Thread: Deadline Moves PIT and BOS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>It's a little off to the Pens favor, but that's the idea. Certainly not "way off" and also certainly closer to actual values than the original AGM.

Galchenyuk is having a "bad year" yet he is outscoring Athanasiou per 60. He is also more physical and they are on par defensively. Athanasiou doesn't top Galchenyuk in any aspect on the ice itself. The only thing he has over Galchenyuk is RFA vs UFA.

Daley is basically valueless. He's a nice guy, but he is a #7D on any contending team. Nothing but injury depth. Future consideration or a 7th type value.

Galchenyuk, 4th for Athanasiou, Daley (50%) favors the Pens, but not by nearly as much as you are making out. Changing the 4th to a 2nd might flip the value back to the Wings side.

Bottom line is that replacing Galchenyuk with Athanasiou on the Pens roster doesn't make any real impact on the Pens chances of winning come playoff time. No improvement. Why would the Pens "pay" for no improvement?

That doesn't even take into account the -35. Which, I'm not going to say anything about... I'm just going to put it out on the table and let it sit there.</div></div>

You're insane if you think that's a fair trade, simple as that. AA is a far better player than Gal, he's just playing on a FAR worse team. Forget perceived value there is no way the Wings trade AA for a meaningless pick and a UFA...makes no sense.

Daley won two cups with Pitt....two. You are clearly out of your element here. Referencing +/- proved that real quick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lampshadey20</b></div><div>The "significant piece" is cap space. Even if he's buried in the minors, he still counts for almost $5M against the cap and you guys have to sign Krug, DeBrusk, Chara, etc. this summer. Buying him out saves you less than $1M in cap space next year, as he'd still count for $4M. Use your head before shooting down stuff just because your team has to give up an asset. That's the price you pay for signing crap deals - believe me, as a Wings fan I wish I could get rid of our garbage with a single 1st round pick. You get Perlini, a 23 year old who has looked okay prior to this year, when he's spent the majority of it on one of the worst teams in NHL history. Nobody's taking Backes off your hands for a 4th round pick, bud.</div></div>

This is the perfect analysis...
He tries to call me a homer in other posts, but then does stuff like this lol. Me and a bunch of the other fans tend to get along and I see this guy fighting everyone (inlcuding myself) so dont pay him much attention. Just try to be respectful and hopefully he will realize that while other people are agreeing with eachother (from different fanbases) he isnt.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McGruff</b></div><div>Boston doesn't NEED what you offer: Backes is buried, is manageable money-wise going forward 1 more year and won't be dealt for a 1st w/ a fourth liner (barely NHL-calibre anymore) forward depth coming back.
Not needed one iota - the need is a RW 2nd-Line Scorer!</div></div>

This is wrong. Bruins Accept 1000 times over

<a href="/users/lampshadey20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@lampshadey20</a> this is great for both teams!

To clarify because its clear you dont understand. Burying doesnt get rid of the contract. It still counts towards their cap (5 million vs. 6, but still a big hit).
Perlini is a young forward on his entry level deal, and the bruins will be more than happy to give up a late first to move Backes and get a decent young player. Plus Perlini wont sign for more than a two-way deal so it is no loss for the bruins at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blanche</b></div><div>I am not surprised that the Wings are in cap trouble. I put out an armchair GM about the cap issues for 2018-19, in fact, Larkishin, a Wings fan was very adamant that there would be no issues. Haven't seen him on the site in a while. Not sure what the solution is here, but whomever is the gm in Detroit is far worse than Bergevin. I don't see anyone taking on any of those contracts proposed in trade and I doubt very much Isles would move Ho Sang for Nyquist. Maybe Bertuzzi for Ho Sang but that doesn't solve your cap issues. Bonne chance.</div></div>

:laugh Wings have cap troubles is that why we've near $30 million to spend next summer with both Mule and Z on LTIR and closer to $50 million in 2020. Yeah that's cap trouble. :laugh :shakehead
