i keep refreshing this page incessantly, but the truth of it, is that the longer this goes on w/o news of a trade the stronger the flames bargaining position becomes.
i would just absolutely love to check CP at lunch on friday and read that LA got completely soaked in a trade with the flames.
for me the goal shouldn't be toffoli or pearson or really any of their prospects.
i would like to see it be richards no salary retained to CGY with no 'bad' contracts sent back to LA. (i don't see any of our contracts as having negative value)
as for the compensation for the flames, picks only please.
TO CGY
Richards+2015 1st+2015 2nd
To LA
2015 4th
to me richards is worth about half what he makes let's say 2.5Mil
so really the flames absorb 2.75Mil for 4 seasons and part of this one.
Let's say 12Mil in over-payment on that crappy contract.
The question then becomes, how much are LA's picks worth?
also ownership would be spending to the cap right now if they thought it would provide some advantage, so there is money being saved these last couple and next couple years that would have otherwise been spent anyways.
12mil for a 1st and 2nd next year?
too much? not enough?
