Helped get Stammer goal #60 in 2012

We need a system to tell which Foote is which.

Right Foote / Left Foote
Foote1 / Foote2
CalF / NolF

I'm sure the list is almost endless

 

[Finbolter]

So we have about 16.4 mil cap space? (10.6+5.8 ltir) easily can sign point and pavelski and still have room add some lower line forward,

Sounds like we're not planning to use Cally's space unless we can move the contract.

I just posted the Right Foote / Left Foote suggestion in another thread before reading your post.

 

[Major4Boarding]

Just for kicks I messed around on CapFriendly and was able to get Pavelski on board for 3 yrs @ $6m, Point signed, RFA's qualified @ 110% and still had $1.5M-$2M is space left. Of course that includes Callahan's LTIR kicking in but for next year with the rollover bonuses and Vasy, Cirelli, Joseph, Cernak, Domingue, and Sergachev due it comes at the expense of a Palat buyout this time next year.

It's not a big deal. His contract will slide to whenever his pro career starts. For a first round pick, it's a pretty safe move to save a couple of bucks. Unless we're talking about Cal.

We need a system to tell which Foote is which.

Big Foote, Little Foote? Nolan and Cal? 29 Feete, 52 Feete? One gets called hand? Right Foote? Left Foote?

Or we can latinize is into Footeius Maximus and Footeius Minimus

What did you sign Point for?

We'll eventually be calling them good Foote and bad Foote if they both play in the NHL. Or bad Foote and worse Foote.

 

[These Are The Days]

Wow look at all these people suggesting Right and Left Foote

 

[CupsOverCash]

What if they're both awesome players?

Pool party would be a real boom/bust pickup. Would probably come relatively cheap given he wants out and could really explode with this team.

I think it'll be Carolina, though. Tons of space, fits in with what their owner wants as far as offense.

 

[Major4Boarding]

What did you sign Point for?

5 yrs - $6.75M

 

[God King Fudge]

5 yrs - $6.75M

I'd love it, but I don't think there's any way that number isn't between 8 and 9.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I'd love it, but I don't think there's any way that number isn't between 8 and 9.

I don't know, I've always had a feeling that the number would be under 8. I honestly think the biggest issue is probably term right now.

How and why would a team take on dead cap space?

 

[Major4Boarding]

Exactly my mindset when doing it. Although at that cap hit @ 8yrs would be beyond awesome, I'm getting the sense that his camp doesn't want so many of his UFA years eaten in to. Reports are JBB and the Org want 3, they want 5, so I went with 5 yrs. Call it an "extended" bridge deal with more sweetener than Kuch, Palat, and TJ got.

 

[These Are The Days]

I would have tabled 3 years $21 million for a $7 million AAV at first offer and added more term as needed if he was okay with the money. Just whatever keeps that cap hit down

 

[Major4Boarding]

Hate to say it but that 1st from VAN may be why we got it. Hopefully not, as in we can keep it, but it may take it to move that contract

 

[DFC]

Because we would pay them. Like Datsyuk, but not as much term.

Shoot call it 4 years and meet in the middle. If you can anything below 8 million AAV it's a MASSIVE win. If it was something like 4 years $30 million it would be one of the best deals in the leauge

Having that pick makes it a lot easier to trade our own, I think.

I'd hang onto that pick above our own on 2021 by all means possible. Teams are gonna want to hang onto 2020 unless you're Benning lol

I don't think anybody's world would end if we signed him 4 x 9m. Like a hybrid deal.
