Thread: (TOR/ARI) - Ritchie, 2nd for Dzingel, Lyubushkin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Remember how for every rumoured trade people on CF overreact and way overrate how much Dubas needs to pay, and then they freak out every time when he gets actual value?
This is one of those times. This was always going to be the rough trade value.

Reasonable for both sides. I like the get. Leaves the Leafs with an expected 700k of deadline cap space and we can get more by waiving Dzingle or trading Dermott or Holl. Win-win trade.

Wonder when the coyotes need to chose which pick they will take? Draft day 2023?</div></div>

Honestly I think this is a win, as lybushkin would have been depth I'd have gone looking for at the deadline with a little room. I'd have paid a 4th for him. A 3rd next year is similar value to a fourth this year.

So dumping Ritchie and getting dzingel was nearly free. Good deal

IMO it's 3 throwaway players. None of these players are impact NHL players.

Toronto is giving up a 2nd/3rd round pick in exchange for 1.3 Million next year (Since Ritchie can simply be buried). IMO not worth it, but that's what happens when you're on the cap limit.</div></div>

Lyubushkin is exactly what the Leafs need on the backend, and Dzingel is a pretty decent depth option.

Thread: Seattle Kraken signed Ryan Donato (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rebecca</b></div><div>Every year people worry about this with [insert team with too many players] at [insert position] and it almost never happens. Two or three players at most, usually goalies, get snapped up during the pre-season roster crunch to get down to 23. Best waiver add in past few years has been Rudolph Balcers, which kudos to the Sharks, isn’t saying much.

The thing is, teams would then usually have to waive a player of their own (or take away a spot from a waiver exempt player who needs ice time in the NHL). What 14th best forward or 8th best defenceman on any team would YOU pick up on the waiver wire knowing you have to drop another player off your roster?</div></div>

Seattle is slightly different because they already had a too large roster right after the Expansion Draft, with only Joey Daccord being waivers eligible. As an expansion roster they have pieces that were enticing enough to be selected. As an example, if Kole Lind is put on waivers, I bet Vancouver would be one of the teams interested in bringing him back.
