I dont see how he gets more then 935k when he only made 650k but who knows how arbitration will work
"My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the road warrior, the [somewhat] man we called Djoos. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time, when the world was powered by the black fuel and the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel — gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all.
Without fuel they were nothing [HEY GATORADE IS PISSED]. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Cities exploded — a whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men [vegan eating men became a hot commodity].
On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive.
The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice, and in this maelstrom of decay ordinary men were battered and smashed — men [eternally too young to look mannish grown] like Djoos, the youngling Djoos. In the roar of an engine, he [almost] lost everything [his thigh] and became a shell of a youngling, a burnt-out desolate youngling [who misses Fortnite], a youngling haunted by the demons of his past [the darkness of a younglings soul who can never understand the savage but real internet wars of Blu-ray vs. HD DVD or Android vs. iOS], a youngling who wandered out into the wasteland [without instagram]. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again [SHL].

Related question: If Djoos goes through arbitration and gets more than 935K (say for the sake of argument 950K), what does MacLellan do?
A) Trade Djoos and call up Lewington (675K)
B) Send down Boyd (800K) and use someone like Gersich (700K) as the 13F
C) Send down Copley (1.1M) and make Vanacek (717K) or Samsonov (925K) the backup
D) Something else
Swapping Copley for Vanacek seems kind of intriguing to me, because the nearly 400K in savings leaves a lot more wiggle room than any of the other options. That's enough that they'd actually bank enough to make a small addition at the trade deadline, assuming they don't have anyone spend an extended period on LTIR.

The move(s) made to ensure cap compliance will be based, in part, on performance in training camp and the pre-season. The frustrating part will be if the team cannot select their preferred 22 players due to their proximity to the cap.

Doesnt copley contract still count against nhl cap even when he in ahl? Always forget how that works since he makes a certain amount

I like Djoos, but I like him less since maaco hasn’t been here ripping him
Very underrated post.
If he is still here in two seasons then he is expansion fodder I assume.

WOW! My mind is blown! How long has this been going on?
Who is currently holding the post of Captain on my Ignore List? Are you telling me that 2 racists, 5 Leaf fans and a guy who cannot formulate a thought in under a 1000 words are there without their fearless leader?! I don't like this one bit.

Post of the month was "ban me till season starts" or smth like this. I keep coming here to read nothing of substance (like an idiot).

I did notice a certain drummer who joined last month with some very opposite opinions
Most of this thread has anything to do with Djoos' future in DC. Discuss the topic or we'll lock the thread. As always, if a poster is violating forum rules use the proper reporting channels.

I'd really like to hold on to Djoos for at least this season. He's still only 24, he generates transition and offense, and he has legit Stanley Cup experience. He's in the age range where good defensemen blossom, and he's likely going to be very affordable this season.

I don't see an option for:
I don't really care what happens to Djoos.
Looking at his stats, I don't think he earned much of a raise last year and doesn't have much leverage in negotiations. I hope he doesn't get more than a 20-25% increase.
