There are 16 teams currently on LTIR. Many of the top teams have to resign some of their players, or would be trying to add. The $4M cap increase is going to help but not that much.
This creates an opportunity. A team might be willing to move a first to get a bad contract out of town. MTL did this by taking on Monahan and a 1st. Arizona was doing it for quite a while. The point is that we can take bad contracts and embrace the suck.
Would you be opposed to a Markstrom for Campbell + 2 1sts and a 2nd trade for example? Or maybe take some guys that are under-performing in Colorado in Johansen and Girard.
