two 2nds and a 3rd. You can't ignore Bolland's albatross contract. Florida would have had to include a 2nd to dump the contract on a stand alone basis. Steep price for a B level prospect.

It's ONE 2nd, and a 3rd.

And the second will most likely turn into a 3rd if Crouse doesn't make the team.

It should've been a 6th and a conditional 7th or something along those lines; when you're about to finish at the bottom of the league you can't be giving away good draft picks like that.

So you are attributing no value to taking on Bolland's contract? Interesting.

While I disagree with this at least it could happen

which part specifically do you disagree with most and why?

Any GM that trades a 2nd round pick should be fired on the spot

Florida just killed it getting rid of Bolland, adding cap space, and a spot for someone who can play plus getting picks...

So you are attributing no value to taking on Bolland's contract? Interesting.

When did I say no value??????

They have to reach the cap floor next season.

If Bolland isn't healthy which he is most likely going to be on LTIR they only pay $1.1 million per year according to the trade or 20%

so $3.3 million for the term of the deal


Obviously Crouse is worth more than what looks like to be two 3rd picks so the carryover covers taking on the contract.

Bolland is on LTIR the next 3 seasons? Serious injury? what happened? Saying Arizona traded two 3rd round piks for Crouse is a gross exaggeration. Lets stick with facts.

What is an exaggeration about being sent back to junior???? Which is most likely the case.

Our GM does it all the time

I don't think the flames will be that bad ...they improved their goaltending and got rid of Russell ...but I'm biased so like I said it could happen

- classic321

I am not disputing that he will be sent back to junior. I am saying that Florida would have had to include at least a 2nd round pick to dump Bolland's salary. So saying Arizona is acquiring a prospect for a 2nd/ 3rd or two 3rd's (if he is sent down) is an over simplification. Florida greatly improved their team/ financial flexibility by dumping a useless plug with a horrific contract. People complain about the Sbisa contract

Rangers really benefit from being the team in New York, always an attractive option for players

Side note: Looks like Green is safe, Av's hire their AHL coach

Yes, New York, the Florida teams, and the California teams have an advantage. Also, Chicago. Players are drawn to great Cities as well as warm climates with no media presence/ fan pressure.
