Yep somehow managed to get retention in both deals today. Apparently 33 more deals awaiting trade call

Did we need the retention? He is a 1.85M cap hit. 1.7M of LTIR space going into the deadline and we shed Lagesons 750k.

Nice of montreal, but hope we didn't pay much for retention we didn't really need, unless there is something else coming.

When the trade was first announced, all the twitter bloggers where saying how great of an add it was. He can play 2nd pairing, showed all his stats, etc, etc. Then it was a bad trade as soon as it was announced it was a second considering Braun with zero retention got a 3rd and they felt a 3rd was fair. They paid a round earlier to get retention.

Toronto paid and extra second to get Seattle to retain.

If Muzzin is back the leafs need to chop their roster down a bit to make the room. Need to remove 1.9M of cap. Likely why they needed the retention on Gio.

Not sure what we would be afraid of coming onto our books with the deadline over. Already set to demote Turris to the AHL if he's back early. I guess we saved Katz a bit of cash.

I think it would have been hard to afford both guys given Holland's atrocious ability to manage cap without getting some retention.

Of course, the amount you should pay for retention at this point is debatable, because the amount in actual dollars is low, and the cap hit is meaningless for Montreal and Philly on an expiring deal. Honestly, should just have your owner send a cheque to the other guy for the funds and leave it at that.

Think Kulak/Laggy swap adds 1.1M. Brassard would displace another AHL demotable dude so that's a wash. Think we still end up with 0.6M of space no? And if Turris comes back we would lose 525k of that if we have to dump him in the AHL. And then we're just in Klef's LTIR space.

Maybe I'm missing something, like if we wanted to carry an extra roster player. Archibald coming back is a real pain, along with our generally terrible cap management.

I think the Oilers cap situation looks better than it should because they don't have a full roster available.

If Kulak's only at 50% plus Lagesson gone, there's virtually no cap change to that.

I agree that the Turris thing is idiotic. Also, not sure why we'd hang on to Archibald to play 6-7 minutes a night in every other game, but maybe no one was interested.
