It's in the description. Re-investing salary into a player who can possibly make a difference on a new team. The players I've targeted are also gone after this year. It's moving bad cap over to a position of need. There's no certainty any one of these guys doesn't thrive in a new environment with a new opportunity. It's not a 'wow' trade, but it's doing something.What is the point? Fayne's gone after this year anyways. Whatever you get for him doesn't make us better.
No, silly season is the in-depth discussion some posters insist on having regarding trades for players like Doughty, Tavares, or to a lesser extent Pacioretty. A lot of deals in the NHL are very literally nothing deals like this one.silly season
