So... question...
Given that you, as the GM of an NHL team are SERIOUS about rebuilding your club - from the ground up no less - do you make this trade:
Souray, O'Sullivan, Nilsson and Moreau
FOR
Redden, 2010 1st, 2011 2nd and 2012 1st
------
The Salary Grid* looks like so:
2010-11: EDM = -4.6 = 4.5 + 2.4 + 2.5 + 1.7 - 6.5
2010-11: NYR = +4.6
2011-12: EDM = +2.0 = 4.5 - 6.5
2011-12: NYR = -2.0
2012-13: EDM = +5.0
2012-13: NYR = -5.0
2013-14: EDM = +5.0
2013-14: NYR = -5.0
* With buy-outs the absolute cost to the Rangers goes down substantially while the relative value of benefits received by the Oilers go down
------
The Cap Grid looks like so:
2010-11: EDM = -5.8 = 5.4 + 2.9 + 2.0 + 2.0 - 6.5
2010-11: NYR = +5.8
2011-12: EDM = +1.1 = 5.4 - 6.5
2011-12: NYR = -1.1
2012-13: EDM = +6.5
2012-13: NYR = -6.5
2013-14: EDM = +6.5
2013-14: NYR = -6.5
Surprisingly, the big hit to the Oilers - in regards to the Cap - don't really occur until the 2012-13 season as the two year stretch per the Nilsson and O'Sullivan buy-outs is avoided.
------
This is, basically a cash for picks deal with the variables being value received by the Rangers from Souray's play (fight! fight! fight!) and the value received from by the Oilers from Redden's play (doh!).
So:
- is it worth it to you to dump all of your problem contracts/players at once AND get some nice draft picks in exchange for a player on the downslope with a nut-crushing contract?
- is it worth it to the Rangers to get a player(s) they might want AND save their future Cap and cash positions in exchange for being able to dump a Cap and cash killing contract?
------
So what do you imagine/mean/believe when you say the words 'rebuild'?
------
Have a great evening everyone.
