NYR should try bern preference, to add quality youth that is cheap[er] now and can remain as foundation pieces, leading to stable lineup helping with chemistry.
NB -- larger packages can be broken into smaller deals so HFB compliant
1. nyr - ana
Goodrow 3.641+ x 4 [incl this season], ny eats almost half 1.641 = 2.0m cap hit + prospects Othmann, 6'0, 175 lefty shot LW, 21, 863,333 x 3 + BMB (Bryce McConnell Barker), 6'2, 196, C, 19 elc 870 x 3 + Berard 5'9, 196 lefty shot LW, elc 867.5 x 3 + rights to Pajuniemi 24, 6'0, 196 righty shot RW, + Vesey 800k expires next season + Bonino 800k expiring + Leschyshyn 766,667 x 2
total cap = [2+ 863,333 + 870 + 867.5 + 800k + 800k + 766,667 =] 6.967,500
for
Zegras 5.75 x 3 [incl this season] + RD Lindstrom 950k expiring + elcs F Jacob Perreault 863,333 x 2 then rfa + D prospect Helleson, elc .925 x 2 + Ana 2024 + 2nd + SJ 2024 3rd + ANA 2026 + 2027 3rds
total cap = [5.75 + .950 + 863,333 + .925 =] 8.488,333
cap dif 8.488,333 - 6.967,500 = 1.520,833 savings to ANA
but Zegras = LTIR w/broken ankle, so short term NY has 5.75 -1.5 + = 4.2+ wriggle room
This is 8 assets for 7. It is 7 signed contracts for 4, which takes ANA up to, but not past, the 50 contract limit {Pajuniemi unsigned but Leschyshyn gets ditched}
Basic rationale: Ana adds F, particularly W prospects w/upside now to accelerate return to contention; loses Z who prefers back east, so dealing with this now instead of later is useful if they get enuf which they do; remember Zegras outta commission coupla months. NY gets a young pivot and prospect RD help, Gabe’s bro, and couple of picks.
Additional factor: Zegras out w/broken ankle, Goodrow playing recovering w/fractured jaw
Why Ducks:
Key piece is Othmann, a quality W as main piece back for Z.
Goodrow at 2 is immediately valuable bottom pivot w/Strome while Carlson + MacTavish are top 2 Cs big picture. BMB could replace Strome after coupla seasons marinating, Berard , Pajuniemi each has good shot and may compete earlier, possible add/possible depth piece to replace Vatrano if you sell high on him. Bonnino is ass except for eating pucks, which is no big whup, but also VG on FOs, which is good skill for him to pass on remaining half season.
Why Rs:
Zegras is long term F foundation piece.
Helleson is actual righty RD with size; hopefully creates depth now and is heir when Trouba phases out.
Loss of good prospects mitigated by good picks which helps repurpose cap.
Ditches coupla vets, promote Edstrom, give Rempe a look
2. NYR-DET
Lindgren 3 per expiring w/rfa + Jones 812,500 x 2 w/rfa
total cap = [3m + 812,500=] 3,812,500
for
Rasmussen 1.46 expiring w/rfa+ 2nd
cap dif 3,812,500 - 1.46 = 2,352,500 savings to NYR
DET gets 2 D, can spare Ras, pick
3. NYR-OTT
LaF 2.325 x 2 then rfa + rights to Gabe Perreault + Jacob Perreault 863,333 x 2 then rfa + Wheeler 800k expiring then ufa + Vesey 800k x 2 expiring then ufa + NYR 2024, 2025, 2026 1sts
total cap = [2.325 + 863,333 + 800k+ 800k =] 4.788,333
for
Sanderson 825k [then long term 8,050,000 per x 8] + Chychrun 4.6 x2 then ufa + Grieg 863,333 x 2 then rfa + Pinto 775k x 1 then rfa + OTT 2024, 2025, 2027 2nds
total cap = [825k + 4.6 + 863,333 + 775k =] 7.063,333
cap dif 7.063,333 - 4.788,333 = 2.275 savings to OTT
8 assets for 7, package can be broken into smaller deals
Why Sens:
OTT is apparently in extreme trouble; thought I read somewhere not only cap but have prob fielding full roster. Also, over next 3 yrs must forfeit a 1st. Are putting up Chych. Desperately need younger assets to manage roster but also return to respectability by being competitive. Appealing to fan base couldn’t hurt.
This is achieved with painful surrender of Sanderson. Howev, they are getting 2 foundation pieces [LaF, G. Per.] for 1. While picks are only an upgrade, they are getting the better of that. Instant cap relief, Vesey is quality for 4th liner, and Wheeler = cheap stopgap facilitating moving Tara which = another 5m cap recovered if they go there. Perreault x 2 + LaF = guys that appeal not only Ottawa but also Quebec region, showing they are not ceding anything to be 2nd rate to Habs. Loss of Grieg and Pinto are winces in that both are pivots, but overall F is not weak and they can run Stutzle + Giroux as top 6 Cs.
Why Rs:
Sanderson. You get his prime youth, his 20s, at a hair over 8m per, which is initially slightly expensive but a bargain over time. He is Fox’ new partner. Sandy at 8 will help keep KAM to get paid like he deserves, but not a crazy #.
Then add Chych, who like Gustaffson can play either side.
Scanlin should compete outta camp. Fortescue 2 yrs away. Hopefully finally given a chance Robertson looks good. Next season, we sell Chych as a rental.
Then of course there is adding both Grieg and Pinto, helps w/pivot depth. Are ok on cap short term.
4. NYR-LAK
Shesty at half [5.666.667 at 50% =] = 2.833,334 (rounded) x 2 + Grieg 863,333 x 2 + RD Lindstrom 950k expiring
total cap = [2.833,334 + 863,333 + 950k =] 4.646,667
for
Byfield 854,167 elc then rfa + RD Clarke elc 863,333 x 3 then rfa + cap dumps as below
kings have < $2k cap space so Rs take acceptable cap dump Roy, 3.15 expiring who NY will send w/acceptable pick/prospect [Sykora?] to MON for elc Barron in follow up deal [or highest bidder]. That is still not enuf so Rs also take scrub TJ Tyman 787,500 which is enuf and puts Kings cap space in 7 figures. Tyman + 6th offloaded for a conditional 7th
total cap = [ 854,167 + 863,333 + 3.15 + 787,500 =] 5,655,000
cap dif 5,655,000 - 4.646,667 = 1,008,333 savings to LA
Why LA: While not good for max window size, this is a good move to improve current window next 5ish yrs, assuming after next season you first extend Shesty 5 or so yrs [which you have inside track to do]. Also while Grieg does not have presumed Byfield upside, he is short term solid add at pivot. Loss of RD prospect is a wince, but you are adding a Vez quality G
NY gambles Quick + Domingue hold the fort while heir Garand gets ready to become starter by next season.
You gamble Kreider - Byfield - Zib = very formidable
and Clarke helps w/thin RD now improved
Conclusion
Rs swap youth for youth, pay for privilege, but properly repurpose assets, adding pivot depth and improving D at cost of gamble in net
If extra cap needed when Chytil + Zegras return they can sell coupla bodies
Kreider - Byfield - Zib
Zegras - Tro - Panarin
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Rasmussen - Pinto - Edstrom
= 4 extremely deep lines, Reserves: Pitlick, Brodzinski, Rempe
Sanderson - Fox
KAM - Schneider
Cychrun - Trouba
w/Gustafson, Robertson, Helleson, Clarke, possibly Barron all = depth, pushing
next yr Trouba prob to DET for cap space
play nice...
