Confirmed with Link: CAR Acquires Patrick Marleau along with 2020 1st (conditional) and 2020 7th for 2020 6th

[My Special Purpose]

So, I guess the value of a bottom third 1st rounder is about $5M. It ain’t my money

Not sure what math gets you there, but we paid his $3 million bonus and we owe him $416,666 each of the next two seasons. $3,833,333 total.

I saw twice the 416k for each year which would get close to 5m

the original money due to him was $4.25m (1.25m salary + 3m signing bonus). we wouldn't pay him more because of a buyout.

A first round pick with the thoughtful drafting this organization has done the last 4 or 5 years is definitely worth 4m or whatever it is.

A player like Suzuki controllable for a significant period?

Baseball hands out signing bonuses like that just to get a guy to not go to college

You're no fun at all.

And I missed the fun.

I've been reporting trolls left and right lately though. I've conformed to the system

The Marleau era is second only to the James Wisniewski era.

Think there's a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" trade coming back from SJ for enabling this circumvention of the salary cap?

Probably not. I don’t think they even want him but know they have to sign him.

You guys are so hung up on a little math/thinking issue. What's a measly $1M among friends?

Tonight in "The Sissy Tales of Asgard":

Is there anyone else we’ve ever acquired and then not been able to sign/convince to play for us?

Darcy Hordichuk comes to mind but that’s all I can think of at the moment.

Depending on what you mean by "acquired", Torey Krug.

Dadonov, if that counts
