First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
IMO
1. bread has full nmc so he will call the shots on this
2. stands to reason, he KNOWS he is NOT getting a new deal here, let alone anywhere REMOTELY close to his current $ #. He won't want to stick around til the last minute, so there is hope, although how soon he chooses to exit remains to be seen.
3. Cost: assuming he goes to teams he feels = comfortable fit, and Nashville is, the formula =
-- how many such teams [smaller # than all teams]
-- to what extent competitive bids are offered
-- of those, how many are in preferred currency for Rangers?
4. Understood some cap has to go the other way.
Rs will want as much cap relief as possible.

Given this ^ what do you suggest?
Breadman for Duchene + mid pick. Trotz has openly asked for vets with high cap. Interview today. He said he is looking for vets with high contracts. Team's have called him with high contracts. (Doing the math Preds should have 12-14 mil in cap AFTER signing everyone). Preds offer a state with no income tax. (I am a Preds fan living in NY state. I f***ing know the tax rate, or dear god I know.)
After tax income in NYC 9.65% vs TN 0% That is the incentive for Breadman
Cap wise? Bread is $11,642,875 vs Duchene's rate of $8 mil flat. $3,642,875 for 3 years. Both contracts are the same length. For the Preds that is $10.9 mil in cap
It is also a hockey move. Bread is a LW, Duchene a RW.
If you are into Corsi: Duchene is CF% of 58.4
I also hope this can lead an avenue to trade some of Nashville's midpicks for your 1st
This is my case for a deal
