Thread: LTIR Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>That’s no where close on the Detroit deal. You can keep Ladd and Komarov unless you’re willing to offer us something of value.</div></div>

Mitch Vande Somple is very good Player, and if it weren't for Sebastian Aho, he'd probably be kept. with consistent year over year progression in all aspects of his game, he should be NHL ready in the next 2 years and has a top 4 ceiling. JHS is still very skilled very dynamic player, he would fit very will on a Dylan Larkin line. the kid is an NHL talent and with a chip on his shoulder he is going to light it up wherever he goes.

Komorav is not an eat. he's a solid pker, can play both wings and center effectively, is a very good locker room presence, is popular with younger players, he's a decent bottom 6 player and at 750,000 retained, the cap hit is in line with where it should be for the position.

Thread: dumping salaries
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>You might be able to get a 2nd Leddy but it won't be from Detroit since we're rebuilding and need to keep as many picks as possible. I think his value is more realistically a 3rd.

I know Komarov is good defensively but I still think you'd need to add a small sweetener to dump him even with retained salary.

That looks like a pretty bad trade for LA to me. Carter has two years left on his deal and is still playing at an NHL level. Ladd has 3 years left on his deal and is at an AHL level. You're also asking LA to retain on Carter. In compensation, you're giving them a 3rd and 5th which are relatively meaningless picks. If this base of a trade were to work, I think the Islanders would need to throw in a 1st.</div></div>

I adjusted the Carter trade to include more pieces going back to LAK. at the end of the day, I think Blake will deal Carter to a contender and is willing to take on salary dumps. I think this is as far as I would go to get him though.

I changed Leddy to a trade to Calgary. he is def worth a second and if they retained salary probably an additional third. they don't have strong skaters on the back end besides Gio. and if I was the CGY GM, I would rather have leddy for 2 years than Gustafsson for the long term commitment he will probably want.
