I could pull players all day long that teams might want to move

Leafs trade Nic Robertson and first 2022

Flyers trade Konecny retain 50%

So many teams are in cap hell and are paying a player too much cash on a long term deal. It sinks the entire payroll structure this is the case here. Leafs over pay and get flyers to eat half of the contract.

Explain how a team retaining 50% of a good sized cap hit for long term helps them out of cap trouble. Flyers would have $2.75M in dead cap space and have to replace Konecny with someone else for a maximum $2.75M just to break even.

Flyers get 2 assets here Robinson and a first. So they rebuild. I’m not saying it’s perfect situation for flyers but they gave this player too much term and money . He is almost earning what nylander does. Look at flyer contracts. Look at Dallas Jamie Benn ant Tyler sequin . Dallas flyers and Islanders are in cap hell.

Does everyone think retention is cheap?

Think about it like this. SJ doesn't want Kane anymore. If they could dump that contract for 2 1sts they probably would but no one is willing to take on salary for that long unless it's a massive overpay.

Looks like DM has two accounts now or added a younger version

You understand that Konecny at $2.75 is an absolute bargain, right? He makes $1.5M less than Nylander which is hardly the same. If Konecny was at $2.75 for another 3 years, what do you think it would take to acquire him? I bet more than Robertson and a late 1st.

RLF maybe I couldn’t access my first account Crime.

So you have two accounts like 1 said. Seems you got back into your 1st account and the case is solved.
