  1. Not sure if this has been addressed, but Nick Ritchie has a $2.5M cap hit, but a $3.3M salary this year. So in a swap, Arizona would gain a million of cap, but save about $550K of actual salary.
  2. (This is going to sound cold, but I think it’s for the best.) Dude, just based on the quote above I’d be telling you to cut and run. Sounds just miserable. Why would you want that in your life? But she did it for you, you can take the high road and move on. It may not feel like a win now, but in a few months revisit this and I bet you’ll realize it.
  3. I can’t believe he fell to Calgary. I have a feeling Radim will be a player, and some teams will wish they didn’t pass on him.
  4. A. Ovechkin - N. Kadri - R. Smith A. Lee - C. Smith - T. Moore J. Martinook - R. Colton - M. McCarron N. Deslauriers - T. Lewis - R. Zohorna V. Hedman - J. Faulk R. Gudas - N. Schmidt A. Edler - D. Mayo D. Forbort T. Hamonic A. Vasilevskiy B. Elliott
  5. Ferland’s contract is done after this season. But you may be right still.
  6. I am, especially if we can move Ferland’s LTIR in the process.
  7. On the other hand, Vegas may just be waiting for the season to start to sign Hague, so they can maximize LTIR cap relief.
  8. I’d trade Hoglander + Dermott for Hague, provided they can make the cap work. Maybe there is an angle to include Ferland’s LTIR? (But with Weber, Patrick and Lehner, maybe Vegas has more than enough already).
  9. Bob still has a full NMC through the end of next season. And a 16-team list for the last 2 years of his deal (in which the cash is a lot less than the cap hit), so they can’t just simply move him to Arizona without his consent. I’m guessing buyout at the end of this season, unless he goes on LTIR.
  10. You know I only traded you 1 Burakovsky, right?
  11. There’s almost nothing worse than being a child abuser. Although, knowingly falsely accusing someone of child abuse is also pretty horrid. No matter what, one side of this argument is absolute scum.
  12. They closed their show in Calgary last night with this one.
  13. They won the lottery to draft 2nd overall in 2017, despite narrowly missing the playoffs. However they certainly didn’t have much luck with Nolan Patrick. Nor who they traded him for (subject of thread).
  14. No kidding. The guy couldn’t stay healthy at all in Junior. I don’t know how scouts thought that was going to get any better playing against adults.
  15. Carolina removes Mikael Pyyhtia from ELC slide, and instead chooses to slide newly acquired Alexander Kisakov. @Nail
  16. Don’t get me wrong, love Miller/Garland, but anyone who doesn’t trade them straight up for MacKinnon is either a huge Homer, stoned, or both.
  17. For all that NYR have done, nothing has had more impact than stumbling across a seemingly generational goalies with a 4th round pick. If they were still stumbling around with below average goaltending, they wouldn’t be this good already - not even close.
  18. Text book: “Be the city all the players (Fox, Panarin, Trouba) want to play in, so they sign and/or force teams to trade them for a big discount. And win 2 draft lotteries. Not winning them? Try harder!”
  19. Thanks to @Canuck Surfer for the smooth negotiations. I'm leaving a lot of regular season points on the table this year. But I clear cap for the next 2 years, and add a prospect whose upside I like. And just a gut feeling, but I think Hamonic is going to have a much better year, with a good shot to be a playoff player (most likely as a rental at the deadline).
  20. Going to see them live this Friday... 20 years since I first saw them at The Commodore.
  21. I’m not saying I disagree with you in theory. (Personally, I seriously question this team because of the defence.) However, there were 2 notable exceptions: Carolina, and the 2nd of the back-to-back wins for Pittsburgh (where Letang was hurt and didn’t play). Both of these teams won without a star defenseman, and as a group were likely below average compared to the rest of the league. And who was GM of those teams? Rutherford. Might be why he thinks it can be done again here.
  22. This is just it. As much as we desperately need a young RD with upside, he just doesn’t fit. Rathbone for Lundqvist might have made sense at one point. But Rathbone has shown a lot more at the AHL level, he’s worth more right now. And Hughes/OEL are our PP guys for the next few years, regardless.
  23. Can’t blame him. Since getting drafted they’ve amassed the deepest and most talented young group of RD’s in the league (Fox, Trouba, Schneider, Lundqvist, Emberson, Skinner). Now that they’re set on Schneider being on the team, Nils is stuck. I think Lundqvist has top-4 upside. But unless Poolman is still hurt, or we send Schenn back in a trade, not sure we have room for him right now either.
