Thread: Tell Shanahan to hire me as an advisor to the GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWing9119</b></div><div>The minimum roster requirement is 20 players per the CBA. However, this GM still wouldn't work because he's over the cap. Can't call up a replacement for an IR injury. Even if it was cap compliant (say at 81 million), he has no replacement players so they'd have to play shorthanded. This is something that most people on here don't seem to understand. I see GMs constantly that are right at the cap with only 1 or 2 replacement players. While it's technically legal it's extremely risky.</div></div>

You are correct. 20 man roster. Last year due to some short term injuries and sickness Vegas played a game with 10 forwards and 5 defensemen and two goalies. This was all due to the fact that they were at the cap.limit and had no space to call up replacements. So yes a team can play with less than a full squad, if they have no cap space.

That being said, Wings are not shopping Bertuzzi, but if a team calls they will listen. But they are not trading him for that return. 1st is is not even compatible and 2nd it involves and interdivisional rival, which makes it even more unlikely unless there is an slight over payment, which this clearly is not.

Thread: Leafs ReillyForsberg plus Bertuzzi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JestingCobra</b></div><div>You sound read mad my dude. If only there was another example of Yzerman sticking by a young player on his team on to trade him later :| https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2016/04/20/jonathan-drouin-tampa-bay-lightning-stanley-cup-playoffs/83280728/</div></div>

Talk about comparing apples and oranges. Do you even know the situation that took place in Tampa? I will assume you either do not or just being a typical Leaf fan and trying to justify a stance with any and all things you can use to make your case.

1st Drouin and Yzerman had a very public and bad relationship. Yzerman wanted him to play a certain way, with more energy, Drouin thought differently. When sent down to the AHL he failed to report and demanded a trade. Essentially, Droyin forced Yzerman's hand and when he did trade him he got back Sergachev.

So please explain where a. Yzerman and Bertuzzi have had this form of relationship, b. If Drouin who had proven nothing at the point of his trade can get Sergachev, makes you think he will take a low 2nd round pick for a proven player?

Again your logic and statement are flawed.

Just because he is listening does not mean he will trade him for nothing. Hell Gretzsky was traded. Anyone can be traded. He is listening and that is what a GM should do, but to say he is listening and he is shopping are two totally different things. He probably has had GM' s call on all his players from Bertuzzi, Larkin, Sieder and his 1st, and he has what he would want if he were to pull the trigger. Becuase he is listening does not mean he will take anything less than what he believes is fair market value.

That being said a late round 2nd is NOT what he would be looking for in a trade for Bertuzzi.
