it all depends on the asset you are protecting. it doesn't make sense for us in the current situation, but if brady skjei was eligible to be picked i have a hard time believing that you would rather lose him for nothing then to give up a pick to protect him and lose a 4th liner instead.

also I am jealous Vegas is potentially getting Gusev's rights
If he actually comes to the NHL, he could be something special

If the Rangers can get a good return on Nash, I could care less where he goes
If you can get the Hawks to give you a great package for a retained Nash, you do it
Who cares if it's "helping" them out

Yea lets keep him and let him walk next July and lose him for nothing.. Instead of taking advantage of a good opportunity to get young players/prospects/picks that we desperately need?
And we wouldn't be helping them out by retaining a good chunk of change. You take advantage of the cap space you have with JT, Hayes, Skjei, Buch and Vesey on their bridge and ELC deals, and then you increase the package you get in return.
I'm not sure how you don't see this as anything other than a perfect scenario.

If VGK gets Theodore, I would pay a lot to get him. Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for them to move him, though.
I dont care if we move Nash. But people are ready to eat so much of his salary. We are already eating some of Girardi's salary. And to be honest I am not impressed with Chicago's system, certainly not enough to retain any money on Nash.

That is good, very good. The Stars opening up that cap space should put them in the running for Stepan. They need to step their **** up if they plan on getting back in the playoffs in the Central again.

Yeah because what they need is a $6.5M center to play behind Seguin and Spezza, not a winger or improvement on the blue line. C'mon.

Yeah was just thinking about this too. Maybe Vegas was afraid they could protect "all" Ds and let them pick a forward? I think it's pretty even steven between Theodore and like a Silfverberg. Would have required some vets waiving NMCs though.
I don't see what Girardi's salary has to do with anything?
If they keep Nash, they'd be eating G's salary while paying Nash's in full. Move him with money retained and you're saving cash.
DeBrincat would be a very nice piece to bring back and he isn't too far off from being NHL ready IMO.
Not for nothing, but Seguin played a **** load of wing last year and Spezza is only signed through the end of the 17-18 season.
Zuccarello makes more sense if we're talking Dallas though.
Yeah, I thought he would screw up when there were talk about 8 goalies lol, was probably just a smokescreen.
Let's see though, getting a good team is most important. Picks are needed too, but it's secondary they are way overrated at this place.
