Thread: Buffalo completes the rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Yeah I don't love it, but if the neck thing disappears I see no reason to bash the trade value. Just looking at the Blues team for the future though, losing Thomas and Neighbours and adding a 10m long-term forward makes it extremely hard to keep the band together. It probably means no more Perron, no more ROR, no more Kyrou, and the guys that would fill around Eichel just got traded away for him. Basically, the window becomes 2 years, and then the team painfully dissolves to nothing but bad immovable contracts and a star center. Would be a fun ride though, and you could trade Eichel in 2 yrs to trigger the rebuild, which would be peak irony.</div></div>

With Eichel, Schenn, Buchnevich, Saad, Faulk, Krug, Parayko, and Binnington locked up long term, I don't expect it would prevent them from locking people up all that much. Likely lose Perron, but at 33 that might end up being better anyways since he could command more than he's worth. O'Reilly, Kyrou, Sundqvist, and Barbashev will need new contracts in 2 years, but the cap is also supposed to rise by $2m.

So $7m left in cap space (including current cap space after the trade) + their current contracts to sign those 4 players. That's enough to resign O'Reilly at $9m, Kyrou at $6m, Sundqvist at $4m, and Barbashev at $3m.

Thread: Buffalo completes the rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>When you look at the oilers roster who do they need more tarasenko or kosk? I think it’s more likely smith will need help covering an 82 game season than oilers needing help scoring goals pretty sure that part is already well covered. Could take out broberg and the first oilers still have to decline it has nothing to do with value of assets it’s about what the team needs more currently that’s kosk.</div></div>

I agree Edmonton would need another goalie, but nothing is stopping them from trading for one. They'd save $0.75m in cap space with that trade and could then look for a goalie that's more capable than Koskinen or at least as capable and also cheaper. They could check in on goalies like Kahkonen, Vanacek (imo they should've made a play for either one before the expansion draft), Montembault, Korpisalo, etc. Washington gave up a 2nd to get Vanacek back, clearly they could have paid that.

Smith will be done soon and Koskinen won't cut it. Sooner or later they needed to trade Koskinen and find a better replacement. If they waive Stalock &amp; Archibald, and make the trade I'm proposing then they'll still have $5.03m in cap space to find another goalie and take back salary, and their forwards will now be:
Hyman-McDavid-Puljujarvi
Foegele-Draisaitl-Tarasenko
Perlini-RNH-Yamamoto
Turris-Ryan-Kassian

Thread: Eichel to STL Tarasenko to EDM BUF retains half
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>I don't think you read the explanation by the author. BUF is retaining the 50% (can't transfer on a 3 way trade post on CapFriendly). The one thing I actually meant to add to my post was that I didn't think Eichel was a good fit for STL.</div></div>

There would definitely be risk, but it's a small price to pay if Eichel returns to form and if he does, this would give them one of the best teams in the league. In terms of the pay scale, he's signed long term, the deal was made my another team, and he would be the clear best player on the team. STL could use an elite offensive player to get back to contending and they have lots of depth at centre and could afford to move on from one of Thomas, Sundqvist, or Barbashev. Why I think it could be a good fit is because it would be like a Pettersson-Horvat combo; no one denies Eichel is the better player, but this would still clearly be O'Reilly's team.

Tarasenko also wouldn't have a ton of value due to his cap hit, but to a team like Buffalo, he would be a great trade chip to have, because if they retain 50% then he has lots of value.
