Salary Cap: Salary Cap & Roster Building - The Undisputed Era

[HandshakeLine]

Legit 1st d? No way Jose. Josi, Ekholm and Ellis were all clearly better than him this season and they earn half of what Subban does.

I thought about arguing with you about this, but then I realized I absolutely do not care what you say about this topic, so cool. Have fun!

 

[Slaaapshuter]

I member when two 2nd's gave you a slightly used crankshaft.

Cap space is king.

Cap space is king.

And NJ's got it in spades, so for them, cost is really a non-issue. Even if you think PK is overpaid, it really makes no difference for NJ, assuming the owners are cool with paying it.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Yet we are still paying jj and guds combined 7+mil.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Probably 3 years, $10 million or so.

 

[Peat]

I'm not a big Subban fan, but for that cost and with so much cap space, that's pretty good.

 

[66-30-33]

Who's going to fill in 2nd pair RD for the Preds? Ellis moves to 1st pair RD now. If we could get someone to fill Schultz spot I'd trade Schultz for cap space.

 

[SomeDude]

NJ has begun the campaign for Hall to stay

 

[davemess]

Probably 3 years, $10 million or so.

Pretty reasonable bridge contract

 

[Gurglesons]

Probably 3 years, $10 million or so.

People handwringing the Marleau deal need to realize this is why they paid a 1st. They get Kappy, Johansson and Marner signed.

they have young guys coming up. Good deal for NSH. Good deal for NJ.

Doubt they get Marner signed tbh

The tough thing is if that's the price to get rid of Marleau there is no way we're getting rid of JJ without doing the same.

That's what I expected all along of course but some people thought we could get rid of him for less. Doesn't appear to be the case.

Rooting for a team desperate for good D, it's quite disheartening seeing guys like Trouba and Subban going for firesale prices and we can't get in on it. But yeah for Subban at full price we wouldn't be able to do it even if we technically had the space unlike NJ.

Hopefully, the sale of D's are not finished and a couple of them ends up here.

If that's the cost to get rid of JJ without retaining, then just buy him out.

 

[Andy99]

Probably 3 years, $10 million or so.

Exactly what I and others expected. Sheary money bridge deal. That’s why I thought an OS at a little over $4 would make sense

 

[wej20]

Who's going to fill in 2nd pair RD for the Preds? Ellis moves to 1st pair RD now. If we could get someone to fill Schultz spot I'd trade Schultz for cap space.

I'm guessing Dante Fabbro long term but next season I imagine they'll rely heavily on Ellis, Josi and Ekholm and then try to add at the deadline.

 

[Pengu]

We can't go for more d's unless we unloads some 1st. Already have 8

Buy him out, isn't it 1M in cap space for 8 years?

 

[pensfan71]

Buy him out, isn't it 1M in cap space for 8 years?

That would be the sensible move

That’s what happens when you give JJ money and overpay for Schultz etc

 

[Pancakes]

If that's the cost to get rid of JJ without retaining, then just buy him out.

Agreed. I think JR won't do either as doing either admits he made a huge mistake and he was so arrogantly smug about how the Pens had their own analytics that said JJ could be good.

 

[Pengu]

Buying out JJ would not be fun

 

[Slaaapshuter]

Well aware...

 

[HandshakeLine]

Buy him out, isn't it 1M in cap space for 8 years?

Or see if you can retain 750k and see if someone bites. Or find him a doctor that declares him allergic to sweat and then write him off as a LTIR for the remainder of the contract.

 

[Peat]

I'm guessing Dante Fabbro long term but next season I imagine they'll rely heavily on Ellis, Josi and Ekholm and then try to add at the deadline.

Beat me to it. Yup. That's Fabbro's spot.
