<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ducky10</b></div><div>Its not that they wouldn't trade them, just not for scraps as suggested here. I realize that neither will command a high return therefore, their value is greater to the team and the city than what they would get for them. There has not been a player since Trouba that has complimented Morrisey as well as Demelo has and Lowry will very likely be the next captain. He is a major culture carrier and someone who loves being in Winnipeg. He plays the way the community wants the game to be played. These fact cannot be ignored. Hope that helps.</div></div>

How did I suggest they are traded for scraps when I didn’t even specify a return? How are prospects and picks scraps. That’s absurd.

Having reasons why you don’t want to trade them is understandable, but saying I suggested scraps for them when I left the return up to your own imagination is odd and I don’t understand how you would come to that conclusion.

Didn’t put a price tag on either player but somehow it’s scraps. Thanks for the insight.

Thread: Leafs try again with The Core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devils101</b></div><div>If I’m not mistaken, that last sentence states that with Muzzin still in Toronto, at the start of the season, his 5.5m will count towards the cap… hence why teams trade players that are on LTIR (Weber, Datsyuk, Seabrook, Clarkson, etc.)</div></div>

Teams that have a lot of cap room trade for those contracts because they will count against the cap for low or no real dollars. No contract will provide LTIR relief unless you are at the cap ceiling, then, any contracts on LTIR kick in.

I don't see where it says that he will not be LTIR eligible in the offseason. The rule I quoted doesn't state that it will at all. Unless there is different language in the CBA you can find then he will not count against the cap. Muzzin is injured indefinitely and I don't think they will have trouble proving that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devils101</b></div><div>Yes his contract is on LTIR, but he cannot go on LTIR until after game 1, I believe. So his salary would still count until after game 1. So to clear the cap, you trade him so you can spend the money in the summer</div></div>

"LTIR can be used in the off-season while the 10% off-season cushion is active. LTIR in the off-season is calculated using the basic equation outlined above, which permits a team to exceed the off-season salary cap. To use off-season LTIR the team must provide doctors proof that the player in question will continue to be injured at the beginning of the regular season for 10 NHL games and 24 calendar days.

At the start of the season the teams LTIR relief &amp; ACSL is recalculated when the 10% cushion is removed."

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>Rip is known to do that. Will scold you for bad takes and trades but never posts anything himself. Cares too much about winning random ACGM arguments.

Now on to your trade:

Ryjo is still a very effective middle 6C. The problem that comes with him is how overpaid he is. He's a great morale guy and great with mentoring younger players. If there is retention (probably closer to 50%), 4m for him at 2 years would be fine to have as your 2C. He's has crappy linemates here on Nashville as well, and his QoT has been poor, kinda makes him look worse than he is.

Now with your payment, I think you did overpay. Ryjo, at half retention, would probably only net Nashville closer to a 2nd+. (If Granlund and Nino can get us a 2nd, so can Ryjo). Which I would be fine with. Nashville needs to clear spots for our younger players.</div></div>

I will accept that it is an overpayment, with honor. I do try to overcompensate for my own bias being a Leafs fan. As well as floating ideas to NSH fans to see what a trade would looks like. I agree Johansen is still effective and there's no doubt that there has to be money eaten by Nashville for him to provide value.

My thought process here would be the late 1st for Johansen, and something around a 2nd round pick for the retention. I like Minten and he had a good D+1 year, a year removed from being an early-ish 2nd round pick. As I understand it NSH has a history of not wanting to retain anything on contracts.

If the cost is lower, then I see that as a win-win. I think it's an interesting idea and a bit different than some of the usual stuff on here.

Most of the trades I make on here are to promote discussion, offer different ideas, and just have fun making rosters. I actually post rosters instead of clicking on threads offering nothing of value and crying about who needs to add a 3rd rd pick. I'm gonna defend my opinions clearly, but you haven't offered valuable discussion in any post you've been in, never mind being able to fully read a post before crying about it.

Clearly you're more interested in winning meaningless Armchair GM trades than being a fan of hockey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMafia</b></div><div>How is that a ridiculous take; over the last 4 years the dude is 0.236 gpg &amp; 0.596 ppg &amp;dash 20. If we consider only 5x5 he’s 0.148 gpg &amp; 0.396 ppg. Do they look like numbers of a top player in his prime? Come on</div></div>

PPG and +/-? These are the tools you use to evaluate players?

He's 1.6 p/60 5v5 that's on the low end of his career average, but still in line with many of his seasons over the last 8 years. Nashville deploys their lines differently. He will play more minutes here, even in a 2nd line role, where he will face easier competition and be surrounded by really good players... Not Granlund and Niederreiter

He's can use his size, can play LW or C, great at faceoffs, consistently a positive event player at 5v5. Can be deployed balanced in either zone. Good hands, good on PP. Decent underlying numbers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Certainly don't want pay anything to get Johnsson even at a retained 5.m. Find better UFAs at 5m and not give up anything
Don't think the value is there for the Flames. Two good upcoming UFAs, for one good upcoming UFA and not much else. Retiring as a Flame, an awful reason to Flames to trade for Giordamp..</div></div>

Johansen would be great for us. Would be way better than Bunting 5.25x4 like your post...

The exact value doesn't matter for the Flames trade. Like I said. They should have interest in a deal with the main pieces. And Gio doesn't add any value to the deal it was just a farewell to Gio.

Not many options to bring in... ROR can fit cap wise in this roster even with Johansen with minor adjustments. But that is likely a 3-4 year term.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mferraro</b></div><div>They have the cap. But yes, I'm not sure if they are willing to eat those dollars. He is owed 16m over 2 years. This would bring that down to 7m over 2 years and they can find a replacement in the short term in FA for less dollars than they would have had to pay Johansen including the retention.

The big question I guess is where is that team headed and are they willing to move a big piece of their team who has 2 years left for future pieces.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OkMan</b></div><div>We have more than enough space to make this work. However, NSH is notorious for not retaining on anyone. I wonder if that’ll change under Trotz though.

I’d be looking at getting a decent piece back for him here though. I proposed trading the 2023 BOS 1st for McDonagh (retained) and a 2nd a few week ago. I wonder if something similar could work here</div></div>

2023 BOS 1st + Fraser Minten? or Leafs move back in the draft and offer 2024 TOR 1st + 2023 2nd?

If you see my above comment regarding the real dollars over the next 2 years do you think that could sway NSH to take on some of the money?
