News: Turris Buyout: Poile Considers Everything On The Table

[IranCondraAffair]

Also, this is a possible life lesson time for everyone out there thinking of burning some bridges on the way out the door.

Ottawa would be a great place for him right now fit wise and probably has the budget room for him. However Turris decided to call out ownership when he left. Now, Ottawa ownership is obviously bad, but Melnyk is also super petty and Turris will probably never put on a Sens Jersey again as a result.

Since Turris contract had no signing bonuses (and hes owed 24M left) he might miss out on 8M in a buyout instead of a trade.

Just something to think about

with how terrible the Centre UFA market is Turris would somehow be at the top of it. The other day I saw a list ranking the top UFA centres and Granlund who is a wing was number 1.

Uh, Granlund is above Hall now?

 

[GAGLine]

I think Nashville was just a bad fit, put him back in his 2C role and he'll produce like one.

Not like he was awful this year either. 41 Point pace.

We can just re-sign Strome for cheaper and less years.

 

[Mickey Marner]

DPs buy out didn’t carry a caphit though. Yashins did for 8 years, which is the longest buyout cap penalty I can find (Kovy was recapture)

Mike Richards' contract termination runs from 2015-16 to 2031-32.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I appreciate the research.
Old CBA rules cleared RD's cap right off the books?
He is still getting paid though no? Or did it end recently?

If he wasnt bought out, his contract would have one more year left... as it stands, he will be getting paid 1.5m for the next 9 seasons! His buyout was a compliance buyout, which is why it didnt count against the cap

No its fine to burn bridges with a scumbag like melynk

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Seems like a low cost to get rid of a liability like Turdis.

Yeah, he came here and was pretty good in his first regular season, his second season he broke his foot twice and played through broken ribs, this past season he was Laviolette's whipping boy but still managed to produce at .5o PPG by the end of the season.

His contract sucks but I think he could still hit 50 points in the right environment.

I doubt Poile will buy him out though, it just seems like something GMs say, like "If the right deal comes along we'll think about moving our 1st pick." I'm sure he's looking at all his options but I'd be surprised if it happens.

I'm saying if he's bought out, Rangers should sign him.

Also doesn't Strome want like 5+

Melnyk is a scumbag. That's one reason to dislike him. Do you have 7,999,999 more?

 

[Sun God Nika]

really want Ottawa to be in on this, but Julie Turris burned the bridge and respectfully so.

 

[Soundgarden]

Nashville is poisoned right now. Lots of guys with down years. About to lose Smith and Granlund for nothing.

It's also a pretty manageable cap hit. He can fit in a 3C role somewhere.

Granlund was garbage, maybe the worst Predator since the expansion days, he'll easily be replaced.

thats pretty much it. love that Turris told that clown off

 

[hmc1987]

What happened to him?

Signed an expensive deal in a system his style is completely incompatible.

Now his trade value is rock bottom because of bad play and a crazy expensive contract. Nonetheless $3M x 4 isn't bad at all for a should be better 3C that has 2C upside

 

[IranCondraAffair]

thats pretty much it. love that Turris told that clown off

...and what did his comments accomplish?

I'd love it too if it got Melnyk to sell the team or something. All it did was make Turris feel good for a couple minutes. Kids make decisions like that.

Hopefully this doesnt turn around and bite Turris, but you never know.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

8 years. Thats gotta be a recent record no?
Dipietros still takes the crown no?

Would have taken him for Matheson 10 days ago

Yashin's buyout was 8 years. NYI spent years hitting the cap floor because of those 2. Lol.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

David Poile strikes again

 

[HotDish]

depends, is Hall a centre?

If Turris is bought out, he will earn over $8M total over the next four years and be better off. I would be shocked if he can't average $3.5M per season for the next four years.

 

[Gh24]

Turris seems like a great person and to me looked like his old self for the latter part of the season. Unless we're going UFA shopping or trading for someone I'd rather see Turris back next season.

Tolvanen, Grimaldi, Tomasino, Sissons, Jarnkrok, Trenin...I mean without Turris we could see two of those guys on our second line (or even first line if you break JoFA) and that's intriguing and horrifying at the same time.

 

[Gurglesons]

Kind of odd they can't get someone to accept Turris by retaining 2 mil on his deal.

I guess that causes issues down the line if they need to move out other contracts.

Turris has a 6m cap hit. Would the Pens not take him at 50% retained like, instantly?

I would hope not given he's not successful in a bottom six role throughout his career, but I wouldn't put it past Rutherford.

Turris at 4 mil for JJ lololol

Not sure where Turris fits on here if he isn't getting 2C time and PP time. Which we don't have that for him, it'll be Brassard all over again.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Poile got bent in the Turris trade

Girard is great
