Player Discussion: Andrew Ladd

[CREW99AW]

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.

No way in hell I would walk away and leave that type of $ on the table.

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...

Players on 1-way contract assigned to the minors have their cap hits reduced by $1.075m. So Ladd's AHL cap hit would be $4.425m.

 

[Riseonfire]

Love this move for both the NHL club and AHL club.

Having NHL vets in the AHL is a huge plus for the kids. Koivula, Bellows, Wall-E..... all can learn from Ladd.

For our NHL club, addition by subtraction lol

Thanks... so the contract is buried but most of the body is sticking out.

Lou, can you dig a deeper hole?

Lou's too old for that now. But he's got a guy.

What's the name of Lou's cap guy?

Tom Gordon.

We weren’t at the cap anyway so it doesn’t really affect us. Unless, of course we bring in a big contract. But this wasn’t done for the cap space - There’s just no place for Ladd here. Maybe ever.
He and Hickey can buy steak dinners for the you g kids - they can alternate weeks.

He's gotta hack off the exposed part. It's a sin, ya know, you can't just leave it there.

Tom Gordon.

My recollection is that it was an Italian name....

[not trying to be funny - that's actually what I recall]

Tom Gordon is German-Irish. He's um, like a counselor, an advisor, very important to the family.

Tom Gordon.

A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Gordon
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist
Catch the myth
Catch the mystery
Catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Gordon, he gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you

Good god I never really realized just how bad Rush actually sucks until you read the lyrics.

But what about?

 

[xECK29x]

Holy shit boys

 

[xECK29x]

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?

Steve Pellegrini, long time Lou guy

Tom Hagen you mean?

 

[steveat]

Gordon Lightfoot?

 

[Sparksrus3]

all can learn from Ladd.

Five simple words yet when they are brought together they make no sense to me .

 

[ichabod13]

Tom Hagen you mean?

Yup......where the hell did I get Gordon from?????
Sheesh.....Gordon and Hagen aren't even close........
f*** it, I'm blaming Budweiser!!

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Pretty smart move. Now they can shuttle him up and down whenever they want.

 

[xECK29x]

Not sure if you guys saw directly what Lou said but it sounds like this is being done moreso for him to play games vs permanent assignment but I guess we’ll see.

**** it, I'm blaming Budweiser!!

You won't be the first.
