Most of the time when a player must submit a list it is actually teams that would not trade for them essentially making their no trade lust the whole League. As an example let's say Kessel puts Toronto, Philly, Boston, Winnipeg, Tampa, Chicago, Vegas, and San Jose on his list. That kinda means he gets to decide where he goes.Interesting. Maybe the small number of suitors that are actually on Phil's list will drop the acquisition cost a bit.
Right. I meant his actual go list. Like the one in his head.Most of the time when a player must submit a list it is actually teams that would not trade for them essentially making their no trade lust the whole League.

In theory but if you are the player that a team tells the world they don't want his list will expand. And if he made a critical error and he can go somewhere he might not actually want to go to....he has an incentive to accept others. I don't see Phil wanting to be any team's centerpiece.Right.

So Pitt saves just over a million and gets worse??Blowing this thread up apparently haha.
What does a three way deal with Minnesota and Pittsburgh look like for Kessel?
To AZ:
Phil the thrill
To Pitt:
Zucker
To Wild:
Fischer
AZ 2nd
Pitt 2nd
Why would Minny do that?Blowing this thread up apparently haha.

Only one of the 3 teams do that deal.Why would Minny do that?
Minnesota would absolutely trade Zucker for Fischer and two 2nds. No doubt.Why would Minny do that?
Minnesota needs scoring, why would they give up a guy who gets twice as many points for a couple of maybe draft picks??Minnesota would absolutely trade Zucker for Fischer and two 2nds. No doubt.
Minnesota's got tons of left-shot forwards and one righty (Kunin), and the players Fenton's rumored to have targeted in a Zucker deal are all either RW's or centers. My guess is he'd like someone more proven than Fischer, but it'd be similar to the bets he's already made with Fiala and Donato: a young guy that's shown an ability to score goals in the NHL and may take a step forward with a new team.Minnesota needs scoring, why would they give up a guy who gets twice as many points for a couple of maybe draft picks??
Fiala is Significantly better than Fischer right now. And Donato was a low risk try for a pending UFA.Minnesota's got tons of left-shot forwards and one righty (Kunin), and the players Fenton's rumored to have targeted in a Zucker deal are all either RW's or centers.

No chance Pitt downgrades for a $1.3 savings and just over half the production. They would be a worse team with little money to improve.And Pitt makes the trade because of the cap dump and receiving an adequate top 6 forward in return that they likely wouldn't be receiving outside of this deal
Coyle has a year left on his deal and there seemed to be pretty broad interest in him.Fiala is Significantly better than Fischer right now. And Donato was a low risk try for a pending UFA.
The GM's have already agreed to Zucker and Rask for Kessel and Johnson. The hold-up is Kessel, not the Penguins.Pitt gives up an 80 pt player and a 2nd for a 50 pt player to save $1.3 million, I doubt it.
I worry that Zucker's cap is too close to Kessel's to make enough of a difference. Remember, Toronto is retaining.And Pitt makes the trade because of the cap dump and receiving an adequate top 6 forward in return that they likely wouldn't be receiving outside of this deal
