Confirmed Buy-Out [NSH] Kyle Turris and Steven Santini

[preds1]

The alternative would be to spend $6M in cap for 4 years hoping he could one day crack 35 points or play PK.

 

[swiftwin]

I called it back when he signed that deal:

Come back in a few years. There's no way Turris is making it to 34 @ $6M. He'll get bought out, guaranteed. He's just fast enough to be effective right now. If he even loses half a step, while the rest of the league continues to become faster and faster, he'll be completely useless. He doesn't have the size or the IQ to overcome that.

Rumor: - Trade Rumors/Proposals/Free Agents 2018-2019

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Oof

No other word to describe it i guess.

While i do think Turris still has 2C level productivity in him in the right environment, it's impossible to move that kind of salary right now.

 

[rubikscube]

I would take a flyer on him. Put him between Laine and Ehlers and see if he can be our Stastny 2.0. If not, no harm

 

[LMFAO]

It just makes way too much sense for everybody for Turris to sign one year in Winnipeg.

-Perfect stop gap for Perfetti
-Turris has the chance to be a 2c centering two great young players, Ehlers and Laine.
-Puts Turris in the best position to succeed and cash in next off season.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why does David Poile still has a job. lmao

 

[780il]

Would take him in Edmonton for cheap. But he probably goes to Winnipeg to play with high end players on a 2nd line.

Why does David Poile still has a job. lmao

I'm a Preds fan and have been asking that the last few seasons.

 

[Hasbro]

Kamenev headed to the KHL and is unqualified, so there’s that.

 

[Boondock]

I have no issue in bringing in Turris, even as a center, to spread out some scoring.

I do have massive reservations with how Benning has thrown money at UFAs in the past.

I hope Gear has the right of refusal on offering big, ridiculous contracts, especially if we are pursuing UFAs with Benning's/Gear's handling of Toffoli, Tanev and Markstrom so far.

I have no faith in Benning as a GM so I understand this reservation whole-heartedly. This is more of a what I would do, but my "no experience" probably puts me on par with Jimmy.

 

[Stormcrow]

Is the Turris buyout the shittiest in the NHL? ie. longest with highest cap hit??

 

[jetsforever]

Wonder if Jets should look at Turris

Well don't be THAT hard on yourself buddy.

If we can do it for a workable term, and cap hit, I'm all for it, but I don't see that as being a plausible scenario as of yet.

[North Cole]

Haha best GM they say.

 

[The don godfather]

Turris can still play.

 

[Hitemwith4]

Do players still get the full salary (whats remaining of it) or is 2/3 like the cap hit?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

So besides Arizona, Ottawa, and Nashville, is there any other cities where he is anpersona-non-grata

 

[japhi]

With Bonino being traded and the Turris buyout all of a sudden Nashville has some cash to spend on Friday.

Future buy outs! What could possibly go wrong, Poile is great with a few dollars in his hands.

Compliance buyout iirc, which didn't count against the cap. Def real dollars paid out though hehe
