Confirmed with Link: Coyotes Acquire Datsyuk and #16 for #20, #53 and Joe Vitale

[rt]

I'd of done that deal for Dante Fabbro, not for Chychrun. And I really don't like 53 included in that deal.

I like Chychrun better than Fabbro.

Can someone explain what actually happens with absorbing datsyuks contract? How are we not responsible for his actual salary? Without looking at his contract structure was this completely front loaded? What is he owed and what does this do for us as far as cap space and what we intend to spend? Does this take away from free agent spending and trading?

 

[SniperHF]

If he's retired you simply don't have to pay him. Same goes for Detroit.

He's retired, no money owed

My big issue with moves like this and the Pronger move, is that we are intentionally gimping ourselves. We are cheating the system so that we don't have to actually pay as much money as other teams to field a roster. This is 13 million dollars nearly under the cap floor that we technically don't have to spend. Unless we are spending 60 mil+ real dollars on a roster, I don't want to watch the product on the ice.

 

[DesertDawg]

...maybe he'll change his mind

 

[SniperHF]

We are going to be above the floor without the cap hits. Just like last year.

k bye.

There's basically no way they don't end up over the floor, even without Pronger and Datsyuk.

but okay.

So what does this do to our spending this offseason?

According to Morgan, even after this trade, apparently we want another top RHD, a scoring UFA, sign Doan, and sign our RFA's.

Do we still spend to get these? If not, what do we give up?

They should be able to. Even if they did trade to make all that happen there isn't a lot of movable money going out, so it would still cost since we wouldn't be sending much money the other way.

Oh, well in that case I dont give one **** about taking that contract then.

 

[Kaibur]

They don't usually insure cheap players like that. So it's probably real money.

Huh. If that's the case, it's not a bad deal.

 

[DesertDawg]

I can see us getting close to the ceiling. I now suspect that Doan will sign a easy-to-reach bonus-laden contract.

I think we can still do all of these things listed above, still.

I think this is great. I know chychrun dropped overall, but wasn't he like #3 ranked in the draft last year? He's good. Saw a mock draft yesterday that had Edmonton taking him at #4. I kind of feel like we got a steal here.

They've got $20m in actual cash to get that done, I'm sure they can.

My thinking is that they considered Goligoski to be the big contract flashy UFA signing that they kept promising. I am not sure that the ownership wants to spend that many real dollars in free agency.

Vitale costs rea dollars. Datsyuk is pretend dollars. Sounds like we had Chychrun top ten. Good job Chayka.

Yep, so far I'm impressed with Chayka.

Ready to call it quits on the "stupid way" slogan?

I thought it was "fire everyone"?

Let's not count ALL of our chickens before they hatch. But yeah, it's been a great month for the Coyotes

Yes. Pretty much. We got through the draft with no rage. And I love the Goligoski pickup. We'll see how things round out.

 

[hbk]

Horrible asset management but we got a guy we wanted. Cap hit doesn't matter as we weren't going to use it anyways. Would have liked to squeeze another asset or not given up 53 instead of just saving vitale's $1.3 Million.

 

[hbk]

How in the heck did we acquire more D in past week than the Oilers?

JuJust poking a little well deserved fun. rt has been doing that for years, he understands.

Our prospects are better than the Wings, so why waste a contract or two. I wouldn't want the two players that were mentioned that the Wings wanted to include in this trade

Amazing, but I think that might change soon.

They are stupid and went into the draft with their pick when they should have taken the best deal on the table heading into the draft and FA.
