TGokou Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Alright so I'm aware that after matching Philly's contract offer they can't trade Weber for one year. Since he's making 26 million in the first year due to a 13 million dollar signing bonus, there's almost no chance he will be traded after the first year. However, I am not entirely familiar with trade rules. I know in the past teams would trade money the other way, so my question is, can a team currently trade assets AND money to Nashville in order to soften the blow of the 26 million in the first year? Example: To Nashville: 3 1st rounders, Ryan Kesler + etc. + 20 million To Vancouver: Weber This situation would obviously be better than letting Philly get him for 4 1st rounders and would allow Nashville to escape from having to pay that massive 1st year deal. Any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGokou Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's not really buying the player. It's compensation for holding on to them for one year. The example trade I made offered 3 1st rounders, Kesler + whatever other player needed. The 20 million given to Nashville is only meant to dull the 26 million 1st year salary. In essence, Nashville pays 6 million for one year of service and then he is traded for the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Kesler and Edler are untouchable unless we have a player of equal or better production coming in to replace them, or we've simply given up and are going for a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Even if we wanted Kesler to be 'touchable' he now has a full NTC clause that kicked in July 1st. He aint waiving it to go to Nashville even if he somehow agreed to be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 According to CDC Kesler is a whiner and diver now, Edler is a terrible playoff performer based off of 1 series and he isn't as good as Weber, therefore they should be traded. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
