EDM/BUF/VAN

[Edmonton Mike]

To Edmonton
Yegor Korshkov (68)
VAN 5th 2025

To Buffalo
EDM 3rd 2025
Retains 1/3 of Korshkov's contract

To Vancouver
OTT 3rd 2024
Takes on 1/3 of Korshkov's contract

Bottom 6 grinders are hard to get in this league so I needed to get creative by adding Vancouver in this deal to make Korshkov's salary manageable.

Thanks gentlemen

[VancouverCanucksGM]

Vancouver agrees.

Place the money on this year's cap please.

[Edmonton Mike]

Same trade, just clearer...I think?

From Buffalo to Edmonton

Buffalo confirms the deal.

The player isn’t in the plans of the club’s future.

Place the money on this year’s cap please.

Trade committee member stepping in to ensure I understand the terms.

Korshkov: 3.45x0.33x2y = 2.277m (I believe the rule rounds to the nears 50K). So are both Buf and Van asking for the full 2.28 be applied to this years cap, as opposed to any in next year? Also this is my first attempt at this, the numbers need confirmed from Dan. But just making sure I understand what VAN/BUF are asking for.

[SharksGM]

The total amount retained by each team, assuming 25 games left, is 3.45/3*(25+82)/82 = 1.5M. Spreading that out over 25 games makes for a penalty of 1.5M*82/25 = 4.922M for the remainder of this season. Both BUF and VAN have enough room to do that.

(or you could just do it all in one line and say 3.45/3*(25+82)/25 = 4.922)

[VancouverCanucksGM]

Fine with me.

[VancouverCanucksGM]

All on this year.

Thanks I remembered something similar in a CHI trade I believe so needed the prorating update. We should pin this calculation in the retention rule

[SabresGM]

It’s fine for Buffalo.

[SabresGM]

All on this years.
