Two bad contracts and a middle 1st for a top 4 D?

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

While I'm sure Vancouver doesnt have an issue taking on a bit of cap space, seems like a lot to add on to the 19th OA pick for Edler

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Basically an unfair cap dump there.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Not enough going to Vancouver with the two cap dumps. Edler is worth #19 alone.

Philly has a shit-ton of cap space. They're not making moves centered around a cap dump. They have no problem eating MacDonald's contract for two more seasons and Lehtera's is up after this season.

This sounds like a bait and switch offer at the car dealership where they have a BOGO free on cars that they hope just gets off the lot..

 

[Lays]

Doesn’t Edler not want to waive?

The Flyers wouldn't do this. They have no urgent need to drop cap, as a matter of fact they will have more cap this offseason than they've had in a decade.

Hextall loves his draft picks to much to trade a first to get rid of MacDonald and Lehtera. Lehtera only has one year left, and we don't have any players expecting big raises until next offseason. If anything I could see Hextall using some of our available cap space to take on salary for draft picks.

Lastly Hextall and Hakstol both believe Macdonald is a solid defensemen. So there is no way they would dump him this year unless we signed tons of free agents, which likely wont happen. He is overpaid, but he is also a part of the team's leadership. He shares an "A" with Filpula.

The flyers have like 18 million in cap space. Id like to get rid of MacDonald just so our idiot coach doesnt continue to play him top pair minutes but Tanev's injury history scares me. He's surely worth at least the 19th, and he is the type of d-man we need, especially with Morin out til like February now.

Lehtera's cap is a non issue for us.

Yeah, not happening. We don't need to lose a solid pick for cap dumps. If Hexy gets the guy he wants at #14, he can trade the #19 for a couple other picks later in first/early 2nd. That would be better value than Edler short term. Lehtera is slow, but he actually didn't play that badly in the playoffs, compared to others. Now, if you'll take Weise, we can talk. LOL!

 

[Superlative Soup]

Not enough with those cap dumps but Edler won't waive anyways so moot point.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I can't say "Yes" to it because frankly, I don't think we could possibly use all of that cap space without screwing ourselves.

If you wanted to take just McDonald for a lesser pick, then I'm in.

Edler may change his mind with the sed8ns being gone or he may not. That’s not worth it for Vancouver. I’d be curious about 7 for 14+19
