<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>its more likely to get a prospect and 2 seconds over getting a first. those first rounders are coveted by ALL teams. You only send firsts for elite talent. Look at prior deals. not many first rounders going back for guys that arent or werent once elite players. Similar scenario with ryan dzingel last year. ottawa got duclair and 2 seconds back. andrew shaw just had 19 and 47 he got a 2nd and a 7th. I just dont see a first heading back unless he puts up 60 points is all.</div></div>

Shaw got a second and a third.. and I agree not as many first's sent out recently, The point was Kapanen can be moved to make space and sure get a 2nd and a 3rd back. I Think i even mentioned in the trade I don't think Kapanen gets a 1st.. But he would be easy to move.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>One last point, i know GMs were optimistic about cap being at 83m this year, cap friendly had it at 83m for weeks, which would have been a 3.5m jump from last year like you have planned here. What happens if instead of being 85m cap its another 2m raise and cap is only at 83.5? Im beyond nervous that this cap stagnates after these massive contracts start getting thrown around and then we see a lockout in 2 years :(</div></div>

then you stand firm when trying to sign the Dermott's and Kerfoot's or replace them for slightly cheaper talent. it was the players union that chose the lower salary cap to reduce escrow, so use that as a bargaining chip to shave off 250k from a salary (Im sure the players don't accept this lol)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>mikheyev is making 925k this year. he likely wont take a paycut for 2 years if he is playing in the nhl. Kerfoot is about to get 3.5m in Arbitration. He also doesnt get a 3x3.33 deal unless he really sucks this year. I dont think Dermott goes that cheap either probably be closer to 2.5-3 range if he logs real minutes. Kapanen would need to put up 60-70 points to get you a 1st round pick back.</div></div>

Fair enough, Mikheyev can be replaced by any other 4th line guy close to league minimum, Kerfoot sure, I have built in some space to account for him potentially getting higher (I am not sure the leafs should go there personally) and Dermott at 2.5 would still fit assuming the Cap goes to 85M. valid points on your part though, its why i left over 2M in wiggle room
