Confirmed Trade: [CHI/BOS] Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno (UFA rights) for Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula

[Empoleon8771]

Chicago.

Cap space is still a premium asset - they'd be stupid to take on space while getting nothing in return unless it's a very good asset. Neither Grzelyck or Rielly are that.

Grzelcyk is 10000000% a very good asset.

The cost to dump Reilly is probably a 2nd rounder and Grzelcyk has more value than a 2nd.

 

[JKG33]

I highly doubt it's Ullmark. There's probably 10 teams that'd offer positive value for him

 

[Brodeur]

I'm having flashbacks to the Avs giving up a second rounder for Philipp Grubauer and Brooks Orpik.

 

[wintersej]

Grzelcyk is 10000000% a very good asset.

The cost to dump Reilly is probably a 2nd rounder and Grzelcyk has more value than a 2nd.

And Bruins would just buyout Reilly before they moved a 2nd for him given his buyout cost is only 333k this year and there isn't a cap problem next year.

 

[PAZ]

Yikes. I don't think you know enough about Gryz.

Gryz is fine. He'd probably get a 3rd at the TDL (2nd if they retained 50%), but he's not an asset contenders value.

Is it worth it for Chicago to pay ~3 mil for a 3rd? I don't think so.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I highly doubt it's Ullmark. There's probably 10 teams that'd offer positive value for him

Ullmark also has trade protection.

The only Boston guys that are A) making significant money and B) don't have trade protection are:

DeBrusk
Reilly
Grzelcyk
McAvoy for some reason

Swayman and Frederic also don't have trade protection.

Somehow even Forbort has a modified NTC...

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I highly doubt it's Ullmark. There's probably 10 teams that'd offer positive value for him

Agree and I think Ullmark goes in a separate deal.

 

[dkollidas]

I would assume something with Taylor Hall. Save the Bruins $6M and give Chicago a running mate for Bedard.

Could also be Ullmark or Swayman?
Possibly Grezlyk?

 

[Forge]

I highly doubt it's Ullmark. There's probably 10 teams that'd offer positive value for him

Chicago could give a positive offer for him. I don't really view "cap dumps" as all having negative or no value. I'd be surprised if Ullmark got a ton in return and chicago has like 4 second round picks.

 

[The don godfather]

Reilly for a 7th hopefully.

 

[PAZ]

Grzelcyk is 10000000% a very good asset.

The cost to dump Reilly is probably a 2nd rounder and Grzelcyk has more value than a 2nd.

What team is going to pay more than a 2nd? He's an undersized PMD who gets abused in the playoffs.

He's great as a stopgap for a rebuilding/bubble team - but they don't pay a premium for an asset like Grzelyck. If Chicago wants to re-sign him I can see it happening, but if it's simply as a trade asset he's not worth much.

This is way too many teams. Ullmark's market is incredibly limited because the Bruins can't take back money for him while a majority of teams can't trade for him without sending money out.

Unless Boston can take money back, I think the market for Ullmark is just LA (if they don't trade for Dubois), Carolina (if they don't re-sign Andersen), Pittsburgh (if they don't re-sign Jarry) or Buffalo. I really don't see many other teams that make sense.

I guess Chicago makes sense too but I don't think they'd pay any value for him.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

for 23-24 Hall has a ten team no trade list. I have to imagine Chicago is on it, unless he'd waive, but at 31, I don't think he'd want to wait for the Bedard Hawks to be a cup threat.

 

[Guttersniped]

The names will probably leak then we'll sit here discussing it for days before it fizzles out.

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Cant wait to find out who the Cap Dump is in 2 days

 

[ryan callahan]

Chicago.

Cap space is still a premium asset - they'd be stupid to take on space while getting nothing in return unless it's a very good asset. Neither Grzelyck or Rielly are that.

I'd argue Grzelcyk a 3.6875 is a positive asset. Not a huge one. But one nonetheless. And one year of slightly negative value Reilly at 3 millions should offset that.

I think the devils make a ton of sense, but a lot of devils fans aren't huge fans of him.

That same logic would have Sam Girard as a negative value player with the money he has left on his deal.

 

[I am Canadian]

Hall would be good to secure more #1 picks for the Hawks.

 

[bossram]

It's Mike Reilly + depth pick for Future Considerations.

He's the only pure camp dump on Boston. If Sweeney wanted to clear cap space by moving Forbort or Grzelcyk, he could get a positive asset back.

 

[BHD]

Mike Rielly. The Bruins get cap relief and the Hawks get a guy who can provide some offense.

Even if LA doesn't acquire PLD, we still don't have the cap space for Ullmark after our RFA's are signed.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Reilly for a 7th hopefully.

Nah. No reason for Chicago to do that.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think the devils make a ton of sense, but a lot of devils fans aren't huge fans of him.

I could see them running with an Ullmark-Vanecek tandem, so that would make sense as well. I'm not sure they'd want to spend $8.4 million on their goalies and I don't really understand trading for Ullmark to just flip Vanecek.

 

[johnjm22]

Why would it be Reilly? It would make more sense to buy him out IMO.

Buying him out would result in a .333M cap hit for this season.
