BI3KSALLENT Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Washington has $34,371,795 invested into Ovi, Kuzy, Backstrom, Oshie and Johannsson. They also have $4.6m left in cap with only 15 players under contract for next season so they overpaid quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I would have easily given him 8x8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1000 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I don't be understand how the Caps are going to field a full roster this year. Between their resigning this off season and Ovi that's almost half of their Cap in 4 players. It's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if there's an Ovi trade in the works. It's the only thing that would really make sense for them. Trade Ovi for a bunch of cheap entry level deals?

Warhippy Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Well...draisatl will get 9-10 million based on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM11 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Canucks should offer sheet Burakovsky for 3.9 million per year. Caps only have like 4.5 million left in cap space with only 15 players signed. He's only 22 and a C/LW. We'd only give up a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Massive overpayment for someone who's only scored 20 goals once (technically). Must have something to do with the KHL overpaying Russians, so maybe teams feel they need to pay them more to keep them here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRypien37 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 7.8 million for a previous 59 point season. Seems legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a dick move but one that I am sure is being discussed somewhere by more than one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate how that rule is there and no GM uses it. All should be fair game when you want to make your team better. It isn't illegal. I would love it if Benning did it. He's a top 6 forward that we can definitely use for now and the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Vegas as someone noted would be in good position to do it given all their picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why this would be considered a dick move. WSH chose to hand out large contracts, they knew the terms of the CBA. No one is putting a gun to their head and forcing them to overpay for free agents. The other 30 NHL GMs are neglecting their jobs if they do not use all possible means to improve their chances of winning. I can't wait for the first GM to grow a pair, target RFAs and stop the collusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
