Our pic to Tampa is lottery protected. If we don't make the playoffs we keep it this year because would be in the draft lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 When can Toffoli be extended? can that happen anytime or is there a date the team has to wait for? it would be nice if that could get done and solidify the F group for a few years.

Any time. Tofu is a pure rental though. We would need to dump Loui, Sutter, and Baer to make room for Tofu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we buy out Baer and Sutter (saves 3.9 mil of cap), and let Stech, Leivo and Fantenberg walk, we can probably just squeak through and re-sign everyone else currently on the team, other than Tanev. I'm assuming we are replacing Stechers salary with Tryamkins. So if thats how it goes, does adding in Tryamkin and Raffety replace Tanev? certainly changes the dynamic back there. The way I see it, if we can't shed Loui we lose Tanev. But I think we shed Loui, I think he retires post-bonus.

Toyotasfan Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ottawa’s best case scenario is the first , second and fourth overall picks in the upcoming draft since New York Islanders have top 3 lottery protection. If the Islanders landed 4th in the lottery their pick is fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can go over the cap by 10% in the summer, but have to be cap compliant (and including the guys on LTI) by opening night next October. JB and his cap experts are going to be busy.

JB and his cap experts are going to be busy. I think they will be. i never considered the option of buying out Sutter and Bear, but it does make some nice room for Toffoli. Not all of it, but a lot. I guess if there's a CBA extension this year we may get phenomenally lucky with a compliance buyout again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players on multiple year contracts can be extended as of 1 July a year ahead of free agency. Players on single year contracts can be extended as of 1 January - 6 months ahead of free agency. There are tagging rules though so that can delay the announcement. Edited February 25, 2020 by mll 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can extend any of our guys, who are in their last year of a contract, to long term deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB and his cap experts are going to be busy. Off-season cap space is calculated differently than regular season cap space. In the off-season every player under contract is back on the team's roster. Players on 1-way contracts count at their full cap hit. Players on two-way deals count at the pro-rata of the time they spent on the NHL roster the previous season. RFAs count at the pro-rata of their time on their roster at their qualifying offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 With all the talk over the summer of how far ahead the Leafs and Rangers are in their rebuild over the Canucks, does this trade deadline prove that to be wrong? I feel like the Leafs are now in perpetual mediocre mode and the Rangers, well I'm not really sure since I don't follow them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Leafs are now in perpetual mediocre mode and the Rangers, well I'm not really sure since I don't follow them. Leafs were done their rebuild (or believed they were done) when they let Lou Lam walk and hired Dubas. At that point they started their tweaking stage, and hope to compete for cups for a long period. They, of course, were stupid to not allow Lou Lam to stay and tweak the roster as needed. Dubas has taken a Lou Lam built team that got 105 points (a club record) and turned them into a 95 point team that has no window any more. And it’s funnier than hell! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say the Rags are closer to our current makeup, than they are the Fleas. League Hindquarters wants that market up & runnin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Short term I think Vegas, Flames and Oilers did well. Also like the moves in the east from Islanders, Capitals and Canes. Long term I think we did really well. Got an important asset that works both as a rental and if resigned without giving up to much, realize that we are not contenders yet and can't give up future assets if the reward isn't big enough (as I think it is with Tofu and for that matter with JT). So actually - seems like the mindset of a winning franchise IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, if we can't shed Loui we lose Tanev. But I think we shed Loui, I think he retires post-bonus. I don't think we would need to buy out Sutter. He should be a tradeable asset in the summer, even if we have to retain salary. Retaining 50% of his salary would give us almost the same cap space as buying him out and we don't have the extra year on the books in 2021. As for Baer he could stay one more year in Utica and we would save just over $1 million, if we buy him out we save an extra $700k. So depends on how tight we are against the cap. Remember next summer we need to re-sign Petey and Quinn so buying these guys out may not be the best option as we would have their buyout salary on the books for 2021, when every penny will count.
