These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
This post felt like a good place to start for the season to come simply because we're getting closer by the day.
Unless I was reading into BriseBois' comments too much, it sounded like he wasn't worried at all. I have to imagine that deals are already in place and it's just a matter of making things official in the coming days/weeks.
Killorn's Value goes up when Hoffman signs. When that happens, people will come knocking.I don't think you were at all. Tyler Johnson, Alex Killorn and Ceddy Paquette aren't suddenly worthless trash because cap space is limited league wide. Teams can and will trade for them. The fact we can't take on cap is why returns outside of draft picks would be marginal. You look at Alexander Steen retiring and tell me Alex Killorn is not a fit.

Well today is panic day, if indeed there is going to be a season this has been the last best chance to move players out. Next week is Christmas week and not much is going to get done until after new years. Then its time to report to camp. Times up for hoping Johnson can be moved without real serious overpayment. It is also crucial for getting any remaining RFA's signed before they miss time in camp and regular season games.
Nothing indicates that JBB has a deal in place waiting on Hoffman to sign any longer. The team will get compliant but now the question is what will the cost be. It will be a package deal that does it, I think it will be Johnson, Cirelli and possibly a pick to Detroit or New Jersey to clear out of this mess maybe Cernak +++ but that limits JBB more when he signs Cirelli. Now it has been suggested that Joseph and Vol would sign for 700k min well I guess to stay in the league they might but you can bet there agents are looking for more since with bonuses each were over 900k last season.
So as the minutes tic by today the options grow dimmer. Teams are closing up shop getting ready for camp. Hopefully Bettman can work something out for a Jan 13 start we need hockey back and put this offseason behind us.
Kylington just signed for league minimum. He's better than both.Tic Toc Tic Toc

Because how else would he keep up the doomed narrative?You obviously don't know how contracts work. Joseph and Volkov didn't make anywhere near 900k last season. Joseph had no signing bonuses last season so no money there, he had 182k in performance bonuses but I doubt he hit any of those so got nothing there, his salary in the NHL is 700k but spent less than half the season there so maybe he got 350k of that, his minor salary is 70k and he spent about half the season there so 35k, so Joseph probably made 385k last year which is less than half of 900k. Volkov had a 92k signing bonus, he had no performance bonuses, his NHL salary was 832k but he spent maybe a quarter of the season there so 210k, his minor salary was 70k which he spent the majority of the year so say 50k, so he made around 350k last year again well below 900k. Mitchell Stephens who played more regular season as well as playoff games as either of them signed for 738k, so not sure how or why we would pay the other two 900k?
Kuch, Point, healthy Stamkos, Palat, Hedman, McD, Serg, Vasi (+ 3rd line and Big Rig) still make us contenders.
The monkey is off their back now
We keep him. We would move Gourde before Palat.yep but can we keep palat or do we have to trade him
