So why do you cry so much when people propose trading out of the worst years of the deal.

I’m the only one not crying, and pointing at the tears flowing from people when there’s still great production from the player in the final years.
 
Well Tavares ain’t moving. I’d bet the house we are stuck with him for the duration of the deal.

That Severson contract is rich but def not surprising considering it’s 8 years in fucking Columbus.

Treliving has his work cut out. I’d probably move off of all of the pending free agents this team has and move some of the mid tier depth players making money(Jarnkrok, Brodie). We got way too slow the last couple of years. He’s got to find some hidden gems to round out the roster with more speed. Maybe even some guys with a bit of bite along with speed. We might have a bit of cap space at the moment but we clearly have some big holes in the lineup.

Brodie i actually like quite a bit but his game kind of took a dive in the playoffs. He’s getting older with a lot of miles and is on his last year. Wouldn’t be opposed to keeping him.
 
I don’t get the Tavares consternation. It’s only 2 more years and they have a tonne of cap space.
 
Treliving's job is pretty easy actually. Only tricky part is getting rid of Murray. Otherwise he'll have an elite team no matter what he does, with the capspace to put his own imprint on the depth choices no matter who he signs.

and Brodie had a great year and playoffs. He's not going anywhere.

But I don't get the need to pretend, in a league where NMCs move all the time, that Tavares is some special case where we shouldn't even consider the possibility of him moving.
 
Why would he want to move tho? He has to want to. Not just a message board wanting him to go. The fans as far as I know haven’t turned on him.

lots of players waive their NMCs for the sake of the team even if their first preference is to stay put. playing hockey for $11m is a fun job no matter where you do it.
 
But why waive when he likes it here?

this all seems like fairytales on a message board. I see zero reason he’d waive his NMC.

NMC are mostly inserted so you can control where you go if you need to go. No one wants shipped to the Bus if they can avoid it. Rarely are they ever activated if the team indicates a willingness and desire to move on

My Zeke is right.

The issue is, you're not going to replace him as easily as you think. He's still a great player, and you're trying to move him to free up a negligible amount of cap space. Anyone you try to get to replace his 35-40 goals will likely cost you $8M or more, so all of this brain space being wasted on moving him is to get $3M more of space over the next two years to do what with exactly?
