Gus has a 1.2M cap hit. Cap space is of no concern in a trade for him.
The Barrie rumors were a day old and already wearing on me. What would a Gustafsson re-sign look? He had the 60 point season but that is clearly an outlier and he is very much a defenseman you have to shelter.
4M, 4 years?
Gus+Quenneville
for
2nd/3rds + Pirri
?
Your getting ripped off at that price
Also Pirri can piss off
Seriously though Gus is atrocious defensively
Good thing PDB is used to Burns and EK65.Your getting ripped off at that price
Also Pirri can piss off

Pirri might want to stay in the Chicago area with the Blackhawks & Rockford.
If they don't re-sign him right away he could be looking at 5m+. If they give him 4m it might be a mistake.
Maybe he should just be a rental until they decide he's worth it.
We got a 2nd + 5th for him. I'd argue we got more than he's worth. And that's with Buffalo knowing about our cap situation.You trust the same management that gave Colin Miller almost $4m per and then shipped him off for almost nothing right after?

Well we can do this without clearing cap, but would need to clear cap when Tuch goes off LTIR. Clearing cap could mean sending down Whitecloud but I don't want that so send down or trade Merrill, or do something with Holden.So we would require no additional moves to make this trade? We have enough cap space and still have Glass/Roy and Whitecloud/Hague when needed?
I wouldn't mind putting Merrill in a space capsule and sending him into orbit.Well we can do this without clearing cap, but would need to clear cap when Tuch goes off LTIR.

It's not counted for. Right now we can't activate Tuch because we're 15k over the cap, 700k under with Quinney back in the A, and a 22-man roster(which includes Whitecloud, Merrill, & Holden). If we just got Gus we'd have a 23-man roster which includes 9D, and we'd be 500k over the cap with Quinney back in the A.Eakin's cap isn't there anymore
