Harvey Specter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Noooooooooo! -Venting All Emotions- I really wished that he would retire being a member of only one organization... but ultimately as a fan, my opinions only go so far... With that being said, all the best with the Blues this season Marty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Was kinda hoping he'd retire a Devil. Not too many players do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedins 55 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 He's going to get $10,000 for every point earned in net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just won't look right ... Brodeur in another uniform. But he gets his chance to play for a contender. But didn't St. Louis learn from the Miller experiment last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 This is going to be like watching a trainbuscar crash. I got nothing but respect for what Brodeur has done but he is going to get absolutely lit up playing in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But didn't St. Louis learn from the Miller experiment last year? If you can SIGN a future Hall-of-Famer for that cheap, the worst that he can do is that he would become another mentor to Jake Allen, the best is that he can still win games for them or at least play competently. Low risk, high potential reward. It's also a much lower cost than what they paid to get Ryan (Halak, Stewart, prospect, 2 picks). 10/10 signing IMO. That said, it'll be weird to not see Marty in black and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyM Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Do bonuses count towards the cap? If so, what happens if Brodeur hits enough milestones to put the Blues over cap? If not, why isn't it cap circumvention? Would appreciate any insight from anyone with knowledge on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoted Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wonder what the plan is for Allen/Elliott? Elliott's injury worse than originally believed? Roll with 3 goalies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devoted Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Bonuses are tacked onto next season's cap. ie. if he hits an additional million dollars in bonuses than next year St. Louis must account for that in their spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! And now that you mention that, I do recall Toews and Kane hitting crazy playoff bonuses not too long ago which caused some cap issues the following year.

And now that you mention that, I do recall Toews and Kane hitting crazy playoff bonuses not too long ago which caused some cap issues the following year. Indeed it did. Their playoff bonuses caused the Blackhawks to be over the 7.5% max thus resulting in their cap ceiling falling from 59ish million to 55. This was a main catalyst to the departure of Versteeg, Ladd, Big Baby Buff.. http://www.capgeek.com/faq/how-do-performance-bonuses-count-against-the-cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheCrease Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Surprised Edmonton did not show interest, considering their recent woes. Then again, they may have and Marty laughed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
