We traded a penny for a half penny, probably as part of a deal that got us a dime for a nickel. Who gives a shit?This is a bad move if correct.

And you think we fans are in a position to assess the value of those pennies? We can't even assess the dollars right.Pennies still have value
We do you care if I have a feeling about dollars or pennies?And you think we fans are in a position to assess the value of those pennies? We can't even assess the dollars right.
Teaches them to nix our shenanigans.The buyout, the Canes subsequently signing TDA for less than $2.5M and now this trade seems much more cap circumvention than the original trade.
[nonchalant whistling]This is the first "Past Considerations" trade I can recall.
I didn't realize we had the older brother of future considerations in the organization.
Yea, that's basically what we're doing. The thing with TDA somehow bombed out weird, we're saying "sorry" by giving them Rizzo (who we were originally going to trade) and a 5th. Kase is a non-entity in this case and is basically just freeing up a contract spot for them most likely. Whatever, it's helping build some goodwill so if the Flyers are out at TDL they might be willing to work with us on a playoff-push deal or something.This is the first "Past Considerations" trade I can recall.

And both together we got a case of quantum circumvention.The trade at the draft was cap circumvention in letter but not spirit.
This is cap circumvention in spirit but not letter.
Taking this as the intended basis, the way things went PHI ended up paying 2 x $1.67M = $3.33M instead of 1 x $2.5M but saving a retention slot. Is that worth a 5th?TDA @ 50% and Kase’s rights
For
Rizzo and a 5th
Seems plausible
You shared your opinion, yes? I shared mine in return.We do you care if I have a feeling about dollars or pennies?
Well i don’t appreciate your opinion of my opinion. So how do you like that opinion? Thats how i fight and I’ll meet you behind the bojanglesYou shared your opinion, yes? I shared mine in return.
I don’t think so. At the same time we likely just completed the real trade after the league nixed it for cap circumvention. We had to renege on trade after signing our UFAs because we didn’t have enough space to gain cap throughout the season. So we finished the trade later after the buyout but not too close to the buyout.Taking this as the intended basis, the way things went PHI ended up paying 2 x $1.67M = $3.33M instead of 1 x $2.5M but saving a retention slot.

In a league that will take a maul and bludgeon the cat dead if some Schroedinger tried to get creative with things.
