Edm and Van Trade

[abbyroad]

Edmonton and Vancouver agree to the following trade........


C/LW Logan Couture, $6m (2021-2022)
C Aleksi Heponiemi, $m (P-n/a)
G Spencer Martin, $m (P-n/a)
X- 2018 1st Round Draft Pick, Vancouver, $m this year

for

X-C Connor McDavid, Discount Eligible, $0m this year

I hate to be the Peter Pocklington of DNHL but my fiscal responsibilities gave me not a lot of options........... I really like my return as Couture is no slouch in his own right. Pick up a decent prospect a 1st round a save 4m..........
Thanx Westcoast for the back and forth........... and enjoy the best player to come along in the last 20yrs...........Cheers

Cheap I think.

Canucks confirm the trade

Didn’t think Couture would be gone this quick as he’s a favourite guy of mine.

Losing Heponiemi was a tough part of the talks as he’s a future stud offensive guy himself, he’s been tearing it up through the junior ranks and looks pretty solid in the Memorial Cup so far. Had to give up a piece like that to get the deal done though as it’s McDavid, plus a decent goalie prospect which never know with them a few years down the road.

Tough negotiations but got things done. Thanks Abby

Before I vote on this I am wondering if Edmonton has a full grasp on the Discount for prospects on their extension.  He mentions saving 4 million in cap however
McDavid's extension as #1 ranked center is 10.5 mill,  at 70% is only 7.3 million.  Couture is 6 mill in reality Edmonton is only saving 1.3 million. 

I am leaning to veto as I feel like this might be a new guy not grasping the full value of the rules on this one.  I will wait to hear back though before I vote.

Agreed.  Drew is not saving $4m here.  I don't think he calculated the discount.  Moreover this looks like less of a return than Draisatl.  I'm very iffy on this one.

I’m all for making trades to clear up cap room. I just wouldn’t do it with a 21 year old superstar.
