Dynasty NHL trade for approval

[Rob]

Canadiens get:
G Michael Leighton, $1.6m (2011-2012)

Kings get:
D Nathan Beaulieu, $m (P-2011)
F Olivier Archambault, $m (P-2011)
1M Cash

veto because of your profile picture...

just kidding 

I accept.   

Thats a lot to give for a Goalie that probably will play the entire year in the AHL. PHI has Bryz and Bob, Leighton wont get a sniff all year IMO, so a good prospect, another prospect AND a million cash is pretty high price for nothing

I agree with Bean and I veto.

You veto guys aren't seeing the big picture.  The Habs gave up 1m in cash and took on 1.6m, but the brewcrew bid on Gomez so half of his 7.4m would come off the books for the Habs if I'm not mistaken.  A little back door dealing never hurt nobody.

I've gotta agree with Corey here.  Like it or not that bid on Gomez is part of this deal.  I'm inclined to approve but with 2 vetoes I'm going to send this to the ProFSL TC for approval.

Prior to this deal the Canadiens released Scott Gomez and will owe him $7.4 for 3 years.  Per DNHL rules if a released player is picked up by another team, the releasing team receives a 50% reduction to the players cap hit.  The owner of the Kings has put a bid on Gomez, so, behind the scenes here the Canadiens are receiving $3.7m in cap relief.

Well I already voted on tis one in DNHL and said Veto, so im staying the same as what if someone outbids LA on Gomez then the complexity of the deal changes. I see the back door dealing (which I didnt at first vote) so I understand where its coming from more now. Also, there are more than just LA bidding on Gomez (who could be a 50-60 point producer on a VERY low contract if won) and LA is not even the current leader in the bid.

I see the logic but still doesnt really make sence as anyone in the league could get to bid on Gomez and give MTL the cap releif, so giving LA 2 prospects and a Million in cash just to bid on him doesnt really make it approvable

[Jesse]

I veto like Beantown said 2 solid prospects and 1m cash for a guy who won't get a sniff of the NHL unless an injury happens is why to much. I understand the whole Goemz thing but this trade is not passable in my eyes. Sorry Boys

Realistically, MTL is getting $2.7M and Leighton for the two prospects.

That's passable no?

That's passable no?

Montreal is Giving 1M up and taking on 1.6M in salary to cut 3.7M of salary.  They net 0.9M in salary cap space.

But your not even necessarily going to win Gomez so why would you get 2 prospects and a Million in cash?? LOL

[BrewCrew]

Montreal is Giving 1M up and taking on 1.6M in salary to cut 3.7M of salary.  They net 0.9M in salary cap space.

It's actually $1.1M, plus the prospects are $.2M, so it's like $1.5M total.

But your not even necessarily going to win Gomez so why would you get 2 prospects and a Million in cash?? LOL

Gomez's contract is still part of the deal, whether I admit to it or not! 

Shedding his contract is a big deal

[Rob]

To me, whether LA wins the bid or not at this point is irrelevant.  You can make the argument that Gomez would have been bid on at some point either way, but that's also irrelevant since the money he's saving now is valuable given that FA bidding just started and there's lots of good talent on the market.  Montreal wants the cap space to use in FA bidding now and is willing to shed some prospects to do it.  I understand both sides of the argument, but in the end I'm going to approve.  These are prospects we're talking about here.  One projects to be a very good defenseman, the other is just OK in my mind.   If Montreal is comfortable trading them now in exchange for cap breathing room I'm fine with it.

       "The Blackhawks and Hurricanes Trade:
         on: July 12, 2011, 08:00:02 AM »
        Hurricanes trade:   D Tim Gleason and this years 5th round pick (....Ryan Strome)
        for
        Blackhawks:   G Cristobal Huet and this years 2nd round pick (...Blake Wheeler)
        This should help out the blackhawks cap crunch and I scoop up a higher round pick.
        Win, win

What is so different about my deal then the one approved without a veto or negative comment?
I think Michael Leighton has a better chance of landing a starting role this year than Huet. IMO

[Tony]

I have no idea why Gomez is even mentioned here. He is not part of the trade. I have also have no idea what will happen with Michael Leighton in the future. Nathan Beaulieu is good prospect so give the edge to LA in this trade. It is not too one sided as both sides are taking a some sort of risk. 

Canadiens get:
G Michael Leighton, $1.6m (2011-2012)
