Yeah I didn't think we'd be stupid enough to do this either. Seeing a $6M anchor contract on the Avs 3rd pair during their Stanley Cup winning run, I figured we could ride OEL on the 3rd pair and get by. Instead, we pay dead cap every year now for 8 years. Unbelievable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of the buyout, who knows how much more it’ll be. We are fine, as long as management can manage cap competently from here on out. No more Mikheyev type contracts. Regardless of the cap, when you have 4.7 million dollars less to spend than your opponents, you're going to suffer the effects. That 3-4 window is likely when this team should be hitting it's stride (if things go well) It's going to hurt. 4 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might have to wait a long long time cause any management hired by Aqua will have the mandate to do this kind of things over and over again. It is not the management, it is the ownership. The owners hires guys that share his vision. So Aqua may not technically be meddling but he sure as hell hired people that would behave as he would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 2 minutes ago, Pears said: There are only two iffy years and the rest we’re dinged with a cap hit of $2.1 million. If the cap is going up over the next few years as much as we think it’s going to go up, then it’s almost a non issue. Excellent post and point! Grounded reason and reality. Nice to see some sanity around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not sticking around for anymore of this gongshow shit f**k! 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon.Duck Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Just now, DrJockitch said: My biggest concern is that when JTM is 32-34 the penalty is $5M. The penalty only declines to easy to deal with when he is starting on the steeper downslope. I honestly think JTM is going to be at worst a 50pt 20g player during this contract, tail end, he won’t be useless like LE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, playing with dead cap is never a "It doesn't matter" situation. That's a good 3rd liner at 2.1m, or as you say a good back up or good 3rd pair D. The cap goes up, so does everyone's salaries, the 2.1m is still going to hurt the team. And that's not including the years of over 4m cap hit, that will really hurt the team. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. Just shows that there were 0 teams interested in our wingers, without paying a massive price to move them. This team is still in trouble, make no mistake. Would have liked to see if OEL had any bounce back in him this year. Oh well. Onwards to more mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby James Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Yeah also didn't expect this buyout or wanted it. Thought OEL played well in his first season here and poorly this year (injured supposedly). Would have much rather tried to work with him and mount a comeback season. If it didn't work in a year or two then do the buyout. Having a 2+ million cap penalty for like 7/8 years is gonna suck, especially the 2 years where is is 4.7 in a time period when we should be competing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not on an 8 year rookie deal, and that was just an example to illustrate a real world example of the damage this will be doing to the team every single season.

Junkyard Dog Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 With the sacrifices they have made my expectations are for them to make the playoffs next year. There are no exceptions or excuses anymore. If they don’t then the sacrifices were all for nothing which is unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
