Bruins would be taking back 1.3 million on a McLeod without retention, a player who isn't even in Colorado's line-up and signed for this year and next.
Who cares about Barrie and Johnson? Those guys are in their top 4. Have you seen the bottom pairing guys in Colorado? McQuaid could help them. I agree it's a hard contract to move.
But then again, your response to pretty much every proposal, regardless of the size or magnitude, is "why would team XYZ do this".
I recall you arguing with me months ago about the Jets and Trouba until I just gave up. Something along the lines of "Why would Trouba want to leave, Patrik Laine is coming, he's not stupid". Once again, like most things hockey related, you were flat out wrong.
McQuaid 2.75M vs McLeod 1.33M.
Colorado has 1.17M cap space, that's not a smart move for Colorado, McLeaod doesn't hurt Colorado with his contract even if he is sitting.
With Johnson and Barrie their RD side isn't exactly screaming for help, there are better ways to use that money.
What happens if Rantanen hits any bonuses, what if they want to add a forward during the season? You can say as well that McQuaid shouldn't be on the roster and he has 1 extra year on McLeod and carries clearly heavier cap hit.
I said if competing is what he values adding Laine
will help, not many teams have a young core like Winni has.
Right now it's pretty clear he doesn't want to stay in Winnipeg city.
I guess when you can't give an answer this is your response. I'm sorry if I don't agree with deals that just help the Bruins, because those aren't very likely deals to happen, I apologize that I dared to ask why woud Colorado make a trade that makes no sense for them.
