges, the opposite is true as well - why would cap challenged teams bend over backwards to give on the cusp teams sweetheart deals that could help that team get past them.</div></div>

Are you saying that New York would be bending over backwards to give Detroit a "sweetheart" deal here? My idea of a trade involving both to Detroit would be Trouba (2M retained) and Goodrow (641,667) retained for either Future Considerations or Mastrosimone signing rights. Trouba at 6M is a good deal for us and Goodrow at 3M is still an overpaid 4th line winger with 4 years of term. One of the biggest issues to get around is the trade clauses, Trouba with his full NMC and Goodrow with 15 team no trade list. Assuming they both accept a trade to Detroit in this scenario. Using retention instead of buyouts doesn't save them more next season, actually it's about 700K worse next season, it saves them 1.5M the following season and then like 2.7M the year after and so on. So the long term effects of buyouts would probably hurt the franchise more than the retention. Not to mention that you are gaining 9M in cap space which is the whole idea of this scenario. So is Detroit getting a sweetheart deal or is New York? Both teams benefit from this which is the idea of making trades.
