[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

The players that will replace them will not be free.

in all likelihood one of Davies/Walsh/T. Smith replaces Greene and they will be on ELCs

The players that will replace them will not be free.

Ty Smith on an entry level deal and likely mcleod on an entry level deal and then a small dollar amount bridge.

I mean sure if we COULD get a 1st for him, I'd deal him instantly

the problem is you definitely could not get a 1st for him

Plus even if there were teams willing to give a 1st for Greene no guarantee he waives his NTC on any of them with a year and a half left on his deal.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Greene would waive it for a chance to win

Teams will overpay

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Isles would make sense. In a playoff spot, not too far from home, adds depth to their blueline. As much as I would hate to trade a captain mid-season, I'd take a 2nd or 3rd even.

Do it Lou!

The Isles are the only team I could see both he waives and they offer a high pick for. I don’t think he’ll waive for just anyone to win this year when he still has another year left. I could see him waiving for more teams as a rental

 

[Edmonton East]

Could probably get a 1st for Greene at 40% retained from a top contender. You don't see large retention on deals with over a year left though, typically.

Anyone going to the game in Montreal this weekend?

After attending the game vs Toronto, no thanks

TML too

according to who?

I don't think that's because teams are reluctant to retain salary but rather teams are not willing to pay significantly for teams to reduce their traded players' salary. I just don't think it makes Greene valuable - he's probably worth $2.5M at this point, so the return for him on retention shouldn't be a whole lot

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

I hope management is smart enough to leave Blackwood down
