Confirmed with Link: [COL/MIN] Ian Cole for Greg Pateryn

[Richard88]

I've always wondered how GM's prefer to communicate how a player is available.
I like to imagine that every GM is in a group chat together, Sakic puts out there that Cole is available, and while all the other GM's are replying with crying laugh emoji ole Billy G slips right into Sakic's dms to ask what he wants for Cole

Probably goes down something along the lines of the 2 scenes below.

Should have gotten Minnesota to throw in Hammond to revisit the Duchene trade.

The Duchene trade tree... the gift that keeps on giving...

This is one of my favourite Cole moments. Game 3 against the Flames and he gets a shorthanded breakaway leading to a goal.



I can't find the full clip but if I'm remembering correctly he had another breakaway immediately before this play.

Look at that deadline cap space... $10M

We are aiming for some big fish??

This doesn't look good. Cap dump.

That $10m capspace projection is based on the current capspace of $2.3m. Once Miska gets taxi squad'ed again though we'll be up to $3.1m in capspace which projects to around $13.5m in deadline capspace. Needless to say I think Sakic has something brewing with this much capspace.

We are living exciting times. I can't believe this is true after all the years of struggle.

 

[Pokecheque]

Forgot that Pateryn is a RHD. That right there gives him an edge over Cole. Cole could play the right side in a pinch but I don't really think he was all that good at it.

In any event, that's precisely the guy you don't mind having in the press box. It would've been an issue with Cole in there, now there's no need to fret about it on either side.

Can someone explain where we will be getting all this cap space from? Thx

Capspace is averaged over the course of the season, or 116 days total. Any time you're under the upper cap limit you're "accruing" that unused capspace so you can use it later in the season.

Having $2m in unused capspace right now means that we're saving $17,241 of capspace today, and this capspace can be used later in the season. Tally that accrued capspace up over the length of a season until the deadline and $2m in space actually allows for around $9m in accrued capspace at the deadline.

This is simplified but I hope it gives you an idea.

Because at the deadline only about 22% of the cap hit of each player is left to « pay ». So a cap space of 3M$ allows for the addition of about 3/.22=13.6M$ new cap hit via trade deadline acquisition.

With Pateryn at RD and Gilbert at LD we have our 8th and 9th dmen ready.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

We made a trade with the Mild....

That’s Taylor Halls music

Man, Dater really went out on a limb with that take, real insider info there.

He did put it out there, which was common sense mostly but it’s possible he heard whispers. But there is absolutely no excuse for this from him:

Byram has yet to sign a pro contract, but that could come shortly. It would be an entry-level contract.

I wouldn’t count on all that deadline space, who the hell knows how it will be used up for injuries and other roster moves by the deadline.

 

[Richard88]

Imagine the scenes...

Landeskog ---- Mackinnon ---- Rantanen
Hall ---------------- Kadri --------- Burakovsky
Nichuskin ------ Compher ------ Saad
Calvert --------- Bellemare ------ Donskoi

Toews --- Makar
Graves -- Girard
Byram -- Johnson

Of course we're unlikely to have $13m+ in deadline capspace, as there will be roster shuffling due to injuries and what not.

However, we won't actually need anywhere close to that given that we'd only need to cover 22% of a deadline acquisitions' caphit. Meaning that if we acquire Hall for example, we'd only be on the hook for $1.8m of his $8m caphit.

So even if some of the 'projected' deadline space gets used up for various reasons over the course of the season, there will still be plenty of space for a big deadline acquisition. And it seems to me that Sakic is setting himself up to make a big push this season when the roster is probably as competitive and deep as it's every going to be given the impending raises to Makar/Landeskog/etc.

We would still have to trade important pieces for a player that we would struggle to be able to sign. It’s an expensive rental, and I’m not sure the team even needs one to win a cup. I think longevity through prospects and drafting is the better route.

It’s time to go after Gibson - Newhook + Gru for Gibson

I’d hate to lose newhook, but Gibson would be the final piece to the puzzle. Anaheim can finally rebuild and not have a great goalie ruining their draft position and add one of the top non-nhl prospects.

I’d rather see Newhook play in the NHL before we trade him away
