The value is we gained over 3 mil in cap savings .
Multiple people question this from a Sens POV but its actually pretty simple...give up a 4th rounder in a future yr for a player that they can showcase for a few months and trade at the deadline for likely multiple picks (and/or a much better and sooner pick). I wouldnt be surprised to see the Sens trade him at the deadline for a 3rd in the 2020 draft and possibly another pick in 2021. So essentially 3rd in 2020 (+any other pick) > 4th in 2021...worst case, they'll recoup the 4th at the very least.
That's probably the thinking... but Vlad is going to struggle mightily without elite talent around him. Weirdly, I think there's an outside shot he clicks with somebody. PP1 time would help, if you've got a spot to spare.
I don't know why this is hard for some people to understand.
the value is even more then that. its 3m for the trade dead line and 2.5m next year savings as we most likely have rookies hitting performance bonuses. The overage carries to next season if it cant be paid under this years cap. His salary being shed ensures we don't get dinged with performance bonus dead cap next year. Moving Names for anyhing and not taking a contract back with a nhl cap hit is a massive win.
Absolutely. This is the biggest value the Rangers got back. The pic and player are either gravy or semantics.
First off, .75m retained, and Nick Ebert makes 300k. That brings the salary down to 2.95m/yr. Second off, I don't think its just about that. It's about getting a decent player, too, and helping to ensure that we don't need to force a player who isn't ready into the lineup. I also wouldn't be entirely surprised to see us re-sign him if the price is right, and trade a player like Pageau, who will likely demand too much money and will get a very good return from a contender
Garrioch said last night that he’s likely not here past this season, whether or not he’s traded at the deadline.
Now, Garrioch isn’t exactly the most reliable guy, on the best of days, so that can be taken with a grain of salt. If he’s saying something, it’s usually based on what the organization wants him to say, as he is connected deeply with the organization. Whether or not it’s true (I’m sure him saying Sens expected to sign Stone was what the Sens wanted him to say, even if they knew it wasn’t true) is yet to be seen.
Remember that the Rangers retained 750K in cap hit/salary so its actually not 4m but 3.25m. But the cap isnt calculated "yearly", its actually calculated on a daily basis so its worth noting that because the trade occurred a few days after the start of the season, the Rangers paid some additional portion of his salary. Thus right now he's projected to account for 3,162,634 in salary/cap space assuming he makes it to the end of the season.
Not only in Tampa, but on a line with Stamkos and Kucherov. People who thought he was more than an average 3rd liner were out of their minds.
