Confirmed Signing with Link: [SEA] Philip Grubauer signs with the Kraken (6 years, $5.9M AAV)

[ricky0034]

How do you manage to mess something so simple up

reminds me of that O'Reilly offer sheet where he would have had to go on waivers if the Avs hadn't matched it

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

That's awkward. Seattle is really stumbling their way through this entire process.

But NHL media people keep telling me that Seattle have very smart people in their analytics department?

Typo error maybe? If it goes $6.8 mil in 23-24 and then $7.5 mil in 24-25, it’s a legal backloaded contract.

 

[vanarchy]

Ron Francis is not off to a good start.

 

[gstommylee]

its a minor thing. It'll get fixed so lets drop the idea that the goalie is just gonna say See ya and sign somewhere else.

 

[Gurglesons]

God this team is a mess.

 

[Metroid]

New team trying to pull a fast one already?!

nah, the $1.5m increase between 22/23 and 23/24(when it goes from 6m to 7.5m) is more than 25% of the salary of the first year of the contract(5m)

it's a limit on how fast the salary in contracts can escalate based on what the first year salary is

edit: oh you meant typo by the Hurricanes thought you meant a typo in the CapFriendly explanation

not sure if making a typo on a $35 million contract and not catching it is better or worse than it being a different sort of mistake, that would be pretty rough too

July 1st, July 28th in this case, is a chaotic day. Both sides are in rush to get the contract done and move on to other business. A small error like that slipping through cracks is not great, but understandable.

If it's not knowing the rules, that's truly befuddling. That explanation implies that the agents missed something major like that too. The variability rules have been around for a while.

Hahahahaha Francis truly sucks.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Let's summarize it:


Horrible/bad name
Ugly ass logo
Awful ED
Bad draft (picked someone 34th overall that was ranked 192th overall, and he was an overager)

And now this.


Could they have had a worse start than this?

 

[supsens]

Quick reminder that Seattle lost out on a pair of 2nd round picks by taking Vanecek instead of Dillon from Washington. If they're not even going to ice Vanecek, score another one for Ron Francis and his disastrous expansion.

Well unless they have a time machine they could not assume they would be signing Grub. They were able to select a decent D core and with the frozen cap expecting to trade whoever you want is a foolish move.

Between that lame ass expansion draft show and now this, Seattle is off to a bad start in the NHL

Should have been named Seattle Soyboys

By far one of the best practical names.
Logo is above average comparatively
Awful ED
Below Average Draft
