Friedman: Oilers trying to move Andrew Ference's cap hit

[Seachd]

To NJ- Andrew Ference, Ethan Bear

To Edm- Boston's 2017 2nd

I really doubt that's the kind of deal the Oilers are looking for.

 

[Bruin4Life]

I would hope the bruins grab it for a pick since they will be standing pat. Let him retire a bruin

 

[Seachd]

you dont receive a 2nd to dump a contract, you give one up

Seems like you missed a name there.

To NJ: Andrew Ference
To EDM: Brandon Baddock

Devils get out of the Baddock ELC which made no sense now and still makes no sense and Edmonton frees up some space. Baddock is on his first year of his ELC and has 3 assists in 18 games in the ECHL.

That's actually probably more along the lines of what the Oilers would be looking for.

Baddock was also an Edmonton Oil King and is from Vermillion, Alberta (wherever that is).

(Probably a good chance Arizona takes him in return for Vrbata with a pick).

Send in the paperwork!

Ference to Boston 50% retained for a 7th

Make the call

Leafs are rumored to be in the market for a cap dump to bring back additional assets...

What about Ference for a pair of 3rds? One this year, one next?

Leafs replace picks lost due to Babs and Lou.

 

[King In The North]

He's on LTIR with a career ending hip injury. He'd be retired if not for the fact he was still under contract this season. But because of the Oilers bonuses on McDavid/Draisaitl they can't take advantage of any bonus LTIR cap space from Ference.

Can you elaborate? Why do bonuses negate the cap relief from LTIR?

I don't see any reason the Oilers would do that. The team taking him loses literally nothing but cap space for the rest of the year.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Leafs will take Ference if you include Jones/Bear

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Can you elaborate? Why do bonuses negate the cap relief from LTIR?

They don't but until you are right at or over the cap the relief from LTIR doesn't kick in. Since the Oilers aren't they don't get that relief. So when the bonuses are tallied at the end of the year if the Oilers are at 68M and they roughly get 5M in bonus they would have to carry whatever the overage is into next season.

Of course they won't.

Not a prayer

A 3rd gets you Vanek .. Oilers are not going to throw away a couple of 3rds just to get rid of some salary.

Screw that, Bear's name is far too valuable to give up just to get rid of some cap.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Mentioned on TSN that Draisaitl looking to hit his bonuses would impact Edmonton being able to add a winger today and would need to get creative. This is that creativity.

He is on the LTIR and dies not count against the cap

 

[Diamondillium]

I mean LTIR is weird and bonuses are weird so I wouldn't be surprised if the combination of the two had a weird cap implication which meant it would be advantageous.

 

[Mr Positive]

I believe LTIR cannot be used to cover bonuses. Chia was burned by this rule in Boston I believe

I wonder if the Leafs will get hit with the same bonus problems with all the rookies doing so well. Why take on more LTIR?

 

[JarvisFunk]

Chayka is on this one. Puljujarvi + Ference for future considerations.

Why do people think Chayka is such a good GM? Phoenix is spinning in circles.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Hunwick at 50% for Ference and a 2nd

For the first time maybe ever they have a good young core to build on going forward, in only his second season at the helm...

Hunwick at 50% for Ference and a 2nd

Uhhh... I'm going to say "no", and see if Chiarelli agrees.
