Salary Cap: Salary Cap Thread - Free-Agent Frenzy

If he came back here


Fleury traded to Zona at 25% and Zona traded him to Pens at 50% so he's 75% off.

I think they would have. Ottawa was a much tougher out than the Craps.

Jonathan Bernier seems pretty vanilla.

Yeah, I'm the one rewriting history when your memory expires sometime in the last three weeks.

bro, that was a cap dump. Keith has two years remaining at $5.5 million

You really think Fleury blew that series, and not the fact that Vegas couldn't score against a shitty Montreal team?

If I had to guess, Fleury doesn’t want to play for Chicago. But I don’t know. This will be interesting to monitor.

Yes. That moment shifted the series.

Okay? They traded him because he asked for a trade. Getting out of his salary had nothing to do with that, they traded him because he wanted out.

Can we go back to talking about something more interesting like the poor decisions in the 1st round of the 2022 NHL entry draft?

Exactly how I feel about it.

Okay that's an asininely stupid take but whatever.

I want to believe.

On ice, the difference between MAF and Jarry is pretty significant. MAF just won a Vezina, finished top 5 a couple of other years, and is capable of stealing a playoff series. Jarry is a mediocre goalie who is tasked with not screwing things up....which he did anyway. We all know MAF's history of gaffes, but it still somehow wasn't as bad as Jarry. If the choice is between the 2, I really don't see how anyone would pick Jarry over MAF.

They traded Keith for cap reasons. Just like we dumped Tanev & McCann. Teams that do that are cap strapped.

Ovi at 9.5. I imagine Geno asks for the same.

Murray fell apart the moment MAF left the team. Coincidence I guess.

Jarry fell apart after being an all-star when he didn't have a veteran backing. Coincidence I guess.

Maybe there's something more to THIS team winning than just putting it all on one goalie. Maybe. Cause we haven't won a playoff series since other than that shit show against the Flyers that could have turned into 2012 very easily.

But whatever. Fleurymanbad.

Again, Keith literally asked for a trade.

Report: Duncan Keith Initiated the Trade Request

They solely traded Keith because he asked for a trade.

Chicago needed to dump contracts on some of these older guys. He might have asked them for a trade, but the primary motivator for the team was cap space.

You're literally wrong. The entire reason they moved him was because he asked for a trade to be closer to his family in Western Canada.

and again, Chicago needed cap space just like we do. Keith is on a declining contract & the cap will be flat for a few seasons.

9.5 for Ovy.

 

[TooManyHumans]

9.5 for Ovy.

At least we don't have to worry about them being competitive.

 

[Empoleon8771]

At least Fletcher isn't the Penguins GM.

 

[66-30-33]

At least we don't have to worry about them being competitive.

Guessing Malkin wont budge from his 9.5 3 year deal.

 

[Turin]

Give me Yandle-Ristolainen all day

 

[Allie Kitsune]

At least Fletcher isn't the Penguins GM.

Geez. I remember how Vaunted and Highly Touted the Flyers D Pipeline was supposed to be, and where are they now?

 

[Gurglesons]

At least Fletcher isn't the Penguins GM.

Yandle is a bizarre add.

 

[PensandCaps]

At least Fletcher isn't the Penguins GM.

what the hell is the point of Yandle and Risto.

Only 1 can QB the PP. Both are awful outside the PP.

 

[Gurglesons]

Geez. I remember how Vaunted and Highly Touted the Flyers D Pipeline was supposed to be, and where are they now?

Weird how that works. Anyways. They have York who is going to be an absolute stud and then Sanheim and Provorov to show for it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

what the hell is the point of Yandle and Risto.

Only 1 can QB the PP. Both are awful outside the PP.

What makes it even funnier is that the Flyers traded a 2nd to get out of Gostisbehere's deal, only to sign a worse version of Gostisbehere in free agency.

 

[PensandCaps]

Crosby might put up 20+ points vs Philly this year.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Geez. I remember how Vaunted and Highly Touted the Flyers D Pipeline was supposed to be, and where are they now?

I remember us having a huge stable of young defensemen too.

Look at who their GM is lol.

Thanks for Friedman!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

What are the Flyers even attempting to do? It's like they're just signing or trading for any player who is available whether they're a need, a fit, or an upgrade or not.

 

[PensandCaps]

What makes it even funnier is that the Flyers traded a 2nd to get out of Gostisbehere's deal, only to sign a worse version of Gostisbehere in free agency.

Traded for a worse version too.

Also they have Ryan Ellis lol, Neither Risto or Yandle are the best QBs on the team lol. This is hilarious.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Guessing Malkin wont budge from his 9.5 3 year deal.

And that's fine by me.

You give Geno that contract for the same reason you give it to Ovechkin.

 

[dogthateats]

 

[xlm34]

Give me Yandle-Ristolainen all day

Bringing in multiple defenseman who can’t defend is definitely an interesting way to help out your struggling young goalie.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tbh. It’s pretty cool we get five more years of Ovi. Hopefully Malkin and Sid make it that long too.

 

[PensandCaps]

And that's fine by me.

You give Geno that contract for the same reason you give it to Ovechkin.

Doubt Malkin with his injuries has that leverage.

And, I think Malkin wants to win one more cup. I'd say his deal will be in the 7 milliom range.

 

[TimmyD]

What makes it even funnier is that the Flyers traded a 2nd to get out of Gostisbehere's deal, only to sign a worse version of Gostisbehere in free agency.

Yeah but they probably aren't paying that worse version nearly as much as Ghost...so jokes on ....you?

 

[66-30-33]

And that's fine by me.

You give Geno that contract for the same reason you give it to Ovechkin.

What if Barkov is set to be a UFA?

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Geez. I remember how Vaunted and Highly Touted the Flyers D Pipeline was supposed to be, and where are they now?

My Flyers buddies kept telling me how they'd have the best D in the league in a couple of years "Ghost, Prov, Morin"

God I hope Flyers sign JJ to a 3 year 5M deal.
