Thread: Cap Flexibility
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>Try again,

We aren’t giving you anything for Foegele</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>Ducks are rebuilding. They'd probably rather keep the pick. They already have enough vets to support their young players. Like Killorn.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Anaheim isn't below the cap floor, no one is.

Foegeles not a bad player and is on a decent contract, but when dumping salary, you don't get fair/market value for him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>Echoing above. ANA will pass</div></div>

Ok maybe a 3rd was a little too much, but mere hours after I posted this ANA acquired Lyubushkin (identical salary + term to Foegele for a 4th) so wasn't too far fetched lol

Thread: Seguin Reunion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_N1ll</b></div><div>Stars probably wouldn't accept strictly due to the fact Seguin is such a big part of the leadership, but that would be an incredibly smart trade for Dallas. Saves them just over $4 million a year after this one in salary and Coyle's contract runs out a year earlier. They are also set for the foreseeable future at center with a 1-2 punch of Hintz and Johnston, with plenty of options to fill out the 3C with strong options in Bourque or Dellandrea.</div></div>

Personally, especially if Duchene is a hit this year, saving that extra 4 million and an extra year of term could mean a lot in resigning him, which is a lot of the reason I thought of this trade in my head. Coyle can easily play RW and let Dellandrea take on 3C and Bourque will be up in the NHL in no time

Thread: 2024-25 Building for Michkov to join a Contender on a ELC
From an outside perspective, I like this. As an Oilers fan Michkov is long out of our grasp but if we're talking talent he's #2 in this draft. I'd look the other way if he goes 3 but if he slips any further it's an absolute steal. Firstly, you can't retain on 4 guys. And I really hope you aren't dressing that roster in actual NHL games. In the bottom 9 not one guy not named Josh Anderson isn't on their ELC. It's one thing to rebuild but you need SOME veteran pieces, look at early 2010 Oilers, you had the kids running the top 6 with soft-spoken guys like Hemsky and Smyth then they ran themselves out of town. I'd hope and assume you'd get some veterans back in hypothetical Dvorak, Savard and/or Evans trades. If not, sign up a o O30 U35 veteran to be a cap anchor or pick up a high AAV short term deal via trade
