  1. [discussion] OEL

     

    MIN is still doing pretty good despite having Parise and Suter on their books.

     

    Ive been playing around with the buy out calculator for OEL. I wonder IF you retain 2 million on OEL and OEL agrees to a trade, can u move him?

     

    Its definitely better in some years than a 4 million + cap hit and more or less the same for the 2 million + buy-out years.

      If we're going to try and stay competitive, then dead cap will kill us, but if we're fully rebuilding and acquire some picks and bad contracts to bomb, then why not?

      Because over a long term it handicaps the franchise too much.  I'm fine with a bad contract that can eventually moved, but any GM who either retains salary or uses a buyout needs to be fired on the spot.

      I'd try and move him first.  Retaining $2 million would be fine if JR decides to do a proper rebuild, as the dead cap would be off the books in 4 years once we hopefully are a playoff team again.  At $5 million perhaps he has positive value and we can get a pick or prospect for him.  We would need to convince him that we are rebuilding and that he should move on to a cup contender.  Perhaps he doesn't want to be here either and live through another rebuild like Arizona.  Who knows.
