That means Cap get no cap room right? They will have to clear something.

if he is sent down they get ~$1m in reprieve which I believe is his salary.

I will be thrilled if Hagelin gets a 3rd

 

[HolyGhost]

so.....where is the trade I was promised?

Yes, but to ever bring him back up, they need to have that amount in available cap space?

 

[YP44]

yup,

injuries happen.

 

[ottomaddox]

I'm so happy TOR didn't pick him up.

He's been struggling.

Perhaps he'll bounce back next season.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

yup,

injuries happen.

Yeah but I’m saying that the Capitals are so up against the Cap that they won’t have enough room to even bring him back up.

They reported Jaskin was practicing this morning. Why would they let him practice if he’s getting traded?

Some form of salary has to go out for them.

I think he is part of the LA deal. Why wouldn't they let him practice.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Because they have known what the trade was since yesterday. It makes no sense to have him practicing with the team when he’s part of a trade. That and some freak injury could happen.

If he wasn't going to be traded, he would've been waived.

 

[Joel Ward]

Hagelin at 50% for DSP and a 3rd

Edit: Caps have only 48 contracts so could just hold on to DSP

 

[redcard]

I thought it was Smith-Belly ?

My inner 3rd grader calls him Pith-Smelly

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

If he wasn't going to be traded, he would've been waived.

Yes I know that. But if they have known what the trade was yesterday, why would they let the person involved in the trade practice today? It makes no sense.

You don’t want a guy getting injured in practice right before a trade that’s about to happen. That’s why most people tend to speculate hard when a guy misses practice as the TDL is approaching.

 

[YP44]

Yeah don’t want a guy getting injured in practice right before a trade that’s about to happen. That’s why most people tend to speculate hard when a guy misses practice as the TDL is approaching.

Maybe they wanted him for some drills or line rushes. Maybe he is not a big part of the deal and had he gotten injured they would have just subbed in DSP and waived Jaskin.

If I knew how to insert the Iverson "talking about Practice" gif here I would

Well DSP is reporting to Hershey, so there's a million in cap space.

 

[justafan22]

here we go?

In most cases, but if its a guy thrown in just to send an spc the other way the low injury risk is probably preferable to losing a day of skating.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Well DSP is reporting to Hershey, so there's a million in cap space.

Yes, but if they ever want to bring him back up, they need to have $1 million in available cap space.

Maybe. Would be risky. Caps beat reporter already posted the lines today without Jaskin.

 

[Misery74]

Does LA care if they get a hurt Jaskin?

 

[riznat]

tick tock

As it works out, DSP will cool his heels and work a fitness program for the rest of the regular season. When the playoffs start the salary cap is lifted and DSP returns. Smooth

Feels like the dmv.
