You need to stop obsessing over things that don’t exist, or so I’ve been told.

I think "obsessing" might be just a slight overstatement.

Probably.

I'd like Tanev too, but we should remember that he turns 34 in December.

And has played a max 60+ games every year .

I would trade for him if it's cheap

Would a second and a lower-tiered prospect OK with you?

So Pesce’s rumoured ask on an extension is 8 years @ $6.5 million per.

I want this guy but 8 years is a lot for a soon to be 29 year old. 6 or 7 years I could live with, may have to bump up the AAV.

Worry about it in 5 years.

100% this. If you build your pipeline well enough - you can move higher priced vets to create room. Or if you hit the boom like Chicago did and win the cup. Tear it down! But if your team is playoff ready, combined with playoff advance ready...5 years is not a concern. 

[Mustache of God]

Maybe they can sweeten the deal by offering free Pesci's Pizza for life.

With it being 6.5mil I’m certainly tempted to take that approach. If he can unlock Power and give us a Top 4 that nears the top of the league then it’s certainly worth it.

I really wonder if the DeAngelo to Carolina deal that is being held up is because they are dealing Pesce. Carolina’s owner sets his price on anplayer and doesn’t budge. If the DeAngelo deal can’t happen till July 9th that puts Carolina in a spot if they are moving Pesce. Unless they deal him now and just wait for the DeAngelo deal to go through later.

What happens July 9?  (Or was that just a typo and you meant July 1?)

Carolina can’t re-acquire Deangelo until 1 year after sending him to Philly due to the retention Philly is doing.

No, technically they can’t consummate trade less then a full twelve months after he was traded between same teams. A CBA technicality that is designed to prevent teams from lending players to circumvent the cap. Kinda weird me giving you CBA advice.

Danke.

Didn't realize that there was retention on that earlier trade.

Nor the date of the original trade.

There wasn’t, however Philly is going to retain going back. It’s to prevent a guy signing for team, then being traded to a 2nd team to merely retain and then send back

What would be the trade compensation thihg?  6.5m per year seems fair enough but would Oloffson, Joker and a second get him?  Do they need an Oloffson type?

They do need a scoring winger, not sure if that gets it done though

What about a scoring winger, pick 45 with 50% retention on the mentioned scoring winger?
