Ghostsof1915 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Is the plan to expose Ladd as expansion bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 7 minutes ago, aGENT said: To be fair, Ladd has two years left as opposed to Loui's one year. And $8m vs $4m of actual cash. Eriksson would be cheaper to dump. That said, we likely just waive him or buy him out. We have other moves we can do. Signing bonus of 3M was probably already paid - most contracts pay them out on 1 July. So leaves 1M in salary this coming season + 4M the next.

Patrik Laine Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I think the islanders just made plenty of room for Gabriel Landeskog. They will sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Between Leddy and Ladd that's a fair bit of cap cleared out, I wonder what they're up to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Islanders have to expose either pulock or mayfield. They have no dmen but have cap space now, almost 20 mill. This is how we trade schmidt to them. They need an offensive dman with leddy and probably mayfield gone now. Very interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they tell him that after his bonus is paid and he takes the hint and retires. If he doesn't, LE is Abbotsford bound imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was correcting my previous numbers. Arizona seems to have acquired Ladd to help bring some culture change. He was apparently a positive influence in NYI although not playing much. Not sure Eriksson is viewed to have that kind of leadership. Might just be trying to justify spending 7M and having an inefficient contract on the books. Thought Arizona was looking to save money in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted July 18, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 We finally got to see an NHL trade where the value of the return is less than a bag of pucks. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 4 hours ago, HKSR said: So there u go... two 2nds and a 3rd to dump the contract. Safe to say we need to ride out our bad ones for one more year. Different contract term, only one 2nd is guaranteed, and Ladd runs an additional year from Loui. A good 2nd round pick should get it done, but need a team with enough cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
