OT: Around the NHL - Dallas/Tampa

[66-30-33]

Imagine having a beast like this on your blueline... Imagine... All we can do. Hopefully Marino hits this level one day.

Are they that light or is he that strong?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

They say he makes his own hockey sticks with entire trees he punches and then shapes with his teeth.

 

[Rakell67]

The Cup is 40 lbs I believe.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

The Cup is 40 lbs I believe.

I imagine the Conn Smythe is less than that. Definitely a strong guy but not that surprising/impressive. It would be more of the balance with holding the Smythe like that, but I'm sure being 6'7" and having huge hands helps with that.

Sheary also scored 18 while spending more time on the 3rd line that one year. He's a better depth player than you or most want to give any credit to.

Understand one thing. Your issue is with how Sullivan uses him. Let that marinate a little. He doesn't go to Sully and say yo fam use me on Sid's wing so we can market that sid and grown kids thing now yo.

I actually have no issues with Sheary like most on here. I was fine with them bringing him back. I was just stating the facts Sid got him paid. His best seasons were with Sid obviously.

I was just saying Sid matched Kessel's production in the playoffs with a young player in Sheary on his wing going up against 1s. Kessel had similar production with a stacked line going against 3s. I get it would have been a good story for Kessel to get it. But the franchise C deserved that. Kessel had a chance to seal a game and I think if he gets that goal that would have put him slightly above Sid but he didn't.

 

[Tom Hanks]

It’s official

EDIT:
Real dollars 1.5 mil per year for 2 years
Cap hit 5.5 mil next season then 1.5 mil the season after

 

[Tom Hanks]

Ouch

 

[Ogrezilla]

is there an official start date for next season yet? I see reports of Dec 1 as a target, but nothing concrete.

 

[SirBrad]

Ouch

Operating like a true New York team.

I haven’t seen anything about starting. They still have to work out the logistics of what they’ll do.

They do need to finish before the Olympics start because NBC has the TV rights and they also have hockey in the US and that starts July 23rd.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Great career King if it is truly the end. Was such a great goalie for a long period of time. That’s really hard to do, much respect even though you’re a Ranger.

I’ll miss these though

 

[Malkinstheman]

I think Bettman basically confirmed the season wont start till next year. I remember seeing Late January/February as possible dates.

That would suck. Though mostly I just want a date so I can try to plan a fantasy draft

Does t help with what you are looking for but some added insight to next season

NHL to consider concept of hybrid bubbles for 2021 season - TSN.ca

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

That explains things a bit. Bummer for Dallas.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ouch

That Richards buyout is a killer.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

That explains things a bit. Bummer for Dallas.

Holy shit. I feel a bit bad for calling him out on here a few times.

 

[66-30-33]

Ouch

Yet Pens can't even buyout friggin Jack Johnson LOL!!!

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

See what I mean tho that things could be worse? So many teams with way worse contracts(6x6 type deals) than JJ at 3x3.25. Nasvhille is buying out Turris and that will cost them 2 mil for the next 8 years. Thats terrible. We would be flipping out if we were in that situation.

Canucks are a playoff team yet have a ton of bad contracts. What they do with them this off season could determine if they remain a contender or not. They have tough decisions to make.

We all just look at what JR does but there are plenty of bad decisions around the league.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Things could be worse; We could outright miss the playoffs as opposed to being swept in the first round or losing a play-in 3-1. Silver linings, etc.

Would you trade JJ at 3M for Turris at 3M? Pens retain 250K and Preds retain 3M, after Nashville buys JJ out for a low cap hit for 6 years and it works out better for them long term.

Nashville would be paying just under 4M for the next 4 years if they did that and then another ~1.8M for JJ alone after. Turris’ buyout is 16M. This would be 17.5M minus some retention and they’d be paying more during the Covid fallout. The only appeal would be no dead cap space in years 7 and 8 from a Turris buyout.

918K or whatever JJ's 4-6 year buyout window vs 2M. It's more cap for 4 years (2M vs just over 4M) but in the end cheaper once the retention is over.

Yeah, but it’s 12M of retention over 4 years for Turris and JJ’s buyout is 5.5M over 6. Turris’ is 16M over 8. It’s cheaper to just buy Turris out and only be paying 2M closer to Covid when teams are dealing with a flat cap and trying to cut spending. All they get with JJ is the buyout being over 2 years sooner and cheaper in years 5 and 6 because most of the money has already been paid out.

They’d still be paying more overall and spending more during the current crisis.
