So that means if all you're getting is a 1st + Ceci you're actually barely getting a return for Tanev. |
I don’t put much stock in sites like that. Actual trades which are cap dumps in exchange for draft picks aren’t plentiful enough to be able to determine market value. It’s simply not a very liquid market.
The Flames did pay a first to unload Monahan but that may not set the market for all future deals, particularly in a rising cap environment and in a world where GM’s eventually start managing their cap better.
Now the Flames hopefully will be able to do better than that theoretical return for Ceci, which would be great. They also might not get anything for their cap space (or they might try to spend it all).
