Thread: Mantha for Domi plus more 1 for 1 trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>For sure it wouldn't surprise at all that Yzerman has zero interest in moving Mantha. but here me out on this:

Domi and Mantha are the same age
Both are going in to arbitration eligible restricted free agency
Both their career averages are identical at 54pts per 82 games
Domi is coming off a 72pts season last year. Mantha, pro rated, would've had a 72 pts season this year.
Domi's added value of being a center is canceled out with Mantha's added value of being a goal scorer.
Both fill a need for either team (DET need a #2C, MTL need goal scorers)

Again, Yzerman probably has no interest in moving Mantha, but value and fit is very close if you ask me.</div></div>

Yes they have comparable numbers, but can someone proposing this Mantha Domi deal give me reasons why Wings make this deal?

I beleive Mantha due to injuries has never reached his full potential, whereas I think Domi has or is close to his ceiling.

Thread: Offseason moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>remowilliams</b></div><div>thanks for your opinion( now hear it from a canucks fan.Again the canucks will NOT give up a first to get rid of louie.he is not owed 6 million for two years ( please check your facts)we will simply keep him.there are other ways to free up cap by using assets.we gave a first for jt miller (awsome trade)so using that for a valuation for a first, do you think the canucks would trade jt miller with louie?this is strictly my opinion no disrespect intended.</div></div>

Yes, He is owed less in REAL dollars, I know that, but in CAP dollars he takes up 6 million. So you need to find a team that can afford 6 million in CAP dollars. That will not be easy, there are fewer teams with cap space than there are teams who need to clear cap.

Cap dollars are what counts, not real dollars, unless you can find a team the needs to reach the floor in CAP dollars but pay considerably less in REAL dollars. In that there even fewer teams. Many people on the site real dollars, but the AAV or the average amount of the contract salary is whats used to determine cap money.
