Amazing how the TSN insiders literally don't give a **** about the 2-3 weeks around arbitration time. Friedman breaking every bit of news. Enjoy your cottages boys.

 

[Stuzchuk]

good deal for the Wings

I guess they upper management are still not convince on him or would prefer to deal Howard first before signing a long term deal

if I'd be in their shoes I'd do the same but for me it's not the off-season it's the busiest time of the year...

 

[CorgisPer60]

Friedman is doing God's work.

So, according to CapFriendly the Red Wings are now about $4.2 million over the salary cap. General Fanager has them over by about $4.8 million. Who do they dump to get under the cap? I think the window for a buy-out (e.g. Jimmy Howard) is closed now.

Who would take Howard and his $5.3M deal? I can't think of many teams who'd be in on that.

Franzen and Vitale are LTIRetired

 

[Whileee]

Franzen and Vitale are LTIRetired

Thanks. So they are right against the cap with a roster of 22? Not much flexibility.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

They still have to be accounted on the Cap for day 1 before being put on LTIR. Same as the Bruins with Savard.

Wingz will have to trade someone.

It's the Kenny Holland special.

That is definitely not the case.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

hmmm expected... He's such a good goalie and will be extremely rich after this deal is expires

No they don't.

Team's don't have to be compliant on day 1 before exercising the LTIR exception. It's usually more advantageous to do so, but not required.

They can LTIR them both on the last day of training camp and be compliant, however that would leave the Wings with zero additional cap space to start the season.

Kid's a beast, now let's just move Howard.

This is Ken Holland, he enjoys logjams.

 

[Erndog]

Man, I was just looking at the Red Wings salary cap structure and it is just absolutely atrocious. Long term, big money deals everywhere, to relatively unimpactful, aging players. Just a complete and utter mess, wow. I honestly wouldn't trade any assets for virtually any one of their deals that extend beyond next season.

Just a tire fire going on over there.

(Mrazak deal not withstanding- which is a nice deal).

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

No they don't.

They don't have to trade someone or they don't count on the Cap on day 1?

Bruins had to account for Savard 4.1M Cap hit on day 1 before putting him on LTIR for the year. Why wouldn't it be the same for the Wingz?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

going rate for a young goalie nowadays

still in awe of the sweet deal Anaheim has Gibson signed to for next 3 years though!

why is their buy out window closed? Isn't it open for 48 hours from the time arbitration was scheduled?

By day 1 I meant after training camp. They have to be cap compliant.

If general fanager is correct, and they LTIR Franzen and Vitale, then they only have about $203k in cap space, which means they wouldnt even have enough space to send down someone like Athanasiou ($628k) and call up Mantha ($863k) (not saying this case specifically, but just making the point)

 

[mouser]

By day 1 I meant after training camp. They have to be cap compliant.

And as I said they don't have to be compliant after training camp. The LTIR exception can be exercised during training camp, before the season starts. The cap relief gained can differ depending on whether a team exercises the LTIR exception during training camp vs doing so on day 1.

They will be compliant by LTIR those players on the last day of training camp.

The Wings post-arbitration buyout window will open on Saturday 7/30 through Monday 8/2.
