The Trade Machine

A fun little tool at capgeeks.com you can run a trade. Here's the one I pulled off with the Avalanche for Danby Meatley:

We could do worse than Quincey, Wolski and Svatos. Not a bad trade at all.

I like Kyle Quincey, but he's no Jack Klugman!

Seriously though, the Kyle Quincey experiment in Colorado has run it's course. Time for a fresh start in the Nation's Capital.

Heatley, Schubert, Kelly, and Smith for Penner, Cogs, Gilbert and a pick (preferably a 1st)

Ottawa gains approx 2.5 in cap space among other pieces that can help now and in the future.

Edmonton gains the elite winger they need and a checking center that they have been looking for. Smith is a salary dump and Schubert becomes a depth dman to give the oil d prospect another year to develop.

I know eh, his attitude was horrible as soon as he got off the plane and stepped on the tarmac, was complaining about the quality of air, the air is better in Ottawa.

I did a trade using the lovely trade machine involving Dallas/Ottawa, bring Loui Eriksson, James Neal, and Trevor Daley to the Sens, and sending Heatley and Auld the other way (again, not speculating this would happen or not as it may be nowhere near fair value)

It works though from a certain standpoint, gives Dallas their back up goalie, gives them a 50 goal scorer, they have 19 players under contract with their cap being at 50,475,000, arguably enough room to sign 4 more players to bring their roster to 23.

As for the Sens, it gives us our 23 players, our cap being 53,799,999, which gives us a lot of room for injuries/bonuses/call ups with like 3 million available. What a lovely little tool this is for armchair GM's.

You better be kidding me. This is an absolutely awful proposal.

We can talk Smith into retiring, joining Luke Richardson with the coaching staff and dumping his cap that way.

We need Chris Kelly. Suggesting we dump his salary is ridiculous, because it's only 2 million, and he's the kind of player we need on our third line.

I just hate everything about this trade. I didn't like Heatley for Penner, Cogs and Smid- so why on god's green would I like this? You get an upgrade in Gilbert and a 1st for Kelly, Smith, and Schubert? Man I dont know.. not for me.
