Not in unloading Panik, he didn't. Cost Caps about the same to dump Panik as they just got back for Dillon.He has always shown good skill in unloading problem contracts. I liked Dillon and think the team will be easier to play against with him gone, but the cap relief over 3 years plus the strong return makes this deal a no-brainer. Because Schultz has just one more year, he can be moved at the TDL, if needed too.
He wasn’t bought out.I don’t see how we don’t end up with Holtby again
Not sure I even agree, but even if I grant that the Panik deal was bad, my point still stands. I didn't suggest he was perfect.Not in unloading Panik, he didn't. Cost Caps about the same to dump Panik as they just got back for Dillon.
If.. if.. we can move Schultz without giving anything up or taking cap back, that will be a big win.
- Spot opens up for TvR.
- Don't lose any of our own picks while gaining a pick or picks in a deep draft.
- $7.9 million extra in cap space (from Dillon and Schultz together) for Ovie, Sammy, another goalie and another FA or two
- Coupled with the $9M we already have currently (after bringing up Fehervary) and possibly $2.5 more with a possible Kempny LTIR.. should be more than enough space
Tuesday, but they would have to be on waivers by Monday.Monday was the deadline?
Damn, woke up ready to start a long and fruitless debate with twabby about overusing advanced stats and all, but after seeing Dillon gone im too distracted to go there.
well, atleast the adv guys are getting what they want. Im sad to see Dillon go. Our D looks very soft after the departure of both Chara and Dillon. I hope BM has more to come.
return was good though, even if i have been consistantly telling how little i care about draft picks at the moment.
Schultz is prob worth a 1st at the deadline, how much do we want cap space?
Context related to the timing in the season matters. At that moment we needed that space to fit Mantha, DET knew that and the TDL was expiringNot in unloading Panik, he didn't. Cost Caps about the same to dump Panik as they just got back for Dillon.
