Thread: Kyle Dubas Would Be A G for this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>python3504</b></div><div>i never understood why players dont do this more, say sid next season says ill do the same thing they would get a kings ransom for him and they would still have him.</div></div>

They don't do it because of the risks involved. If any word leaks out that a player has this kind of agreement, his value is completely tanked and no one is going to trade anything of value for him. Say Guentzel did something like this and word leaked, other GM's will know he's not signing with their team and would be a pure rental, so you're probably only gonna get like a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him maximum. Under the table contract agreements also run the risk of the league finding you guilty of tampering and punishing you for it with major fines, loss of draft picks, and potential voiding of the signing all together. It's a very risking play as one slip of the tongue can completely derail the plan and leave you 5 steps backwards instead of forwards.

Thread: (ANA/CAR/TOR) - Lyubushkin for Slepets for 2025 3rd (TOR), 2024 6th (TOR)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>python3504</b></div><div>So this is what i dont understand, why does everyone seem to hate the deal?

ANA acquires LBUSH 2.75 for a 4th round pick - everyone says good trade they will flip him for a higher pick at the deadline

Leafs acquire him for a 3rd 50 retained and shell out a 6th for another 25% so he comes to the leafs 675K below league min - everyone says its a bad deal but they needed a right shot D.

so ana got exactly what they thought they would and the leafs paid what everyone thought they would, yes he has bad numbers but so did Benoit but look at him on the leafs, he is performing way better.</div></div>

Then add on, they need to compete with Boston or Florida, they need to be physically superior bc that's how you beat these teams...

For those saying the double retain means they will make another move, they don't have the cap space. On deadline day they will send down Robertson and afterthey will waive Jones and call Robertson back up. The only way they can make more space before the deadline while leaving enough space for Jarnkrok to come back is to waive/trade any of Gregor/Reaves/Giordano/Lagesson/Timmins before the deadline. It looks like they want to keep Reaves as he has been contributing more lately, then Lagesson and Timmins are too valuable as injury depth. That leaves Giordano, who could pull a Spezza and threaten to retire if claimed, and Gregor. It doesn't seem like they want to put Giordano through waivers even though he would clear, and I guess they want to keep Grogor around in case of injuries... so that's it, this is the roster. I personally would have gotten rid of Gregor so that you have more space for a better players than Lyubushkin but they didn't want to do that. Part of me thinks with Giordano going down tonight, and McCabe playing while banged up, they wanted to complete this trade before they announced any injuries and teams drove up the prices knowing they were in a bind... <img class="for_img" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHk-FvUW8AARlmZ?format=png&amp;name=large" alt="GHk-FvUW8AARlmZ?format=png&amp;name=large">
