Player Discussion: Andrew Ladd

[seafoam]

excuse my ignorance but how does this affect the cap situation? To lazy to look it up

1M in cap relief I believe because that is his base salary.

Not going to be surprised when that $1mm in space goes to Kovalchuk (LA eats the rest)

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I love how Andrew Gross simply says - "Lou believes he'll clear."

 

[SI90]

Team is making big boy decisions. Your contracts don’t guarantee you shit anymore. Love it.

As mentioned, it should be around $1M in cap relief.

 

[Bones45]

good

 

[BMOK33]

People I think are overrating the odds they do something with Ladd and Seattle. At that point you’ve had the contract for 5 years so what would be the point in ditching it and giving up a 1st at that stage. Might as well just eat final 2 years. The Isles will be in too good a position in this expansion draft to really bother having to bribe Seattle

 

[MJF]

He’ll be a big help to the Sound Tigers.

 

[MJF]

Bury that contract!!!

this was the first thought that hit me. Lou and Trotz want to ice the best team possible working with the cap. Had hoped for this move but wasn't sure they would actually do it. I am very sure the prior administration would not have. Now we have 13 forwards including Otto on the roster, with one spot left, Knuckles and Martin injured. Long way to go and other injuries may occur (or someone may force their way back up from the Bridge) but we may have more tough decisions ahead. Ladd down there makes perfect sense, he can mentor the kids, while seeing if there is anything left in the tank and not taking someone else's spot up here.

And do we call someone back up to fill the empty spot we currently have for 14th forward?

Just happy this organization is making the right decisions. For many years it seemed common sense was out the window for the Isles. Not any more

 

[Shot of Bailey]

Sure sounds like someone will be getting a one way ticket to Robidas Island

 

[DarkHorse2]

Wonder how long Ladd wants to ride the bus? He still has $12 million coming in the next three years. He already got his $4 million signing bonus this year.

I could hear the conversation. Hi Honey, just wanted to check if that signing bonus came in this week? Were good?

I'd skateboard between AHL cities for 12 mil.

So perfect!

BTW, that looks like Grappa that the Don is drinking. I drank too much Grappa one time. The next couple of days were not fun.

 

[doublechili]

What's the name of Lou's cap guy? I've never heard boo about him since the day he was hired. Is he even still with the organization, or is he just the shadowy figure no one mentions?

 

[mm11]

even in the winter time, both ways and uphill

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Looks like Ladd is one step away from joining Laich and Lupul on Robidas island. Lou has a way of making them disappear. The trap door under his desk...

Get the L out of here!

I was watching last nights game and thinking that there was no way Ladd could keep up with that pace.

 

[mouser]

Not sure what Gross is trying to say, probably some matter of semantics.

Assuming Ladd clears and is Loaned to the AHL he won't still be on LTIR.

Would you skateboard for 4 years to earn 12mil. If you already had earned 50mil in your career?
And if you would. What about when your boss says he has a doctor who is fairly certain you dont have to skate or board anymore, and company would still pay you your 12mil to sit at home?

I'd refine my golf game and refine other skills with my wife.....

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

What is Ladd's cap hit if he is re-assigned to BPT? Do we still take a 4.5 hit for him to play in the minors?

Chances he is claimed are on par with someone trading for JHS...
