Salary Cap: Pulp Philction Edition

[AR5]

This one should be over in the other thread if it's not already.

I will copy the code out of the other thread's first post and edit.

Ninja Awesome Job. Way better than what I came up with.

Seen it mentioned elsewhere today but what about a Scuderi for Ryane Clowe swap?

Clowe is reportedly never gonna play again due to concussion issues. 3 yrs left of LTIR capspace essentially.

Sign Fehr or we riot.

That'd be great but I doubt the owners wanna eat millions of dollars in dead cap space. We aren't the Leafs after all.

 

[Zirakzigil]

If the Penguins still want to sign a cheap 4C, Craig Adams is still available.....

Youre thinking too small. Adams can be the missing top 6 left wing.

Make Scuderi go away or we lay down and die.

The defense to Kessel's offense.

Exactly! Its the perfect fit for Malkins left wing.

Doesn' he have to count against the cap for a few games before being allowed to LTIR?

Nope you can assign him right at the start of the season to become cap compliant.

Doubt it, otherwise the Clarkson-Horton move makes no sense.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

No. In the off season you can exceed the cap by x% (10%?) so he'd count against that, limiting off season mobility, and then go on LTIR at the beginning of the season. LTIR forces you to miss 10 games and 24 days once you go on it, if his career is over that doesn't matter. LTIR relief would only be by what they go over the cap by, so it wouldn't be exactly his cap hit.

Clowe gets paid almost 15 million over the next 3 years and if his contract is insured I'm not sure why they'd be desperate to move him, and if he's not insured the Pens wouldn't want to pay that. It's creating a 3 year off season problem for a cap ceiling team to get rid of 2 years of Scuderi.

The NHL is going to crack down on trades like that in the future because it's obviously not on the up and up.

 

[penzweiser]

Please get rid of Scuderi this week, he has no place on this roster, that cap space is certainly worth a pick. We certainly can't keep him in the team past this year, that's when he really puts us in a bad situation in terms of signing either Perron or another top 6 left winger and locking up maatta.

 

[eXile59]

Yeah Maatta is a RFA and Perron a UFA. Need to get rid of a few Shero contracts by then.

 

[66-30-33]

Thanks guys for the correction.

 

[eXile59]

Some of these metro lineups are pretty good. Might be the hardest division in hockey.

Central is probably the best top to bottom, but the top end of the Metro is really good.

I think Scuderi HAS to be gone, and then Kunitz should go but we'd be okay if he played out his last year if we don't resign Sutter or another expensive 3C.

 

[mpp9]

Take a look at the defenses around the division. I'd argue we have the 2nd best next to the Rangers.

Ryan McDonagh is the only other D-man in the division who approaches Letang. I'm not too worried about it.

Is that assuming Scuderi is gone?

 

[mpp9]

I'm pretending he doesn't exist. I want him gone b/c we need that money devoted elsewhere. I'm confident the team sees what we see.

I just don't think our defense will be the weak link that everyone thinks. They'll make mistakes, but if this forward group gets another addition to round out the bottom six and stays healthy, we're not going to be playing very much in our own end, and they'll be giving MAF plenty of run support.

habs can coun't themselves very lucky to be in a much weaker one which considerably inflated their ranking. We'll probably beat their sorry ***** again next season.

Why would the Devils do that?

They're still below the salary cap floor, so they can use his cap hit to help reach it. If they do run into cap issues later, they can designate him to LTIR then.

Or, alternately, they could move his contract to one of the capped strapped teams for something better than Scuderi.
