<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Oh dear God, another Joey Anderson trade.....

I could see OTT 3rd being of interest, but what does Joey Anderson add to that offer?

As for Meier, SJS would take that (even though Kerfoot offers them nothing as an ecpiring UFA and Robertsons value is at a low point) but with 3 mil retnetion this year and 5mil retention for the next 2 years, thats worth about a 1st and 3rd by itself, so its Meier for low picks in the round 1st and 3rd?</div></div>

Anderson has 2 less goals than Puljujarvi in 40 less games. Edmonton is obviously going to make a deadline deal so having Anderson for 750K helps their depth and clears cap.

As for the Meier deal I think it's close. Horvat was just dealt with retention for a protected 1st, borderline cap dump, and a prospect. 2 1sts, a 2nd, 3rd, Robertson, and potential to retain and flip Kerfoot to a contender for another 2nd/3rd for 1.5 seasons of Meier seems like tidy work. Especially when that cap space is of no use to SJ next season anyways.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The whole premise behind the presumed idea that Ottawa would consider trading Matt Murray to Toronto is that the Senators would save money, either in cap or actual cash or both (almost certainly the latter). But a Muzzin-for-Murray-with-50%-retention deal is a money loser for Ottawa on both counts. And the rest of the trade becomes Brown and Brannstrom for Kerfoot, which just compounds the inequity.

Right now Ottawa has a cap hit of $6.25 million and owes Murray $15 million over two seasons.
This deal would result in Ottawa having increased its cap hit to $8.75 million (Muzzin's $5.625 million and Murray's half-hit of $3.125 million) and it would owe the two of them $15.5 million (Muzzin's $8 million and half of Murray's $15 million).

Even Dorian can't be that stupid. SOMEBODY in that front office has a calculator, even if it says "Texas Instruments."</div></div>

Kerfoot is owned like 500K and Muzzin is owed 2M a season while his cap hit is 5.6
