For clarity. with EK and Hertl done for the year, SJ now has 17M in IR cap space to take on expiring contacts. Potentially 25m if they Retro IR couture for the season as well.
Take Ceci and we will take Heed, what's the cost?
Ceci will be on LTIR and its insured so not a cash issue

No teams are going to give up actual assets (however small) to trade their expiring cap dumps, that's just not a thing that happens because there are actual contenders that would acquire those players as depth. Toronto could trade Ceci easily if they tried and Bogosian at 50% is also tradeable. The only cap dumps you could take back right now that actually have negative value are multi-year cap dumps.
$4 million for an entire season of Ceci or Bogosian would be pricey, but at the deadline, it's only $1 million in cap space. If Buffalo or Toronto retains 50%, all but 6 teams in the NHL could afford them.

This title almost feels like an oxymoron. The "expiring" things, aren't the real "cap issues". It's the stuff with remaining term on bad bloated contracts that teams are actually worried about dealing with. The things nobody is lining up to take on...those are the cap issues.

Well its gonna cost alot more to take those on. No one wants to give up firsts but thats what it takes to get rid of Erikssons or Backes's
Brendan Smith 4.35 finishes next season.
how much?
5th for bal this season + 2021 nyr 3rd for next?

Isn’t it against the CBA to trade an injured player without his permission? Ceci would have to come off IR before he could be traded.
at the right, reasonable, measured cost would pay to move Smith now for cap nxt yr and minutes for merging guys

If he's LTIR, we don't need to move him...but for poops and giggles:
Dillon to TO
2nd+prospect+4th(for taking Ceci)+Ceci

Honestly forget about the 4th then, I dont care. I thought he was coming back this season. My focus in that case is getting the best pick/prospect combo available.

Oof yeah no interest. Hes got some skills but I think he is kind of a AHL all star kinda guy who never really makes itI don't want to name the B(racco) prospect....

Ya, i was kidding. How about 2nd+4th or Timoshov for Dillon? Not sure what prospect would work.

I stand corrected.
Smith may be something they consider for the 2 picks, but he doesn't finish til next yr, not this one.
The OP specified "later picks"...
I think a 3rd for 4.35 for a full season is roughly fair compared with Marleau at a 1st for 6 for a whole season.
I believe I said a 5th or a later pick for the last quarter or so of the season.
I recognize and to a pt am willing to pay to recover cap flexibility as OP inquires, but it has to be measured.
Worst case if I need to give mins to guys like Hajek, Smith can be buried in the A.
That would be different entirely and also likely not a conversation they would have. SJ surely isn't ready to admit they need to rebuild and will just consider themselves unlucky and try again next year.
