Or…. allows for Mailloux, etc to develop in Laval.

If Petry stays to start the season, wonder what that means for Barron?

Could he be the player they package w Dvorak or another player for a targeted young player?

I don't think he's long for Montreal really

They mostly got 10M of cap space for the next 4 years, but yes, it’s a very underwhelming return but Pittsburgh was essentially the only team interested.

But for San Jose, that $10M of cap space is virtually irrelevant. They're a team that's going to be in the draft lottery for 2-3 more years, they aren't going to have a competitive team.

If they were, say, Minnesota? That's a different story.

Cap space is never irrelevant, it’s one of the most valuable commodity in the NHL.

...For contending teams. For teams in the bottom of the league, beyond taking on bad contracts from other teams, they don't care about cap space.

San Jose cared so little for capspace that they acquired 3 bad contracts from the deal, all three combine to more than what Karlsson made & they're holding on to $1.53M of Karlsson's deal, to allow themselves to receive a first round pick.

That's a pretty good market, and over 4 years it adds up. The can also load up on vets to trade away at the deadline while retaining salaries.

Grier fucked up royally

How the hell do you trade a Norris winner and first ballot HOF and not get back a legit piece for the future

Pitt traded 2 aging bad contracts , Habs traded junk and SJS gets back nothing but some cap down the road and a maybe draft pick

Sharks should of eaten 4 mil and made a much better hockey trade

Pretty garbage trade for SJS for not eating salary. Unless they are tight for money they should have retained salary to get a better package.
