Thread: CBJ CUP YUH 2 of 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riley816</b></div><div>Wow. CBJ cap dumps bringing back picks and prospects. Other team dumps with picks and prospects.

Why doesn't Vegas make that trade with Carolina next year??
Minnesota has 2 goalies next year. Not trading for Korpisalo.
The Calgary trade is obviously ridiculous. As is the Ottawa trade.</div></div>

Vegas wouldn't make that trade next year as we're giving up cheap depth and taking cap back, then flipping Holden as a rental the next season. Better for the cap situation for both teams.
Minnesota have 2 goalies, but neither are long-term consistent options. In the event that either underperform the next season, it makes sense to get a rental G that they could re-sign if needed.
The Calgary trade would only be considered ridiculous with recency bias, Max Domi is a proven top six forward that could fit with Calgary especially with underperfoming center depth.
Ottawa has the capability to take a bloated contract with the potential of the player rebounding, Nyquist is a solid player that could regain form and then be flipped later on.
