Quincey and Smith paired together, So Marchy is out.

Where are you getting this from?

 

[Henkka]

Some weird cap rules force now for these actions. Ryan Martin should give us more info.

Franzen LTIR should give us 3.9M in more cap space, but somehow that is not happening.

Our all contracts without any IR's are only 1.3M over the real cap, so why isn't that Franzen room usable at the moment?

 

[Vladdy84]

So Mule isn't on LTIR? WTF?

Kronwall-DD
Marchenko-Quincey
Smith-Green

Sounds like they screwed up royally by having Pavel on LTIR to start the season. If you do that, evidently it whacks your overage off of your annual cap number. Which is stupid. But that's what everyone (Malik, wiim) seems to be saying. Mule wasn't on LTIR but Pavel was.

Teams with LTIRs generally get under the cap with those players before opening night so as to avoid this kind of issue. Not sure if it was Martin or KH or someone else that screwed it up, but it looks like whoever it was did a peach of a job screwing the entire cap for the season.

Tie goes to the Vet!!!

At least it does in this case.

 

[skate skate skate]

Miller placed on LTIR. Poor guy!

 

[Probie]

But who is out?

I guess it's AM. Sigh.

nvm, seems they haven't decided. if he sits Ericsson I will be incredibly happy. AM I will be pissed. Smith will be indifference.

KQ would be a good deadline move, he frees up salary for an incoming move, we have a replacement in AM, plus we get an asset back. I think hes played well the this season and last though.

On NHL.Com but on the site it shows Quincey and Green paired and DeKeyser and Smith paired. Not sure what's happening there.

Blash said it's a game time decision who sits. And I've seen no tweet about marchy being a scratch, that's why I wondered where you that from. I assume they're only guessing?

Yeah there's no tweet from Khan yet on the Defensive pairings, So you're most likely correct about it only being speculative right now.

So for the mathematically challenged, does anyone know what the Wings salary cap is?

So for the mathematically challenged, does anyone know what the Wings salary cap is?

All I know is that it isn't as simple as adding the player's aav to the cap ceiling. Unless the team is right at the ceiling you subtract the amount up to the ceiling from the player's aav and then add that to the teams cap number giving you the new cap ceiling. So, Franzen's 3.9 doesn't come off in its entirety.

This site says 73.2.

 

[WesNichols14]

While marchy has been great so far this year, I get it. Smith has been playing pretty good hockey and has put up some points. He's probably at least tradable now. Let him try to build that value before the deadline.

 

[Hammettf2b]

 

[Henkka]

Hmm, I predict Miller is out until the trade deadline and there we could see some cap moves.

 

[Henkka]

- Howard in net
- Miller out from PK (was 100% again when he returned for 5 periods)
- Smith-Quincey (as called as kryptonite for each other) prossibly together again
- Back-to-back game

Nice situation for tonights game!

 

[FissionFire]

Smith and Green have been very good together. If you are sitting Marchenko I think you just move Quincey into his spot.

 

[TheMule93]

So marchy plays well and gets benched as a reward

good job blashill

 

[Electric Thunder]

Still no official line announcement?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

The Kings are a very heavy team, hope the boys are ready for that.

 

[theYman]

Is Marchy out or not? God I hope not. He seems like the glue to finally settle our top 4 in nicely. Sit Kronner he sucks this year.

 

[theYman]

Howie needs to have his head in this game. He usually is good against LA. No more 3 goal performances please in the 1st period

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Let's Go Red Wings same score as the game in Detroit Wings 3 Kings 2
