Nashville might be ripe for the picking here.

 

If Trotz has a mandate to cut salary I would be after Sissons and McDonaugh with 50% retention.

3 years ago I'd be all over McDonagh at 50%. Now he's at age 34 I'm not so sure. And he has an NTC.

Sissons is on a VERY cheap deal. Would Nashville take one of Boeser, Beau, or Garlard with retention to get a similar salary?

Nashville eats 4 million a year for the next 2. Things you do when you don't manage your cap 

I dunno, I'm not sure how excited I'd be to retain 4M on a serviceable centre and just get back rights to Galchenyuk.  

 

Just not a prime example of "zomg the things you can do with cap space!!!111!!!"

I really don’t understand why Nashville does this??

 

Sure get rid of Johansen but to not even get a pick for retaining 50%?? Like aren’t they rebuilding? Where’s the motivation?

 

Allvin needs to take note. We should essentially be able to get a D man for free from a cash/cap strapped team.

Yeah dude, this is a wild move.

I think they're referring to the Avs, not the Preds..

Colorado gets a great player for free because they have cap?

Columbus got all the juice out of Jones and then fleeced the Hawks in that deal, I think theyre happy.

So who is worse?

Nurse, or Jones?

Nurse I'd say he can play solid defence. Jones goes from being dominant to just plain lazy. Both are grossly overpaid.

I don't know that Jones is so bad, he's definitely the best player on that team. I think its hard to look good there.

it’s Colorado that did something great with cap space…leveraged their space to get RJ at 50% off for scraps

He's a year removed from 63 points.

He's also coming off a 28pt campaign in 55 games.  GREAT isn't the word I'd use to describe him.  GOOD is fine in my books, especially being a big bodied RH centre.
