Thread: My Ideas for the New Era
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc22</b></div><div>I’m just gonna assume at this point you don’t know how the LTIR stash moves works and your just ignorant because the same thing happened with Weber and it’s been widely speculated by both local and national guys that Flyers are actively looking to trade Ellis to a team in need of cap space and wants to dump a bad contract or restructure e.i. Myers/Wheeler/etc. Paying the team taking a bad contract and you taking an LTIR guy creates the necessary cap space a team needs and that’s quite literally how it goes and obvi the team getting the cap space will have to pay for it</div></div>

One year of cap space is not worth it. Not even close. This team didn't even make playoffs. Even a one for one swap isn't worth it. Also, Van has been trying to get out of LTIR all year. They aren't going to do that... I don't care how ignorant you assume I am.

Thread: My Ideas for the New Era
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc22</b></div><div>Yeah Ellis is all but retired, he’s not ever going to play again it’s an LTIR trade like Weber’s contract. You would basically cap dump Myers on us and just need to place Ellis on LTIR every year to have the cap space so no you would need to pay us for taking him. 2nd might be too much but 3rd and 4th is probably close to being right. I would just recommend researching on stuff a bit before just commenting if you literally don’t even know what you’re commenting on.</div></div>

Hang on... So you dump a massive contract and Van PAYS YOU for it and you get the player still playing? No chance. Zero. Nil. You'll have to pay to unload that kind of money. No owner is like, "hey, can we blow $40 million for zero return? I'd love that".

Thread: Tweak it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Boeser, 26 yo last 258 games <strong>80 goals</strong> with a $6,650,000 salary
Olofsson, 27 yo last 257 games <strong>81 goals</strong> with a $4,750,000 salary

Dries, 29 yo career <strong>122 games</strong> 26 pts $762,500 salary
Jost, 25 yo last season <strong>71 games</strong> 25 pts $2,000,000 last salary

<strong>So why does Buffalo need to give up the 39th OA in this trade?</strong>
Buffalo will keep the devils they know rather</div></div>


Boeser is by far the better player. More offence. More term. Younger. Jost doesn't have a ton of value. Dries is a depth forward, nothing more, but useful. No one wants to play in Buffalo and Olofsson will leave for nothing in the offseason. At least Boeser will be there for 2 seasons, maybe seeing enough progress to stay. The 2nd makes it fair value.
