You also have to consider that Stew was injured almost all last yr too then eh! When healthy he is a PPG or more player. I think in the other trade (MTL Trade) that went through we set a precident that the cap dump allows for a bigger gap, if we let that deal go through, I dont see why this one gets un-approved.
Not that this trade affects me directly, but just my opinion that a 6 million cap save is a HUGE bonus as they can be 2 more good players. And it seems Stewart is being under-estimated a bit here as he is a start RW in fantasy terms
Stewart has yet to be a ppg player, he is close and he's getting better every year, but Malkin is proven to be more than a ppg player. I'm not under-estimating Stewart, he is a great young talent on the rise, but he is yet to show he can produce at more than a ppg, maybe he would have last year, but'll we can't know that now. Also I thought from the get-go that the Montreal trade was even, and the cap space gained was only a few mil per year. I'm fine with deals that save Cap, I approved the Sabres/Pens trade no problem, but this is a different thing entirely. I've been thinking about this one really hard and I
veto.
