A guy with a bass
You know how much can change in a year? Relying on Shattenkirk to hit free agency is a terrible plan if he's a player you really want.
Nash+Staal+Hayes for #8. We can eat all of Nash's contract.
The + will come from the NYR unless they retain 50% on Nash

Doubt that.
I think with no salary retained, it's Nash for Shatt straight up; maybe Ryan Reaves or some other undesirable coming to NY as well as a "cap dump" but nothing major.
With 1-2M retained it's Nash for Shatt and a pick or prospect.
Rick Nash still has a lot more value around the league than some think. GMs don't write a perennial 35+ goal scorer off after ONE down year. And he's only 31. It's not like he's 35.
Nash with minimal to no retention will bring back a nice piece like Shatt. Nash with serious (more than 25%) retention brings back a very nice package of young, cost-controlled assets.
Watch.
Oh FFS, do not trade valuable assets for a guy you know wants to come here, and who you can get for just $ in one year's time. There are no quick fixes for this team; we need to build for the future. If you want Shatty, get him next offseason. In the meantime, use Nash to replenish the prospect/pick/young player cupboard.
Stepan for Dvorak, Hanzal and the #7.
Hanzal and the #7 for the #3 and #64.
Nash with $2.8 retained for Shattenkirk.
Sign Stamkos 7 years $70 million.
Sign Riley Nash 2 years $3 million.
Sign Helm 3 years $9 million.
Buyout Girardi.
Kreider ($4) - Stamkos ($10) - Puljujarvi ($950k)
Miller ($4) - Brassard ($5) - Zucc ($4.5)
Helm ($3) - Hayes ($2) - Buch ($950k)
Lindberg ($650k) - Riley Nash ($1.5) - Fast ($950k)
Hrivik ($750k)
Forwards: $37.5 million
McD ($4.7) - Shattenkirk ($4.25)
Staal ($5.5) - Klein ($2.9)
Skjei ($950k) - McI ($1)
XXXX ($1)
Defense: $20.5
Lundqvist ($8.5)
Raanta ($1)
Goalies: $9.5
Retained/Buyout cap hits: $4.5
Total: $72 million leaving $1 million in cap room, 22 man roster.
Or instead of signing Helm have Dvorak as the third line LW and that frees up another $2 million.

Hell no.
Why the hell would we trade Hayes who is a young NHLer that will at worst be a 40 point 3rd line player, and at best a 60 point player for the 8th overall pick which might not even make it to the NHL?
And at the same time trading away Nash and Staal when we could get more assets from other teams for them?
One of the worst proposals here in awhile.
Eh Stralman couldn't crack the Devils way back when.
I mean I don't think anyone is suggesting giving him a 7-year contract.Stralman put up 34 points in 73 games at age 23.
Stralman was a reclamation project that worked out. At one point early in his career, he was good. This guy is some unknown 28 year old with no NHL experience who couldn't regularly crack the Flames lineup last season.
Signing him for anything more than 1 year at the veteran minimum as a 7D is risking it.
Normally I would agree but this organization does not have the assets to go after Shattwnkirk in a trade. Hope he hits UFA and try and rebuild through young players and picks this offseason. Otherwise you're going to be in the same situation next year with no one surrounding Shattenkirk and another UFA/Yandle situation.
Does he skate well? Good puck skills? Good passer? Good shot? Good hockey sense? Good without the puck? Does anyone actually have a scouting report on him and why he didn't play for the Flames last season?
28, no offense, couldn't get minutes for Calgary last season, 28 NHL games in his career, no thanks. You are relying way too much on advanced stats for this one.
You always get mad when its suggested to trade Hayes. Its nothing against him, everyone on the team should be considered for trades.
A reason to get rid of Hayes could be his work ethic. Will his best season be his rookie season? Another season like last season and his value is nearly gone. The team has to make a judgement call whether they think he will play like last season or like his rookie season.
Nash is worth about a mid/late first, Staal probably has minimal value with how much some teams are up against the cap, and I don't think Hayes is worth much more than a late first.
