[Speculation] Pearson Put On LTIR, Is There A Trade In The Works?


Recommended Posts

Look to the standing who’s jobs on the line who so desperate they’d Jb their franchises future for the slimmest chance at a wildcard spot. 

 

Minnie Calgary Floridia maybe detriot 

all wildcard bubbles all ready to be fleeced. 
 

make deals early so we have time to flip some of the returns 

to the other teams that now feel they need to improve to keep up.

There's no reason why he shouldn't be on LTIR and it gives Alvin flexibility in advance of need.

Giving him flexibility for what? This season's a write-off.

There is no value in putting Pearson on LTIR for the rest of the year unless they are taking on more cap. It is only good until TDL day and then it doesn't matter anymore. IR and LTIR would be the same after.

 

Something like working with Edmonton for a Karlsson trade but that is long term cap retention, the Canucks would have to get multiple 1rts for multiple years from both teams.

 

But retention around Kane might make a lot more sense. Or some other high cap hit contract in the last year or a RFA

 

Why wouldn't it matter after the TDL?  Seems more to signal that they don't believe they'll be able to clear much cap space and need the LTIR cap space.

 

College/CHL free agents are going to be available before the end of the season  and one of the incentive is to burn a year.  Explained it already in the Livingstone thread but the cap hit of ELCs late in the season can hit several millions depending on how many days there are left to the season.  A few years back they signed Rafferty with 4 days left and he was a 5M+ cap hit on a 1-year ELC.

 

The cap hit is pro-rated for a late signing but the bonus isn't pro-rated so that part has to be marked up for the pro-rata to be neutralised.

 

On a 1-year ECL the cap hit is therefore:  salary + [ total days of the season (185) / days left to the season ] x signing bonus
