Just put a total spend cap that is x% higher than the salary cap NHL. Tampa just keep dealing for LTIR players to get out of at this point average contracts to sign their top players. It’ll keep happening until the league implements some control.

More or less exactly what everyone thought.

Those contracts for Garland and Buchnevich are nice. If only we could've had Sam on that type of contract.

It's not going to get fixed.

More players like Seabrook will just stop playing but not retire because they are not valuable assets while not actually playing anymore. The NHLPA will defend this to the death because it means more players are getting more money.

NHL teams will defend this to the death because it allows them to come as close to buying a championship as you can in this league, and that's always good business.

We could have.

They never offered something like that to him.

In his late-night article, Friedman speculating Frederik Andersen to Buffalo, Arizona, or Carolina. He didn't have a guess on Grubauer or Ullmark, which he thinks are the two big dominos for the goaltending market.

Free-agency predictions: Will Brayden Point and Darnell Nurse be extended?

 

[Zip15]

Predictions for 7/28:

-Ullmark goes elsewhere

-BUF signs two of Andersen, Brossoit, Jones, and Reimer

-BUF signs two journeyman defensemen, including Gudbranson

-BUF signs zero UFA forwards

I would rather have Bernier over Andersen

Yeah I think there might be a possibility of 1-2 depth forwards tomorrow also but I think most of the moves will be centered around defense and goaltending. We have a projected 37 million in cap space (without the Eichel contract) and I don’t see us spending more than 15 million of It tomorrow on UFA signings.

 

[Jacob582]

I think we will be signing some AHL'ers. There is no center depth in Rochester.

 

[HaNotsri]

I'm expecting 1-2 signings with Granato connection

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

A right side of Myers, Harmonic, Poolman. All of them overpaid. Benning was definitely one of the other GMs that reportedly offered a 1st for Risto.

Carolina trading Foegele for Bear, paying Fred Anderson more than Mrazek got, pursuing DeAngelo and Virtanen.

First time in a while that I haven't liked what the Canes are doing.

I think Bear for Foegele is ok, the others are out of character for them.

Dave Waddell is acting like himself again.

 

[Dubi Doo]

McCabe got 4 years for 4 mill per…did I read that right? That’s a bold signing to put it nicely.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Puke

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Yeah naw that's an insane price for one year of Kuemper. Well done Arizona. They are loading up on the 2022 draft.
