LeBrun: Nash, Grabner Trade Deals happening; both pulled from lineup tonight (Mod post #353)

[Clark Kellogg]

How many contract's do the rangers currently have?

I believe it’s 47.

 

[Killswitch7187]

No more than 50% of a player's total cap hit can be retained. It doesn't matter how many teams are retaining on him.

I believe this is wrong. Rob Scuderi was traded from PIT to CHI (33% retention) then from CHI to LAK (50% retention).

Vancouver's owners are not afraid to spend money if it improves the team. They would take salary on if Jim asked.

Wow look at that. I guess I read the NHL rulebook wrong. Should take more time next time. Thanks.

 

[oilers4life5]

Is that a thing. So you are saying the Rangers trade Nash to Edmonton at 50% and the Oilers then trade Nash to Boston at another 50% thus leaving the Bruins on the hook for only 25% of Nash’s original remaining salary. Am I getting this correct?

After review of cap friendly that is my understanding.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Looks like I couldn't have been more wrong on this. Not sure what my Bruins are thinking, but that's why I'm not a GM.

At least you can admit it. You're okay in my book Lou!

I think all 3 fan bases wished he wasn't on the books whatsoever/sooner forget it, so you're 100% justified in not knowing that example.

I think it ended up being each of LAK/CHI/PIT each paying roughly a 1/3 of his $3.375M AAV.

 

[Coach Parker]

Hmm. I think I've seen this show before...

If I have this right an ex-NHLer reports that a deal is in place to give Krejci a new winger before the deadline and then when I wake up that winger gets a call from his Team Canada buddy Crosby and he is a Penguin by morning.

Boston goes with plan B (in this case an aging European winger), beats Pittsburgh in the ECF and then Nash signs with Boston in the summer.

Haha. You made me doubt it too. I had to double check.

Well if this is all true and New York trades Nash at 50% to Edmonton then from there to Vancouver and there to Vegas(why not McPhee is a good sport an an ex Ranger) all at 50% then he ends up in Boston at 6.125% of his original remaining salary.
Only in the NHL.

Contract can only be retained twice. So that can’t work.

So Nash retained at 50% wouldn't be enough to get him under Boston's cap?

Okay, this one is word for word from the rulebook

"Players’ contracts are limited to 2 retained salary transactions per contract."

If Beleskey was in the deal it's solid I believe. But adding him in probably sweetens the pot for the Rangers.

A lot more than probably

Maybe BOS can get a team to take that contract on and they can split the cost to polish the deal.

Bos toss 2 x 4th (2018 & 2019) to a team to take beleskey and NYR pays them back with their own 2018 or 2019)

 

[Hockey Rush]

Oh thats delicious.

 

[canwincup]

Jesus that’s a lot....

Why tho?

It costs a lot a more than that to take a 3.8 for 3 years contract of a worthless player

Rangers can retain. Our owner isn't cheap like Melynk

 

[Hockeyholic]

Boston shouldn't be giving that kind of package up for Nash.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Ottawa has retained on both phaneuf and brasses, multi year deals. So maybe not the best way to stab at melnyk.
