This is that, Chicago is giving them some free cap spaceat what point does chicago owe up to florida for all these slushy deals?

They also traded a guy making 3.5M in salary (Matheson) for a guy making 5.3M in salary. That's not exactly slashing unless there was more salary in that deal going to Pittsburgh.Probably just cuts down on payroll. I remember seeing reports in the offseason they wanted them slashed.

The offseason report was specifically they wanted to slash the defensive payroll. Which I think was really just code for we want Matheson and probably Stralman too gone.They also traded a guy making 3.5M in salary (Matheson) for a guy making 5.3M in salary. That's not exactly slashing unless there was more salary in that deal going to Pittsburgh.
Maybe they viewed Hornqvist in higher regard. It’s not like Matheson was doing great in Florida and that’s a backloaded long contract. Like I said there were reports during the offseason, maybe they’re true maybe they’re not.They also traded a guy making 3.5M in salary (Matheson) for a guy making 5.3M in salary.

Payroll and cap space aren’t the same thing. One is a AHL/ECHL with a salary of 60k and the other is still owed ~320k in salary.right because 7.5M of that cap space has nothing to do with Ekblad going on IR

Only way you’d know that is if you work in the FO or if it was reported by a credible source (none posted here). Could be to cut a little bit of costs. Could be doing Vinnie a favor. Could be for the roster spot (could just waive him, only 47 contract atm). Or some combo, or something else all together.Sure, but this move has nothing to do with the owners trying to save money. if anything its for opening up a roster spot to add come trade deadline
The other winner: Hinostroza.Florida ditches a player they don't like for nothing.
Chicago brings back a player they like for nothing.
Win - win.
there was. sceviour makes $1.2m and was part of that trade. also, after this season hornqvist has two more years at a $5.3m salary while matheson has five more years at an average of $5.7m salary (lmao). they took on some money short term but ditched a lot long term.They also traded a guy making 3.5M in salary (Matheson) for a guy making 5.3M in salary.

it's funny because yotes fans immediate thought bowman got fleeced giving up hinostroza in the Hossa deal. hinostroza was always a tweener. if you force feed him middle six minutes on a bad team, sure he can get you 30-40 pts. but he likely doesn't have a daily spot on a good teamWas Hinostroza just a product of some “well someone has to score” Arizona teams?
Capfriendly says Florida has 14+ deadline cap space
Hall and Montour going to Florida confirmed!
I said that as a joke but after more thought, it might be a smart move for the Cats to do.
We don't really need Montour though. We need help on the pk and someone to shut down the opposition's best forwards.
Montour PKs and is deployed as a shit down guy!!
Chicago really has a weird thing for trading for former players
Intentional slip up?
They really do ~ seems to happen at least once a year!

Ideally the Cats would acquire Savard or Ekholm or Manson.
Even more ideal would be getting Ekholm or Savard for the PK, and Montour for the PP (I’m assuming Ekblad is on one of the PP units here).
I just assume with the season the Cats are having it might be one to go for it and make the team deeper. At worst it fails and you don’t have to pay them beyond this season.
Montour isn't really someone I think of when I think of a shutdown guy. He does an admirable job on that Sabres team, but I think Forsling can/has played at the same level. We need an upgrade to play with Weegar. I'd like either Manson or Savard, although Manson has had the better season. Savard is attractive though because we don't have to give Seattle anything to not touch him.
Is Weegar deployed as a shutdown guy? I assumed he was Ekblad’s partner and they got mostly neutral zone or offensive zone starts. Of course I also don’t watch as much hockey as I used to because I’m too busy with school. So I only occasionally make time for a Sabres game so I can rip on them.
Yeah him and Ekblad were the shutdown pairing and the top pk pairing. Ekblad also played the top pp pairing, which also played almost the whole 2 minutes. Weegar is now forced to play all the toughest minutes in all situations. He' s doing a good job of it for now, but eventually he' s going to buckle without help.

what’s the word on Morrison?
