  1. Link here of each of the 173 individual votes: https://www.thephwa.com/news_article/show/1029866
  2. Vegas can use LTIR for the Clarkson contract which allows them to artificially increase the cap by his cap hit. It's a bit of a nuisance to work with, so teams sometimes prefer to move out the contract, but it's certainly not worth 17th overall. Clarkson is insured at 80%. After his bonus payment it's only 200K in cash. Clarkson has a NTC and taxation is probably a consideration - he submitted his list.
  3. There were other teams with such contracts too. Boston - Savard, Chara (the contract ended in 2018) Buffalo - Ehrhoff (they used a compliance buyout) Chicago - Keith, Hossa Detroit - Franzen, Zetterberg, Kronwall LAK - Carter, Quick, Mike Richards (recapture penalty on the books) Minnesota - Parise, Suter Nashville - Weber NYR - Brad Richards (they used a compliance buyout) Pittsburgh - Crosby Tampa - Ohlund
  4. The Sharks were looking for picks to create cap space. Benning was not going to give up a 2nd and a 3rd for a 32 year old D whose contract is up next year.
  5. Shero: “You’ve won the lottery. Who goes out and sells their lottery ticket after they’ve won it?” For NJD both Hughes and Kakko are franchise changing players.
  6. It was announced as such by Jeremy Jacobs, the Chairman of the Board of Governors. https://www.nhl.com/news/statement-from-jeremy-jacobs-boston-bruins-owner-and-chairman-of-nhl-board-of-governors/c-649592 "On behalf of the National Hockey League's Board of Governors, I am pleased to report that today we unanimously voted to ratify a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with the National Hockey League Players' Association. Which means, to our fans all around the globe, hockey is back."
  7. The Canucks are active on the trade market - Zucker, Hoffman, Ristolainen, possibly giving Gardiner a 50M contract. It really doesn't look like Benning has any interest in taking on bad contracts. By the sound of it he wants to compete now.
  8. Aquilini signed off on the CBA. It was approved unanimously by the Board of Governors. The recapture penalties in the CBA were introduced for those contracts signed earlier and he knew there was Luongo. New contracts can't be structured that way. Mike Richards signed his contract in 2007, Luongo in 2009. LA has a recapture penalty on their books. Teams were offered an out with the compliance buyouts. Buffalo (Ehrhoff) and NYR (Brad Richards) used them to get rid of their own recapture contracts.
  9. The buyout would have a higher cap hit than the recapture penalty. The buyout cap hit would be entirely on the Canucks' books as Florida would be out of the equation. Luongo's salary is now under his cap hit as the contract was front loaded. It increases the buyout cap hit as it's cap hit minus salary savings. So the less the remaining salary owed, the lower the savings and the higher the buyout cap hit.
  10. Not if they want to maintain their sponsorship revenue. From another post. Francois Gagnon of RDS Sports explained some time ago why the NHL wants to stay in those markets. It's about sponsorship revenue. They are based on the penetration rate on the global US market. Phoenix is one of the largest markets in the US and it keeps on growing. It's more lucrative for the NHL to stay in those markets (FLA, CAR, ARI) despite the empty seats, because of the sponsorship and other parallel revenues they get by covering key markets in the US.
  11. 3.033M x 3 years 4.271M x 2 years 7.892M x 1 year
  12. He was upset that Edmonton sent him to the AHL. He is also waiver eligible.
  13. And those numbers are incorrect. The recapture penalty is [ sum of salaries paid less sum of the cap hits ] divided by the remaining years. The Canucks have retained 15% of salary and therefore 15% of the cap hit (800K). So each year that difference between total salary and total cap hits gets adjusted. 15% of the salary paid gets added to the total salaries paid and 800K gets added to the total of the cap hits. Take any year and multiply "penalty term" by the recapture penalty and you will always get ~8.52M and that's not possible. That 8.52M is the amount of the penalty at the date of the trade. It would have stayed constant if there hadn't been a retention but there is one.
  14. It's not possible for them to be correct. There's obviously some rounding issues but the total owed cannot be the same regardless of the year he retires.
  15. Those numbers are wrong because they don't take into account that the Canucks retained 15% of the contract.
  16. By signing the CBA all the owners accepted to penalise those contracts. The examples in the CBA are obviously about contracts signed before 2013. Mike Richard signed in 2007 and has a recapture penalty. Luongo signed in 2009. The league also offered an out by allowing 2 compliance buyouts. Buffalo bought out Ehrhoff to get out of the recapture contract. NYR did the same with Brad Richards who also had a recapture contract.
  17. The CBA was approved unanimously by the Board of Governors where each team has a representative. There's a whole section on recapture penalties with examples on how to calculate them.
  18. No they didn't. They got a penalty for terminating the contract on top of the recapture penalty.
  19. The 800K would disappear from the books and be replaced by the ~3M recapture penalty.
  20. LA did not get an exemption for Mike Richards. He signed his contract even earlier than Luongo.
  21. The previous numbers didn't take into account the 15% retention.
  22. LA has a recapture penalty on their books for Mike Richards.
  23. Fenton doesn't see the need to move up because he feels that he can get at 12 the same type of player that is available at 4 or 5. With that stance they are more likely to keep 12 and trade Zucker separately.
