Salary Cap: 2020-21 Lightning Roster Discussion | Part 2

[The Gongshow]

I too got excited for news, but it seems more so that Big Rig and Schenn can get paid before that deadline, as opposed to JBB having something in else in the works/place

 

[Major4Boarding]

SPC = Standard Player Contract I assume?

Correct

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Oloffson gets a 2-year bridge worth $3.05M AAV.

He scored at a higher clip than Cirelli last year, but over a small sample size. Adjusting for Cirelli's elite defensive play and the tax situation, probably comes out to a similar bridge deal, maybe slightly higher.

That's around where I thought he would come in as well... I was thinking $3-$3.5M also...

Sorry guys but Cirelli is more of a 4.5 million dollar guy to me. Might take one for the team, though. Olofsson is SMALL and one-dimensional (but elite).

 

[LightningStrikes]

I’ve been thinking. With the pandemic going on and the second wave hitting most parts of our world pretty hard these days and weeks, why would any professional athlete take a discount now? Their window to make big bucks is small to begin with and nobody knows if this virus is here to stay or will be something we will chuckle about in a few months. Take what you can get now. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring...

They don't have a choice.

Cirelli hasn't really done enough for that yet, especially compared internally.

Them analysts can see into the future. Even Olofsson's!

 

[Todd1a]

They don't have a choice.

my hey don’t look at the UFA market there all get paid less

 

[Zwui21]

Wouldn't this be a great day to trade Johnson and re-sign Sergachev at below market value?
A man can hope

 

[God King Fudge]

If Cirelli is bringing in 4.5, he needs to do it on another team. He's not earning that yet.

 

[Stammertime91]

Have we repeat yet?

 

[Point21]

i think today is that day, Rare full moon on Halloween. someones bound to give us a 1st and top prospect for TJ and Sergy will sign 8 years at 980k per year

 

[Point21]

Welp here it is straight from the captain himself

 

[BoltSTH]

To misquote Shakespeare in Hamlet: "The Captain doth protest too much, methinks". Trade imminent.

 

[copperlion]

damn we should've traded Johnson at the deadline or something. He was playing like crap all year

 

[Todd1a]

damn we should've traded Johnson at the deadline or something. He was playing like crap all year

It wouldn’t have been a problem trading him but we hit a pandemic and no nhl teams are adding to there payroll right now

 

[Todd1a]

Lol we even gave maroon a no trade clause we still hand them out like candy lol

 

[J T Money]

Wedgewood was the odd man out on getting his name on the Cup

 

[NatoGhost]

Lol we even gave maroon a no trade clause we still hand them out like candy lol

I get what you're saying but NTC for 1 year and 16 team for yr 2 on 900k a year isnt a problem like the others...

 

[Todd1a]

I get what you're saying but NTC for 1 year and 16 team for yr 2 on 900k a year isnt a problem like the others...

no it’s not we are fine with that it’s just lol we do hand out NTC like candy to everybody lol

 

[Byrddog]

This is probably the week it all breaks loose. Hoffman probably signs this week. According to hockey news he has is interested in 6 teams and has offers on the table from 5 and while he prefers one who apparently does not have the Cap for him the decision will probably be this week maybe even today the calendar has rolled. This will free up one last chance for the Bolts to move a player, the chance we move two are astronomical unless there is a package deal both Killer and Johnson and there are what two teams that may work for?

When Hoffman falls there will be one final flurry question is will be be redeemed? I am not sure.

 

[BoltSTH]

Maybe JBB is just waiting for Stamkos to fall off his jet ski, slip on the ice, or trip over a toy at home, so he can put him on LTIR.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Maybe JBB is just waiting for Stamkos to fall off his jet ski, slip on the ice, or trip over a toy at home, so he can put him on LTIR.

Stamkos has already been paid his bonus. He could opt-out of the season for covid-related reasons and immediately fix our cap situation.

I'd rather see him on the ice though.
