Thread: Next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Born2BeWild</b></div><div>I like all of your moves, only variations i believe are Sturm will get a little more like $1.75mil for 3yrs, Goligoski will get $2mil flat like he agreed with BG when he signed here. The big move i believe he will trade Talbot to free up about 2.5mil and get about $6mil in cap space flexibility to sign a couple more entry level contracts like Wallstedt &amp; McBain. Thatll leave him about 2.5-3mil for free agent signings and leave about 1-1.5mil in cap space going into next year. Dumba could get a 1st for sure from Seattle i believe....or could be packaged to Vancouver for Horvat or MIller too. But i believe all will be done in the offseason and he will ride this group barring any devastating injuries for a playoff run and see where we are at.</div></div>

I think Billy G may ride with Talbot for 1 more year, and I think if I’m correct about JW’s ELC sliding next year then I think we go that route 10/10 with him

Thread: 2 cheap TDL deals for a cup run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CAPDumba</b></div><div>MAF isn't needed! How do you think the lockerroom will react to it, much less Talbot? There's no reason to trade Kaapo for an older g whose been worse this year, and could bring down Talbot confidence.

Change Carter yo 3rd round pick.</div></div>

MAF and Billy G played together in Pitt so there's a history there. Billy G kicked the tires on MAF before signing talbot and its a cheap price to pay for a guy that certainly gives you significantly more confidince than KK starting a playoff game this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CFMan</b></div><div>Not enough for MAF. Lankinen/Kappo would be a nice duo though.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aussie_Blackhawk</b></div><div>Only thing I think we will want is a 22' 2nd or prospect due to our shallow prospect pool. There is an oversupply of goalies which can be picked up in the off season on a free or low cost trade.</div></div>

Hawks get a goalie with solid upside and a solid bottom 6 center who is signed for next year, maybe billy ups it to a 3rd round pick but this is similar to the deal the hawks got for lehner, who was younger and better at the time.

Thread: Why Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I guess my point is that it's still actual money, for two picks that have a less than 1% chance of actually ever playing for the Yotes. You're essentially paying $4.75-$6.5 mil (Whichever) to get a couple of picks in the 160-170ish range, if not lower.

Alternatively, you're eating a guy like Ladd, paying the same amount or less in actual dollars, and getting back 2 x 2nd+3rd. That's a pretty significant difference, especially in a market where a ton of teams are sitting right at the cap.

I just think there's better ways to pick up cap out there. This is a mini move, that costs them in the long run.</div></div>

AZ also took on 8 million in real money and 5m a year in cap for this year and next. And the 3rd round pick is gone if he plays at all next year. The 5m for a cap strapped team is MUCH more significant than 1.75M, even if the wild are cap strapped. If the wild made it a 4th rounder and a 6th rounder from SJS would you think it's bad for AZ still? How much draft capital would it cost for AZ to pick up 1.75M of cap?
