Thread: Pittsburgh deadline deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RandomGuy1</b></div><div>Actually, we don't even need retention on Vermette as you can see with my moves there is plenty left in cap space. Questionable if he can get a 2nd. He's a bottom line center, has some ability to play 3C. That's more 3rd round pick material.

Oduya is UFA. So is Chris Wideman. Ottawa takes on salary by replacing one of their UFA defenseman with Hunwick. His cap hit is still reasonable, but I threw in bottom 6 NHL ready prospect as well.

You also have to consider Penguins are asking to add salary on Kane. Teams don't retain salary for free. The team is also overloaded with wingers if you don't ship out Sheary in the deal. I stand by that deal, all of them really, and would likely just modify the Vermette deal to forget the 5th and the salary retention, as it isn't needed.</div></div>
Vermette got a first before and Boyle got a second last year.

Ottawa doesn’t want to take on salary, thus it makes no sense.

You’re seriously saying we should trade Sheary++ for a UFA Kane? I like Kane and would trade for him, but the difference between Sheary and Kane isn’t Gustavsson and a 1st PLUS the fact that Sheary is signed cheap for two extra years while Kane is a UFA.
