Proposal: B. Seabrook and M. Hossa's contract for B. Ryan

[Spazkat]

So the Sens take on all the cap and somehow the Hawks end up with the only useful player in the deal? Dorion does some dumb shit, but not this dumb

Marian Hossa will never play hockey again but there is no way he would accept Ottawa to be the last place he played for. He would never waive for this, even to help Chicago.

Yes he would. It doesn't matter to him. He's done as a player.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

This doesn't save the Sens money.

It saves Melnyk ~$15M-20M because of the difference between actual salary and cap.

$20M goes a long way in making those financing payments.

 

[Iceman]

Cap hit is irrelevant for the Sens right now, only actual paid dollars matter.

 

[Benjamin]

It saves Melnyk ~$15M-20M because of the difference between actual salary and cap.

$20M goes a long way in making those financing payments.

Ryan = 30mil
Seabrook + Hossa = 40mil

Doubt it happens even if it would be nice to see Hossa finish his career as a Senator.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Ryan = 30mil
Seabrook + Hossa = 40mil

Once again, relative to cap.
It allows Melnyk to unload more contracts and still be a cap floor team.

In the first 3 years alone he can save nearly $15M in actual salary payments relative to cap.

I didn’t see a lot of him last year but has Seabrook really fallen off the cliff forever?

Or was it just a down year?

but he's still bringing in more money then he's sending. Which is an instant deal breaker.

 

[McSuper]

Melnyk is a cheapass. He won't do this.

Do you see Ottawa attendance ? Everyone knows you can't spend more money then you take in or the business goes broke . I am sure if it was your money you would see it differently .

He could trade Karlsson and Duchene for load of draft picks, still make the cap floor, and save millions in actual salary.
