Thread: Dobson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I'd like this a lot more as a Leaf fan if it didn't include Bailey's bad contract. Dobson looks really good, and I think hard times are coming for the Islanders, they have many bad contracts that are going to cause them problems in the near future. Having Dobson is vital for their future. As good as Nylander is, I don't see the Islanders doing this, although Lou is really not a good GM, so maybe he'll be part of the Parise trade that is coming this off season.</div></div>

Bailey’s contract isn’t bad at all. 5 mil for a consistent 50 point scorer is market value more or less. I like the idea of pairing Bailey with Tavares in this scenario. They had excellent chemistry a couple seasons ago

Thread: No CBO - PIT DET trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>NJD trade is brutal, why would the Hawks move a solid up and down the lineup NHL player for a defensive kid that is 5'8" and bounces between the ECHL and NHL?

DET trade, we are trading a solid prospect in Kurashev and a NHL defenseman for a 3rd round draft pick from 6 years ago that has seen 9 NHL games in the 2018 and 2019 seasons total and can't stick on one of the worst teams in the league. At the AHL level, he is a .25ppg player. Again, this makes zero sense for the Hawks.

Regarding the PIT trade, Hawks have a logjam of LHD prospects including former 1st rounders so taking on another guy would not help out, is there another prospect?</div></div>

Let me take another swing at these trades

Thread: Big center shuffle BUF MTL EDM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Nashville is saving $6.75M in this deal, that's certainly worth a pick or two. If they were to retain even part of that it would lower the value of the pick owed to Edmonton. What do you think? Turris with $1M retained ($4M total) + a 3rd for Neal? It still saves Nashville nearly $3M.</div></div>

I don’t follow your math to be honest. But here’s my logic: Edmonton adds a mid-round pick to this deal because it saves them a buyout this year. Edmonton is going to have to buyout Neal to afford an upgrade at 3C unless they decide to go with a cheap FA like ennis or roll with an unproven rookie like marody. A 3C usually earns 3-4 million in salary. So Neal buyout (2mil) + 3C addition comes in at a slightly smaller cap hit than Turris. But Edmonton gives up way less for Turris in a trade than they would have to for other 3C options, and they avoid a buyout this year.
