Sundin Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Time to use our cap space and weaponize it for cap strapped teams ... 1. Trade Nikita Tryamkin and Reid Boucher to WASH for Brooks Orpik, Philipp Grubauer, and 2nd Rd Pick (FLA) - WASH frees up cap space to re-sign Carlsson, Wilson. Samsonov will backup Holtby 2. Trade Grubauer, Bartschi, Tyler Motte to CAR for Noah Hanafin and 4th Rd pick (ARI) 3. Trade Tanev, Markstrom, Gagner, Orpik (50% retained) to BUFF for O'Reilly and 2019 1st Rd Pick (SJ) 4. Trade Sutter and Hutton to EDM for Nugent-Hopkins 5. Trade Nugent-Hopkins, Stecher, 2019 SJ 1st Rd Pick, 2nd Rd Pick (FLA) to OTT for Karlsson 6. Trade Goldobin and Del Zotto (50% retained) to NASH for Dante Fabbro 7. Draft Dobson / Hughes / Bouchard / Boqvist 8. Sign Tavares - 7 years $11 million CAP ~$70,000,000 Still have room to sign a UFA forward (eg. Vanek, Perron, Neil) and UFA veteran D-man (Enstrom, Schenn, de Haan) Pettersson Tavares Eriksson Dahlen Horvat Boeser Leipsic O'Reilly Virtanen Archibald Gaudette Granlund Gaunce Edler Karlsson Hanafin Gudbranson Juolevi Fabbro Pouliot Biega Dobson / Hughes / Bouchard / Boqvist Nilsson Demko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 that would be the single largest week of trading in NHL history. Fails at step 1 tho. Grubauer for Marky maybe, since Grubauer is looking for a starter role and WSH wants a good backup. Orpik isn't a cap dump. Boucher isn't getting a 7th, let alone a 2nd. Nik is a giant question mark right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Maybe it's just me, but I think 'weaponize' is the most ridiculous phrase to use in relation to sports trades. It's like someone heard it on TV once and now they think it's cool, but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 What about Bobby Ryan? What would it take for us to take on that contract? They have the 22nd pick in this draft aswell, is that pick high enough to make that move for us, and would Ottawa even want to part with that pick? Otherwise what player/prospect/asset are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like someone heard it on TV once and now they think it's cool, but it's not. Actually as soon a salary caps were introduced the term "weaponize the cap" started being used. The available cap space has been a trade item for some teams. About the cap, isn't it odd in the NHL that no team has ever been publicly scrutinized for being under or over the cap? The Yotes were under the cap minimum and were supposed to give up draft picks one year, that was in evidence at the bankruptcy hearings, I just found it odd that there have not been any mistakes at all. Thank goodness for CapGeek and now Cap Friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeydew Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yeah, I'd rather keep our salary cap to sign our RFAs in the next year. I wonder who's going to be our most costly RFA that we need to sign............. Right it's Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Neilsons Towel Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 A string of trades like this would literally never happen. I appreciate the effort though! Maybe you should put down the NHL 18 controller and go enjoy this gorgeous day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Reminds me of that story about the guy who started with a red paperclip and through 14 trades got a house in saskatchewan. But here we basically get Hanafin, O'Reilly, Karlsson, and Fabbro. Losing no high end players.... Might as well get JT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
