Doesn't make sense to me. So we would be trading JVR and basically Twarynski in exchange for 3.5M of cap space? That's a stretch. What is even a bigger stretch is why would Seattle do that? - MJL
if seattle got jake for 4.5mil, thats a good deal for them. I think jake has more value than that for us. He is still a good player.

Only thing that makes sense as far as trades go would be if CF gave Seattle something not to take one of the other exposed guys, like Braun, Hagg or Sandstrom.
Otherwise, the situation doesn't fit the profile of an induced selection. - Tomahawk
Very good point, but given those 3, that would be minimal.
I suspect after today Seattle fills out roster more through trades than UFA signings. To leverage their cap space and get the picks and prospects and young guys their draft strategy is clearly targeting.
And btw, I strongly suspect they have the next 2 drafts pick positions very much in mind. |

Brian Lawton and Bruce Boudreau are the absolute worst -- how they are on the NHL network boggles my mind -- but they are the same people who employ ej hradek |

Hypothetically, yes. - MJL
ya, well lets try not to speculate, I really think CF is not that dumb. Maybe Jake is gone, but I think CF will not cover more than $2.2M, because Jake is still a good offensive player that is priced right at about $6M per. |

I’ll gladly eat crow if I’m wrong on this. Just the feeling I got when I looked over all the leaked selections and thinking about all the side deals in the last expansion draft. There’s more to the expansion draft than what we’ve been shown so far. |

Yes it is, but they would want more. They have the leverage.

We're in a flat cap era. Cap space is gold and that is the market. Team's aren't looking to do other teams any favors. If you want to move cap, expect to get screwed and the team in the drivers seat is Seattle.

Yeah market and what they will do are 2 different things. I stand by what I have been saying, let jake have a good season and look to move him next season. Unless the deal is fair and fits the plan |

The AV is better at my corporate sales meetings. ESPN is a joke.
Edit: just saw this is an NHL produced event. Which makes far too much sense. |

I can tell you the media in Boston is pissed Lauzon was left unprotected, they are calling for Sweeny's head. He was Boston's 2nd best defenseman this past season. |

lol, I know it’s not a finished product. And I know they have added some pretty good players. But as currently constructed, this Seattle team totally sucks. |
