Around the NHL #15 - Ovie is Not a Choker Thread

[Calculon]

Flames are sitting at 62.5M with 15 players under contract. So 17-17.5M in cap space.

Key RFA's are Jankowski, Kulak, Rittich, Gillies and maybe Klimchuk and Shore. None of the UFA's should be brought back.

For those who aren't aware, UFAs include:
Tanner Glass
Chris Stewart
Kris Versteeg
Marek Hrivik
Matt Stajan
Matt Bartkowski
Luke Gazdic
Cody Goloubef
Tyler Wotherspoon
Dalton Prout

I think, post re-signing the above RFAs, it would be safe to say Calgary will operate with roughly 9m in cap soace entering Free Agency. Could be a little more or less either way, but 9m is a safe bet.

And knowing that Calgary/Treliving operates on an internal cap structure, the most this team will spend on any given contract is basically 7m, leaving ~2m in space, but likelier they'll go for a small assortment of assets in the 3.5-4.5m range.

Wonder who will be worth those prices (barring trade consideration of course.)

He's certainly made it sound like he doesn't want to go after big fish in UFA, but wants to improve depth. So value players I guess.

Save money for Eberle next offseason

 

[CamPopplestone]

Im guessing Jankowski signs 2 year, 2 million, the Bennett/Ferland type deal. Kulak probably signs around 1 year, 1 million but on a 1 way deal.

Taylor Hall winning the Hart trophy is mildly amusing.

(save this post for when Hamilton wins the Norris trophy with another team in 2 years)

Lindholm will win the Rocket with the Flames so it's ok tho

Oilers put Gryba on waivers for purposes of buyout. Guess Katz is getting strict on dollars, considering this will cost them 300K against the cap for two years, and if they let him play out the last year his entire 900K hit could be buried

I love this move as a Flames fan. Chia gon' Chia

Seems unnecessary. I strongly suspect they are trading that 10th OA for a body.

 

[Calculon]

Given they need every cent of cap space, its a questionable move. On the other hand, this gives Gryba a chance at joining another organization and possibly playing in the NHL this season (versus being buried the whole year). Players like that sort of thing and word gets around.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Trotz to the Isles.

Probably Tavares too. I love Trotz but that roster doesn’t look anything special to me.

To be fair, it might have to do with the contract limit, I haven't looked.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Thinking more about it I suspect it's to free up the contract spot

 

[Lunatik]

They're at 39 with 5 or 6 RFAs. I can't imagine they will sign more than 5 guys in free agency. So even the roster limit seems like a suspect excuse.

Maybe they're trading McDavid for half of Ottawa's roster?

We can only hope

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Hopefully they trade McDavid for Karlsson and Ryan and proceed to sign EK to $12 per.

Imagine that meltdown from coiler fans...

Sheary and Hunwick for a 3rd

That's a nice deal for both sides.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Sheath is good. He was a necessary inclusion to offload Hunwick, otherwise I think they'd have kept him, or traded him for a bit more if they didn't think they could afford to re-sign him after this season.

 

[Volica]

Kempny off the market at a 4 year, 10 mil deal.
He was critical to Caps cup run. That's good dollar value.
