I don't have the day off work like I have had on occasion for past deadline days. The occasional phone update and then checking in for everything that went down at the end of the day will have to suffice. I'm going to miss the ongoing chatter as the deadline nears and then passes. At least a little bit.

Before trade

• Senators have 4 seasons @ 7.5m for Ryan. Thats $30m in salary and $29m in cap space.

Trade objective:

• Senators want to cut salary
• Flames want to upgrade RW
• Flames don't want to ruin cap structure going forward

After Trade:

• Flames have 4 seasons of $4.5m = 18m salary and $17.5m in cap space
• Senators have 2 seasons of $4.5m (Brouwer) and 4 seasons of $3m (Ryan). That works out to $21m in salary, so they cut $9m cash dollars right away, and even more if they decide to buy out Brouwer.

Much like the Dion deal did for the Kings, the Ryan trade would help the flames now, and have the potential to turn out ok in the future if Ryan rebounds. For the Senators, much like the Dion deal, this trade allows them to cut $9m of salary (and even more if they decide to buy out Brouwer).

Will never happen. You are going to convince Troy Brouwer who stated before coming here he was building a house in Calgary to waive his NTC to go to a rebuilding Senators team? Troy Brouwer is not moving today.

Dear lord yes, it’s to the point when I open this thread i usually look for a twitter quote or I just keep scrolling because I know it’s just Armchair GM deals.

Didn’t we have a SureLoss only thread a few years ago?

Gionta signed with Boston a one-year, $700,000 deal, and will make approximately $158,000 for the remainder of the season. Just saw on fb

Initially I thought no way, but he's actually on a pretty friendly deal and if the Habs took some salary back, this could actually happen.

Again guys, Commodore is trolling for the lulz.

Bennett is almost certainly part of the return of that deal happens. Flames do not need to be trading for 30 year olds with one year left then wanting a big pay day in their declining years.

All I’m saying is that I was skeptical because I thought the flames wouldn’t be able to fit Patches into the cap structure, but certainly they could after checking.

[EldrickOnIce]

Bennett is part of the return for any 'big' deal today.

I don't see one out there right now that is worth that.
