Brick Tamland Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 A good GM can move a player right before a decline and bring back some nice pieces (see Trevor Linden trade). With the Twins moving closer to their twilight at some point JB must have the thought of moving them. Their production dips too low for the intangibles they bring to be of value. So, if he were to move them, how do you do it? You have to move them together. You likely move them to a contender. The contender must be deep in their system. You have to get back pieces that can play today. Looking at options, you have to think the top 6 teams in the East would be ideal. Less travel on them and a chance to get a cup. I would be interested in what kind of pieces CDC thinks could be brought back. Every year that goes by, those pieces get less and less. Radko Gudas and Kucherov/Johnson out of Tampa Bay and maybe DeAngelo? It is so difficult, but I think instead of them walking like Nazzy or wasting away as 3rd liners here, you move them before they really decline.

wallstreetamigo Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They are not going to be traded. And even if Benning wanted to how many contenders have 14 million in cap space to accommodate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There is no contender that can take on the combined cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sestito Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There is no contender that can take on the combined cap hit. Bingo. You'd have to retain them by 2 million each, and there's no &^@#ing way I'd do that And I love them, so we'd need to trade everyone other than Horvat and Tanev in the organization before you move them.

HerrDrFunk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There's no way to do it. Unless the a good chunk of their salary was retained, no contender can absorb a $14,000,000 cap hit. That being said can you imagine what kind of return we could get for them? Right now both of them are in the 0.9 PPG range. I'm thinking we could get a top 6 forward, top 4 D, and a 1st round pick/A+ prospect. Who are we kidding though. They're retiring as Canucks and getting their numbers put in the rafters immediately afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Financially-speaking, it wouldn't be rocket science(retain cap, as mentioned) eg:Twins(retain 3 mill on 1 contract), Lack, Tanev(about 14 mill) Wash: Brouwer, Green, Kuznetsov, Madison Bowey, Chimera, 2015 & '16 1st rounders.(about 13 mill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 People, the day Gretzky was dealt opened the door for everyone to be traded. To say you don't because of Homerism is not what's best for the team. It's easy to say you don't. That is not reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The fact you included Kucherov and Johnson in the OP makes this not a reality Many of my Tampa cronies talk about trading Kucherov Johnson and Palat for the rights to Mc David. I do it but most of them wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
