Offseason activity (trade value wise) discussion..

All is see in this thread is complaining for the exact reason there is a salary cap to create parity in the league.  The elite talent should cost you more it just forces you to make decisions and lose some of that talent.  A good GM will always be able to stay at the top buying low selling high and drafting well.  Trading for guys like Giguere or Gomez who were terrible contracts in the NHL backs you into a corner.  You guys have elite teams and all 3 of you have good young players and lots of prospects and picks to work with so I don't really see what the issue is.  

The salary cap problem is a great thing for the weaker teams around the league and will probably speed up my re-building process if I can find more good youth and plug some holes at a reasonable price.  It might also lead to some free agents signing more than 1 year totally inflated deals which can only help.

Think about it, the market decides the market. If you are a Minnesota and you are interested in say...Brad Richards from Colorado, you can't sit there and say, well, since he is expensive salary wise, you can sit and wait and lowball Ross. Gareth from St. Louis is going to come and scoop him up and you are left out in the cold.



I disagree with this theory alot george. i think a team like minnesota could sit tight and no push for a thornton or lecavlier and sign a capable player in ufa for about half the price and keep the assets it would take to land the high priced guy to start with..

I think the top top teams have assembled SUCH talent pools that the mid tier and lower teams will be able to pluck players away from say Phi-Buf-Chi-Atl-Col-SJ in the coming years, or like u say be forced to take the crazy measure of waiving a pretty solid asset or two..
