Player Discussion What is Djoos' fate?

[traparatus]

think its more like caps are only offering djoos his qualifying offer (715k) and he likely asking for 1 mil to get it around 850k-900k

That would be pretty awesome.

 

[hockeykicker]

That would be pretty awesome.

just feel like if the askings were at 1.5 mil it would have been reported but again maybe not since gmbm is pretty quietly usually

 

[Hivemind]

I don't see why Djoos and his agent wouldn't ask for as high as they possibly could. A $1.5M ask sounds about right, considering that Mirco Mueller just got $1.4M and Mackenzie Weegar just got $1.6M. Both of those contracts came after the filing deadline, but it gives an indication of what players of a similar resume are looking for. Scott Harrington got $1.63M AAV (3 year) last week and Mike Reilly got $1.5M AAV (2 year) back in June, in terms of other RFAs that Djoos' camp could have used as references in the hearing. Heck, Connor Clifton and his 19 games of NHL experience and 1 career point is worth $1M AAV now.

I would not be at all surprised with an award north of $1M.

Damn, and here I thought the arbitrator's decision on Djoos's contract is what caused HF to crash.

 

[twabby]

Also since the decision should be coming today and nothing else is going on in the Caps world, let's place our bets.

I'm going with 1 year, $975k.

 

[hb12xchamps]

1 year, $1.25 million

No justification as to why, more of me just getting a bet on the board

 

[Langway]

Harrington may be the closest comparable from that lot based on TOI but his deal only included one RFA season. Many of the slightly lower RFA D numbers compared to Harrington had bigger roles but my guess is a decent regular in that 13 minute range is still worth more than $1M. So some shuffling one way or another seems likely.

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

$1.1M is my guess

 

[searle]

1 year $975k

 

[RandyHolt]

He gets hammered in arb with not a leg to stand on.... I kid I kid

Predict 1 @ ate fiddy

I too thought Djoos brought down the mighty mandatory HF

 

[895]

1050k

See ya later Chandler.

 

[hockeykicker]

See ya later Chandler.

And djoos too. Cant afford either right now

 

[hockeykicker]

So what type of trade return we gonna get for djoos?

 

[twabby]

Pretty sure they could do something like send Copley down and have Vanacek as the backup and the cap would work.

But part of copley contract would still count against nhl cap even in ahl

 

[895]

I officially don't like the Hathaway signing.

7d is more important than 12th F.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Copley is the odd man out.


You don’t go to arbitration with a guy to trade him over 300k.

Only $25k of Copley's $1.1M cap hit would count against the cap if he were sent to Hershey. Vanacek's cap hit of $717k and the $25k dead cap hit from Copley would still save $358k against the cap, which would put them $34k under the cap.

As mentioned by others they could also swap Boyd for someone like Gersich and save another $100k.

Notably, I don't think Samsonov's $925k would fit under the cap so I imagine they will have to make a trade of some sort if they want him to get playing time and not have to rely on injuries or whatever to make him fit.

Only 25k

Dont agree. Hathaway is better then Stephenson and besides the caps have enough d prospects for one of them to be a #7

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I don’t think the plan would be to keep Copley at all. I mean to what end would that be? He doesn’t have a future here

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Don’t like it.
