Proposal: Mackinnon for Hayes and Zibanajad

[Shootertooter]

Buch, Hayes, First, + Ok prospect. Sure, I'd do a quantity for quality. I think Mack would be insane on the Rangers.

I agree. This might be the only player in the league I would consider adding Buch for.

I don't think you understand the concept of a cap dump.

A productive player signed to a reasonable contract for what he brings to the table is not a cap dump.

It is not inaccurate, IMO, to consider that a player, productive or otherwise, who is a lesser piece in a deal, being moved not for productive balance but added specifically to get cap balance on salary, regardless of how large or small his salary is, functions as and thus can legit be viewed, IMO as 'a cap dump'.

What you are talking about is productive value vs salary cost, one such player compared to another [if I understand you correctly].

Comments like this just prove how ignorant 99% of HF is when it comes to players outside their own team.

Lets do some simple math... Colorado as a team scored 166 goals, MacKinnon had 53 pts meaning he was in on 53 of 166 goals, which means he was in on 53/166= 32% of Colorado's goals.

Zibanejad has 37/56=.66 pts per game*82 games= 54pts if he had played 82 games. So NYR scored 256 goals meaning had he been healthy all year he'd been in on 54/256= 21% of the team goals.

Had MacKinnon been on the Rangers this year and produced at a similar rate he'd scored 256*.32 = 81pts.

MacKinnon actually had a really solid year, it's not his fault that our team was completely incompetent, he did everything he could to contribute. In fact if you break down the numbers his 32% rate was with elite company. Crosby's rate was 31.5%, Backstrom was at 32%, P. Kane was 36%, McDavid was highest in the league at 40%.

I guarantee that over the next 5 seasons Zibanejab and MacKinnon will not have similar production rates, MacKinnon will blow Zibby out of the water. Numbers are on my side assuming that Colorado actually does something to get a better supporting cast. As that is the one thing a player can't control.

The whole point of Rangers overpaying for MacK is not just ^, but expectation there would be a synergy of him, Kreider and a fast C, presumably Miller.

Of course, there's overpayment, and there's a point at which it's too much to make sense.

bernmeister proposals are the best.

A --- you're too kind
B --- who am I to argue?

I mean yeah, the points will all equal out, and Hayes is great on the PK, but the impact that a player like MacKinnon brings to a team wins games. Did it this season? No, but that team had nothing in the bottom-six and no depth in defense once Johnson went down for the third season in a row.

The problem then is not your understanding of what a cap dump is; rather, it is your understanding as to what player constitutes a cap dump.

A player with value is never, ever going to be considered a cap dump because that player has value elsewhere if he was to be traded separately. A player like Tyson Barrie could realistically bring back a 2nd line forward.

A player like Francois Beauchemin would need salary eaten in order to be moved. That is a cap dump.

 

[scratchhayes*]

Av's have turned into a completely incompetent organization. They ask too much for their players.

 

[Foppberg]

What he said.

 

[haveandare]

The Avs are definitely not going to trade their franchise center for merely two wingers or players. Good draft picks and prospects must come back as well.

He's the center of a franchise that is struggling to put it very mildly, and it's two top 6 centers coming back.

I like MacKinnon and I also really like Hayes and Zbad and the depth we get from having them along with Stepan.

I wouldn't love or hate this deal as an NYR fan, but I'm a little surprised that people are acting like this would be a criminal fleecing.

I'm not that familiar with where Colorado is at franchise-wide – do they have a bunch of very high tier prospects? Are they committed to trading everything that's not nailed down for those type of assets? MacKinnon is a kid himself still.

But the if doesn't apply because there is a conscientious decision to do this deal and not another which gives you that option on the other player.

You are freely electing the opportunity cost described to do the actual deal, which is taking away forever the potential option you describe.

Nothing wrong with my understanding
You have a dif of op

 

[pld459666]

Conceding the fact that Nate is hands down the best player in this discussion

I'm not moving guys two top 6 centers for Nate

I'll keep the depth thank you.

Well, if that's your understanding, you might be the only person in the world who describes that as a cap dump.
