Hockey trade D for forward is a good trade don’t know why y’all are so pessimistic. Season was imperiled when Ullmark hurt himself. Go take any other team in the league and injur their top goalie and see how they deal. Hutton was actually good in stretches last yesr, his collapse has been epic

We lost our starting goalie to a freak accident and our back up goalie is a tire fire this season. Goalie problems are hazard to fix. Our prospects with promise are still young.

This board was going crazy because he was waiting too long for a trade. Now he’s an idiot for not waiting longer? Can’t win with you lot

Seriously send Hutton to the AHL he is AWFUL

What the hell Reinhart

Who was offsides ***** these refs

What a trash penalty call

Carter Hutton

You were adding Miller and another

And just like that we’re 6 ptns out with 20 games to play

What? Yes Team needed bodies and PK help. Frolik was both. Look at anything Toronto has been doing. That’s cap penalty

If Frolik didn’t exceed your expectations I am concerned about your assessment of players. Our PK has been better and we aren’t fielding Wilson and Dea every game still

no, you just want to hate on Botterill The price of cap space, especially at deadline time when teams are desperate, is a premium in a hard cap league that's had enough years for all the teams to build-up on their contracts but go ahead and change the title of the thread and still exclude the 50% retained tidbit...

you're thinking about your math wrong. all that matters for cap hit is dependent upon where you are at a given-point in the season. They're retaining the equivalent of a start-of-season $2MM cap hit but let's take your other bold statement: "JB just mis-timed the market and mis-evaluated how much Scandy would yield in trade." So, what you're saying is that it wasn't important to find players to help fix the PK as early in the season as you could get another team to take on the cap hit? Wooo-- well if I remove all contexts surrounding my comparables it's no wonder you are confused on player's real values

that's literally the difference in the closest comparable (literal previous trade) when cross-checked with what other teams paid just for cap, it also fits

want to fix the title? 2nd round pick was for the 2 million in cap retention at the deadline for comparison-- toronto paid a 1st round pick for 6 million pre-season (bought out)

You are perfectly capable of saying 'best underlying statistics' instead of 'best defenseman'

These are also crazy prices. Hockey trade, stand pat, and sell last-second if teams really do get desperate and would include a 1st rounder for any of our rentals

they could have had cap saved up (capfriendly is dead to me ? )

I think everyone agrees with this

can we stop using the words 'best' to describe fancy stats that are heavily dependent upon quality of competition and minutes played?

He had a 1C last year, which is another solution to his woes that Krueger has refused to do for more than a few shifts.

2C may be what Skinner needs. He really needs puck retrievers on his lines and he hasn't had many.

Overpaying for rental ROR impressive. They could have done that for no assets. Here’s a blast from the past of reporters mocking ROR for asking for 6.5: http://blogs.denverpost.com/avs/2014/06/17/ryan-oreilly-agent-now-preparing-arbitration-case-didnt-think-wed-attend/18548/
