  1. He’s owed $9.5m over the next 3 years. He won’t retire until the contract expires. Welcome to LTIR
  2. Even if he’s forced to stop playing he won’t retire. He’ll ride out the remainder of his contract on LTIR.
  3. Vancouver will end up leaving a decent to good player unprotected. Seattle can just take their pick of the players available . If you want them to waste a pick on a boat anchor you’ll need to offer a lot more incentive. They’re not only taking a bad contract /marginal player, but they’re losing out on the decent player they would have otherwise taken. Think a 1st or one of Vancouvers top prospects (Podkolzin)
  4. If there is an agreement in place for him to terminate his contract and then sign with a predetermined team that gets compensation from the Canucks to do so, then it’s clear cap circumvention
  5. Can you say “cap circumvention” ?
  6. The Wild went 2/4 in game one. I’m not so sure you want to get into a game where each time is getting a ton of power plays.
  7. When exactly did Virtanen hit 50 points? He hasn’t even come close to that.
  8. Ottawa only have 9 players signed for next season accounting for $41.9m of cap. They only need to spend $18.3m on 12/14 players to hit the cap floor. They really don’t “need” Eriksson to hit the floor. They’ll easily hit it just by filling out the roster.
  9. The AAV of the contract is the average salary over the life of the contract. He was paid $8m, $8m, $7m over the first 3 years of his contract but the Canucks only had a cap hit of $6m. So no, the Canucks don’t owe him $12m. But they do have to account for cap advantage they had in the first 3 years of the contract
  10. Escrow doesn’t apply to contracts in the minors. So Eriksson would make 20% more in Utica. So yeah. Even in Utica
  11. Markstrom is going to be the guy when the games count. May as well get him as much game action to shake the rust off as possible.
  12. So you say NJ does it to get Markstrom? Is that the same Markstrom that’s a pending UFA? NJ doesn’t touch this
  13. Wow. Ridiculous conspiracy theory. Domi has type 1 diabetes. He’s at risk at the best of time. It’s understandable that he wanted to take time to assess the situation before committing to playing in the bubble
  14. Devils don’t touch that. Virtanen and Severson are probably roughly equal value. So you’re asking them to send a high 1st (with a chance of being 1st overall) for 2 cap dumps and an RFA bottom 4 D
  15. Tryamkin’s rights expire Aug 31st. Depending on when the season ends next year his rights may have expired before the daft even happens. His rights are practically worthless in this scenario. I think Seattle will be looking for better returns depending on what consideration they’re giving
  16. Be interested to see where Danault finished. He was 7th last year and there were spirts writers making a case that he should be a finalist this year.
  17. Your dreams of Loui walking away from his contract look to be thoroughly crushed
  18. They have $41.9m in cap space dedicated to 9 signed players for next season. Which means they only have to spend $18.6 m filling out the roster of 23 to hit the cap floor. Like I said. They can easily hit the cap floor signing players they actually want and that will fit their lineup.
  19. He shouldn’t. But there’s a group of fans that believed he’d walk away once his bonus was paid and his cap hit would magically disappear.
