Value of: Ovechkin Buyout (hear me out)

[Paneerboy]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this website. Congratulations.

Why do I smell weed all of the sudden?

Penguins "fan". Try to remember that when a rogue Caps "fan" with a couple hundred posts puts a ridiculous thread on the main board.

I don't count him as a Caps fan but that's fair enough. My apologies.

I know whats this about

Mushroom mushroom mushroom mushroom

Aaaaa snake

Ovie isn't going anywhere. If the Caps get ousted early in the playoffs this season, I could see the Caps entertaining the idea of trading Holtbeast. As good as he is, Grubauer had a very good season, is a few years younger and won't cost as much.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

It specifies this in the compliance buyout section, but not the regular buyout section.

Okay, fair enough.

 

[mouser]

NHL would slap the Caps with a circumvention penalty then probably block the team from reacquiring Ovi.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

When you have to put "hear me out" in the thread title, you should probably reconsider making that thread.

I used to do this in NHL 13

 

[DarthProbert]

I love it. NHL GMs aren't that creative though.

OP is the same guy who tries to trade Tom Brady and Antonio Brown to his friend for Jay Cutler and Cole Beasley the day after his team gets eliminated from fantasy football.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Not gonna happen. But it brings to mind OVs deal. He signed a 13 year $124 million deal which began in the 08-09 season. He's just completed year 10 of the deal.

Alex Ovechkin - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

How often does at 13 year deal end up being a bargain for a team? Not only has it been a great deal, but it wasn't a cheater's deal. His salary was $9 million for the first 6 years and $10 million for the remaining 7 years. It wasn't one of those Shea Weber-type deals. Weber made $14 million for the first 4 years of the deal and will make $1 million in each of the last 3 years. Weber's AAV cap hit is $7.86 million compared to OVs 9.54 AAV.

Nothing against Shea Weber or Nashville-they took advantage of the rules. It's just an interesting comparison when one looks at OVs deal.

Dafuq did I just read? LMAO

M. Night: Hockey Edition

 

[McLeafy]

Wow...

So basically you forgot the following

-he needs to clear waivers
-he can't be on your team for a whole year
-blatant cap circumvention

I guess it works if we just ignore all the rules that would prevent this from working

 

[ovikovy817]

I stopped reading after this

" Yes I am a Penguins"

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Then he Kovalchuk's you and you now have the fate of the 2013 Devils. Good luck resigning Ghost, Prov, TS.


Your team once these guys are getting bridge deals/longterm contracts will be putting the Flyers up against the cap. You're not going to be able to get under the cap to start the season.

How do you so clearly lack understanding of a post that you wrote?

 

[Rich Nixon]

I stopped reading after this

" Yes I am a Penguins"

"Ovechkin Buyout (hear me out)" is what did it for me.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Wait. Why do the Caps buyout Ovechkin?

Because OP is a Pens fan.

 

[Kupo]

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

The rule book says you can't sign a player. But I don't see where it says you can't trade for... please direct me.


@ChaoticOrange Ovie only want's to play in DC. If it's not DC he is going back to Russia (and let me reiterate he want's to stay in the NHL - IN DC). Arizona and Philly aren't going to keep him because Ovie doesn't want to be there and would have no shot at resigning without the trade and they both benefit greatly for being the middleman.

Could be wrong but Im pretty sure Ovechkin cant play for Washington for a year if they buy him out

 

[WingsMJN2965]

How has this not been closed yet?

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

I love it. NHL GMs aren't that creative though.

AKA, NHL GMs understand the rule book and know **** like this won't fly, even if it's not expressly prohibited by a line in the rule book.

 

[bleedgreen]

Didn’t the caps owner just say his biggest regret about Ovy’s contract is that it isn’t longer?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Love that the worst post of 2017-18 happened on the very last day, like Benn winning the Art Ross in the final minute of the season. A true accomplishment.

not even close to the worst post. Maybe the worst idea, but there have been some real cancerous posts this year.
