One way, eh? Looks like he's going to be in the NHL full-time this season, at least on the taxi squad/bench.

So Tampa is at what 88.4 million now? They get more and more interesting

Brisebois and Co. clearly have a plan LMAO! I wouldn't worry about them.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Joseph is next... then it's time to make some trades...

I'm not worried but I am intrigued, it's got to be more than Kucherov on LTIR unless he's missing the whole year

It probably is just Kuch on LTIR. They've probably determined that he won't be ready until the playoffs, if that.

 

[Taytro]

Weird, I thought he did well in his last UFC fight, didn't think he'd need to change sports entirely.

I guess that gets them cap compliant but boy that's not the way you want to do that

Yeah, it's tough for them. Although he's impossible to replace, at least they have the depth to still have a good regular season.

 

[These Are The Days]

It's all coming together baby!

 

[Slyfox]

why not? It gets them cap compliant and when he's back for the playoffs they will get a huge boost

 

[DistantThunderRep]

People laughed when I said Joseph and Volkov would get league min.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Because there is never a time when you are in your cup prime as a team where you want to LTIR your best forward and one of the best players in the world.

They didnt have Stamkos last year and they were fine. Assuming Kucherov plays this year its better than the situation they were put in last year. This team is stacked and losing Kuch for the regular season is not the end of the world. It might even allow for guys to step up.

The fact you are comparing Stamkos importance to Kucherov's tells me enough. The short explanation, all our offense runs through Kucherov. ALL OF IT. If he isn't there, the whole team dynamic changes. The way we play offense changes. Our PP changes. Losing Kucherov turns us from winning the division, possibly, to maybe finishing 4th or 5th.

Under appreciated comment. Came here to say same thing. Well played sir

 

[Flukeshot]

This is Volkov saying I'm making the team. Willing to sign for 700k to help the cap situation.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Nah, this is Volkov saying I would rather have a $700K one way contract than have a two way of any other value.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration finishing 4th or 5th. We still run away with our division without kuch.

We were 8-3-5 against this division last year. We were .500, how is this the clear runaway? The only team that looks like they didn't improve is Dallas because they are going to be missing Seguin and Bishop.

If the divisons don't change, You are vastly under rating Toronto and Boston. Tampa bay with no kutch for a season isn't running away with anything. Especially if stamkos get injured. Top 3 yes, but guaranteed #1, no. Hedman is a beast, if he gets injured ouch. Don't count your eggs before you hatch them If there's a new alignment of divisions cause of covid, let's see the divisions first. Point being; running away in the division is not true.

As for salary cap. I want to look into the cba reading with kuch ltir. The team has 24-48 I believe to become cap compliant once the season begins (talking about 10%+ allowable). Ltir is retroactive. So if kutch is out a year, the team isn't cap compliant at the begging of the year. Or if a doctor signs off on ltor, is the time frame immediately written off the books. Like They need to accrue the time/$$. Never looked it up but I'd love to see the wording. If anyone has info on please let a bruv know

Divisions did change.

Can't blame him, he only gets 80k guaranteed I'm the UFC. He makes 10 times as much in the NHL.
