Salary Cap: Salary Cap Thread - Waiting for Day Two Edition

[66-30-33]

Talking about Flower the three time cup winner is like talking about Kuhnhackl the two time cup winner. It's true but not the whole truth. Not that it's particularly relevant but that particular piece of tire pumping irks me enough to say it.

What is relevant is that he's probably not worth 7m considering our other needs. If Chicago fancy flipping him cheap with retention then sure, let's talk. Otherwise... *shrugs*

If he came back here


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

 

[edog37]

I agree that he was wise to go back to Murray when he did, but people seem to think they would have beat Washington if Fleury wasn’t in net. I’m not so sure of that

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

 

[Sideline]

That exists?

Jonathan Bernier seems pretty vanilla.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

You're just a clown who wants to re-write history about a player you illogically hate.

Fleury hasn't blown a series individually since 2012.

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

 

[edog37]

No, they dumped Duncan Keith because he asked for a trade.

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

 

[Empoleon8771]

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

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

 

[Turin]

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

 

[Gurglesons]

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

Yes. That moment shifted the series.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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

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.

 

[dogthateats]

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

 

[TooManyHumans]

I’m fine with taking him back if it is cheap and he has some retention. The issue is he isn’t really much of a solution to what has ailed this team in the playoffs.

Exactly how I feel about it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yes.

Okay that's an asininely stupid take but whatever.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

That exists?

I want to believe.

 

[pistolpete11]

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.

 

[edog37]

Chicago is not cap strapped. they have 10.5mil in LTIR money from Seabrook and Shaw for next season. And Seabrook gives them 6.8mil in LTIR money for two seasons after this one.

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

 

[Gurglesons]

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

 

[PensPlz]

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.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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

Again, Keith literally asked for a trade.

Report: Duncan Keith Initiated the Trade Request

They solely traded Keith because he asked for a trade.

 

[edog37]

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.

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.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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.

 

[edog37]

Again, Keith literally asked for a trade.

Report: Duncan Keith Initiated the Trade Request

They solely traded Keith because he asked for a trade.

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.
