Next players to conveniently go on LTIR for the rest of their contract?

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Parise.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Zetterberg and Parise are good guesses for the next ones I think.

 

[Captain Controversy]

hamonic, tanev, Okposo, lucic, Backes.

 

[Bieber fever]

Carey Price

 

[Koivu11]

Shea Weber is headed down that path.

Because a blocked shot broke his foot? He barely missed any games prior to this injury.

 

[Mister Ed]

Zetterberg is likely to be a candidate, maybe even Kronwall.

 

[TheMule93]

Zetterberg is likely to be a candidate, maybe even Kronwall.

Kronwall will definitely play out the last year remaining on his contract

Zetterberg is going to have a tough time coming up with an excuse. He admitted his contract was cap circumventing and that he probably won't play it out, plus he's currently having the healthiest stretch of his career.

 

[Rich Nixon]

No, because he's signed for a trillion dollars a season until he's 451 years old.

This is hf. That foot injury is enough to push him from being a top 10 defenseman in the world last season to being out of most posters top 30 this season.

He's a guy the corsiheads love to hate on.

He's signed to the same age Zdeno Chara currently is, last i checked he was a pretty effective mentor on the first pairing.

 

[Martin Skoula]

He's signed to the same age Zdeno Chara currently is, last i checked he was a pretty effective mentor on the first pairing.

Almost like he's 6'9 and doesn't have to be fast to cover a lot of ground.

Weber isn't effective now, let alone when he's Chara's age.

 

[Kind Sir]

Jay Boumeester.

LTIR until camp, one year left, 5 mill.

In a league where you can get LTIR'ed by saying, "My gear makes me itchy" you don't think a guy who legitimately needed back surgery from sitting on a plane too long can get LTIR'ed?

 

[Frank Drebin]

This is where i reply to you and we have a balanced and reasonable discussion about hockey without relying solely on secondary statistics.

One of the best gms in the game missed your memo on Dan Girardi. Worst player in the league by far your said.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Almost like he's 6'9 and doesn't have to be fast to cover a lot of ground.

Like the rest of the great defensemen that played into their late 30's, who were all 6'9.

 

[Martin Skoula]

How many of those were playing like an 8 million dollar defenseman at 40? Lidstrom and Chelios?

Weber isn't big or skilled enough to lose a lot of mobility and still play like a top pairing guy.

There is a difference between not living up to your cap hit but still being an effective player and being ltir/buyout worthy.

That said, i wouldn't be surprised to see Weber not play out his final 3 three years due to low salary alone.

I mean my former GM gave him that deal and I love him as a player, was just explaining the rationale. He'll be an LTIR on some cap floor team in 2022.

 

[tony d]

Thinking Shea Weber.

If Hossa can be allergic to his equipment, I'm sure DET can come up with an excuse for Zetterberg

 

[Voight]

Weber isn't effective now, let alone when he's Chara's age.

He was 6th in Norris voting last year. (That's higher than any Rangers d-man since Leetch btw)

He's still effective.

 

[Voight]

Pretty funny how people still think Hossa's medical issue is fake & the team is circumventing the cap.

I imagine Marleau will be building a cottage on Robidas Island in year 3 of his contract

 

[MXD]

I totally expect Weber to "skip" a few years at the end of his contract.

But what I don't understand is people thinking there won't be any player to do so BEFORE he does. I mean... Andrew Ladd and Andrew Shaw are both really obvious calls here (for different reasons), who are signficantly likelier to get there much before Weber (one could always argue that they'd be candidates to such as move as soon as 2018-2019!)... And it's not like I perused the list of the NHL past first name "Andrew".

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

No, because he's signed for a trillion dollars a season until he's 451 years old.

I generally ignore posts like this but that was so exaggerated that I had to laugh haha kudos.
