Won't need to dump Määtta. He'll get a buyer.
Fabbri also won't need a 2nd to dump - there's a chance he won't even need to be dumped, he's a good player.

I would think you are off by about a million dollars for Montour and probably 500k off on Debrusk

Better than I hoped

IDK. Just opened this up because I have no client's till 3 today and got really sad about the future of this teams cap.

Why the hell would you pay a 2nd round pick to get rid of Fabbri?
Sure, he's oft-injured, but he's still a solid middle six, half point per game player when healthy. Eat some of the contract, and you can get a pick in return, not one give... Certainly not a 2nd! Maatta has value as well. You don't have to give up picks to trade either of these players... And you made a comment about me giving up a 4th to get rid of Holl? lol

What's your job?

Stevie Y and the Holland Plan. 😬

CHI might accept that. It's fine on paper. I just don't know if they have the space to do it.

You might accept? You'd be getting a half point per game middle six winger and a 2nd round pick for nothing. Of course you'd accept. It's a dumb trade. I'd also "accept" Athanasiou and Tampa's 1st round pick for free...

lol. Right... An injury prone overpaid player in decline... Nah. I'll stick with "might accept". If you actually dig into CHI's roster, current situation, and what they have stated they are trying to do going into next season, there isn't a lot of space for streaky injury prone cap dumps. Sorry, my guy.

I don't really care to dig into Chicago's current roster or cap situation, but what I do know is that Fabbri would've been the Hawks 5th highest scoring player last season, despite missing 14 games to injury... Fabbri is not a cap dump. He most certainly has value. A team would give up a pick for him (salary retained), not gain a pick...

Sure, bud.

On a lot of CHI (majority) trades, I tend to agree with the local fan base. Here however is a wildly misconstrued view.

At 1 x 4, Fabs will be giving more production than UFAs who sign at that AAV. He also doesn’t carry extra term, lowering risk. Added to the term, it also makes it easier to move him with retention.

I completely get the injury concern, very warranted. In saying that, last year he did slightly overcome that. He was consistently out there at big moments on PPs, and taking key draws (very solid FO%). Worst case scenario he goes on LTIR and the 4M means nothing. Best case scenario is he gets near or hits 20 goals, provides Chicago a bit more offense, and returns around what you received to get him in the first place.

Detroit wouldn’t be looking to dump him, especially when there are several other more pressing concerns.

Fair enough. To CHI he would be though. I don't think he is a fit anyway. From CHI's exit interviews it sounds like they are more concerned with getting gritty high motor role players and character guys who can play defensively and help protect leads to make games closer and give them a chance. If Bedsy and Kurshy build on their chemistry, Reichel and Korch take steps, and Nazar comes out blazing like he did at the end of the season, their scoring should be decent enough to feel like progress.

Detroit’s not trading a 2nd to move Fabbri lol.

If there isn’t a market for him, they’ll either retain for an asset or just ride his last year out.

whoops sorry boss. I'm in Sales

Sell me something.
