jsm7302 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm excited to be disappointed by a lack of anything significant happening. Haha A center that could win face-offs would be an awesome acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 If they're willing to eat cap, it's for mid-round picks, just like the other clubs already doing this.

LindG1000 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm starting to believe that this is a deadline where there are contenders, sellers, and smart sellers. Four years of flat cap coming up means that there should be good hockey trades to be had if folks are smart. Let's see if folks are smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 No thanks, Quinn would put the dead cap space on PP2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think this makes the most sense. We're on the cusp of the playoffs, with the lowest chances of getting in but still having a shot. Gorton has proven to not deviate from the plan too much despite success, if you look at our trade deadlines last year and so far this season. I'm cool with this. Stay the course, and push next season. Set us up for the future. Even if we acquire picks and prospects, we now have enough prospects to trade tier-1 guys for established NHLers that fix our holes, while not feeling the impact from a depth perspective. The amount of defenseman prospects in general is mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Well Boston just acquired Hall so .....def don't make moves thinking we are getting into these playoffs. Next year. No D movement. A real defensive center who has astronomical face-off win percentage. Nothing else besides picks for expiring contracts please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’d be pretty surprised if we did anything. Maybe we’ll take a 4th for some cap space but I don’t know why we’d be making player trades. Was anyone else surprised that we have 9m in space? I thought we had literally no cap space based on bonuses and whatnot. #thecapisfake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only deals IMO should be to try ADA again, and try to move Smith for a 3rd or 4th rounder to a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was anyone else surprised that we have 9m in space? I thought we had literally no cap space based on bonuses and whatnot. #thecapisfake They had to operate as if the bonuses would get triggered. Kakko and Lafreniere probably aren't triggering anywhere near their maximum bonus (2.65M and 2.85M respectively). Kravtsov had almost a million in bonuses. Probably not triggering much, if any, of it since he just got here. Shesterkin with 2.85 million probably isn't triggering much of it either. Fox had almost a million and probably triggering the max there at least. I don't know where bonus specifics can be found to know what each player needs to do to trigger their bonuses, but I assume a lot of them are hard to reach.

Bonuses haven't been charged against the salary cap because they haven't yet been achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
