Thread: making room for dunn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>CAR told TOR that they'd need a 1st rd pick to take on Marleau bc they were going to buy him out and his 35+ contract meant that the cap hit of the buyout was the full 6.25m, plus he had a full NMC. Not the same scenario as a team that would trade for Bozak. I just showed you what recent cap dumps have looked like - he's basically the same player as paul stastny when you break it down. If the Blues missed the boat when teams were flexible and they have to sweeten a Bozak deal with a pick, that's fine, but I doubt it would be the 1st rounder, that sounds way too high for a useful player.</div></div>

yea but also the blues need to get rid of salary, or they'll be screwed. A team like the red wings with lots of cap space can take advantage of that and get a lot more than they should in a bozak deal. I may have put the value a bit high but I still think it's not that bad of a deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Every other team dumped cap for value, aside from the Marc Staal deal - Gudbranson, Stastny, Schmidt, etc. So why would the Blues have to pay a 1st round pick to move Bozak? He was more productive at 5v5 and better defensively than Stastny was last year, and he's cheaper. He'd be a helpful piece on a lot of teams, and worth something at the trade deadline.</div></div>

I just did it off of what I've seen. That was the same price for the leafs to get rid of Patrick Marleau, who had a similar contract. And I know that Bozak was better but judging from what I've seen and the flat cap, I think that a first is fair value. Plus, the blues front office views Bozak as their third-line centre, which will bring down his value. Same reason why Montreal got so little for Domi
