Getting more and more difficult to see Petro here unless a lot of salary is getting moved out.
edit- feel free to merge.
I agree that it's weird timing given the cap uncertainty, but for all we know the NHL might have a framework on how they will proceed regarding the cap.Odd timing given the fact that next year's cap is still undecided. Touch rich for me given the term, but not too bad.
Sure seems like Petro will be leaving. With flat cap not only provides less room for us to sign but also makes it harder to ship out guys to create cap space. Letting Scandella walk was one of few ways to easily create a good chunk of that.I agree that it's weird timing given the cap uncertainty, but for all we know the NHL might have a framework on how they will proceed regarding the cap.
It's really difficult to not read something into the Pietrangelo situation from this signing.
We've committed just over $77.6m in cap for 20 players next season. Pietrangelo, Dunn and MacEachern being the other three to sign.
The current situation might provide other ideas to be on the table for Pietrangelo as well.
Fair enoughThis is basically Bouwmeester's money going to someone else.

The easy answer is "Jake Allen is gone." Put Husso in there (whether you think it's the right move or not) and you save about $3.6 million. But Dunn still needs a contract as well. (I'll come back to this in a bit.)To @SIU LAW's comment: moving Gunnarsson and/or Bortuzzo only frees up a little over $3.1 million at most, and one of those spots will probably be filled by Mikkola at just under $800K.Getting more and more difficult to see Petro here unless a lot of salary is getting moved out.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with keeping him around. I just think it's a dumb move to be signing guys to contracts beyond this season right now, unless they're taking practically the league minimum.Odd timing given the fact that next year's cap is still undecided. Touch rich for me given the term, but not too bad.
Given what we can already infer about '20-21 and fans being in arenas to watch games all season long, it's unlikely the cap hangs around $84 million. If it does, the players are going to feel pain with escrow; if it goes higher, they're getting taken behind the woodshed and beaten with the ugliest stick.I agree that it's weird timing given the cap uncertainty, but for all we know the NHL might have a framework on how they will proceed regarding the cap.
It’d be hard to find anyone on here that doesn’t. That being said...if it comes out that he wants a ridiculous amount you’d see some change in the thoughtIs there a section of this board that doesn’t wanna pay Alex?
If the price is $8.5M or less, I absolutely want him back. If the price is $10M or more, I walk away. Anything in between $8.5M and $10M and I really need to know what next year's cap is going to look like and if I have to move out someone I don't want to move to fit him on my roster. None of this happens in a vacuum.It’d be hard to find anyone on here that doesn’t. That being said...if it comes out that he wants a ridiculous amount you’d see some change in the thought

Edit: to add to this, I think losing Petro would be a big blow, but depending on what we do with the extra cap space I still believe there is plenty of quality on this roster that we would still be a Cup contender and still likely the top team in the West.
We've already spent a good chunk of that extra space.If the price is $8.5M or less, I absolutely want him back. If the price is $10M or more, I walk away.
