Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Nashville:

Bryan Allen (75)
Aleksey Morozov (68)
Dmitri Kugryshev (61)

To Washington:

Andrei Markov (80)

I needed to get rid of one of my main defenseman since im pretty much stacked at the d position. I wanted a good offensive prospect and Kugryshev is a perfect fit. Morozov is a salary dump but he adds some depth, plus the 1 year contract is perfect. It was a tough deal to make since me and Washington are close to the cap. Allen is a great 3rd pairing d-man that will be a starter for me so no problem here.

Confirmed. It's tough losing my most NHL-ready prospect in Kugryshev since I've been developing him for the last year to play with AO, but the opportunity to pick up another veteran top-pairing defenseman while still staying under the cap is too big to pass up. I hate losing Morozov and his 60 points from last season, and I was fully content with him playing out his final year, but this finally opens a spot for Zherdev to play in the top six - from addition by subtraction, my second line is somewhat less of a defensive liability. On that same note, my defense unfortunately gets a bit softer as well - my top three defensemen (Markov/Green/Kaberle) are a risk since they are all average defensively. Allen was my top defensive defenseman last year, but the acquisitions of Markov and Komisarek will crowd out his ice time. I might be in a bad position salary-wise next season, but I can easily move Jokinen/Kaberle/Green (take note, people) if that's a problem. Thanks Sebastien.



*If this trade is accepted, please assign Richard Park to Hershey (AHL) and I will be under the salary cap*

This was a great deal to make for both of us, challenging haha.

I have 55.2 cap used before this trade and 23 players

I sent down De Vries, so 22 players and 900K less.

22 - 1 (Markov) = 21 players

55.2 - .9 (De Vries) - 5.75 (Markov) + 2.9 (Allen) + .47 (Kugryshev) + 1.75 (Morozov) = 53.67M and 24 players.

Trade approved and inputted.
