Tampa trying to corner the market on backup goaltenders?

Is this legit?

From TSN:

"The Ottawa Senators acquired forward Ryan Callahan and a fifth-round pick in 2020 from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday for goaltender Mike Condon and a 2020 sixth-round pick. Callahan announced earlier this off-season he will not play again due to a back condition."

All Ottawa got was 5th round pick. Why would Ottawa do this ??

He waived for Ott?!

why not? it's not like he's going to play again

He waived for Ott?!

He's LTIRetired. He's not going to play again.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Easy cap dump. LTIR no longer a hurdle for us. Wonder if Condon sticks around or is flipped somehow.

 

[Lunatik]

I really hope these trades are addressed in the next CBA, at least make it so LTIRetired guys don't count towards the cap floor.

Condon's owed 2.4 million this season.

WTF is Ottawa doing?

 

[Agalloch]

Enough money to sign Point now.. I expect him to sign soon.

 

[Eye Test]

Must be some other moves in place. Real question is does Ottawa save $$$?

Cause they’ve are cheap and don’t have to pay Condon now while Cally has insurance

They also are over the floor more now

Preparing for "Five Years Of Unparalleled Success"

Callahan's contract likely is insured and they will pay him next to nothing. Condon they'd have had to pay Condon $3m in actual cash.

 

[Salva Mea]

condon owed 3 million base salary..

Is this really a question at this point?

 

[CupsOverCash]

Saves TB a few mil in cap space. One or two of those backups will be gone soon too.

 

[tmg]

why not? it's not like he's going to play again

But is his income now taxed as that of someone whose primary place of employment is Ottawa, and not Tampa?

Looking at capfriendly, they have a tad under 9m. Doesn't sound that unreasonable TBH.

That’s my question.

Help a division rival to upgrade a 6th to a 5th???

I think it is safe to assume Callahan's contract is insured, so they will be paying a fraction of Condon's $3m salary
