With today's free agency splash, Nashville now has the 9th least cap-space in the league (only $4.097mil open). Looks like NSH is a cap team

That cap number doesn't include Forsberg/Jones either, so there's that

I wonder if that number includes SK?

That's what im wondering if you go to capgeek they say the same thing but Kostitsyn and Gill are still there. I wonder if they didn't take them off. I don't think they are including those 2 buyouts

Yes, it does.

Finally spending money!

ya but not on who we need. if we have $4m (or $7M after Kostitsyn Gill buyout) we need to do something drastic to

SK is still there so they haven't taken that 3 million off. Gill is in the compliance buyout catagory so they have got him off. So that means we have got 7 million to sign Jones and Spaling.

Embarrassing
Really embarrassing

We have almost no money left to spend.. And what we did have to spend we spent on bottom 6 robots of the same kind of players we have always had


Dissappointing day today for fans. And to think Weber may only of played with a lethal Paul Kariya for 2 years and never another true threat at fwd.

I just threw this together on capgeek. I assumed Gill and SK are gone with 0 cap hit and I used Drouin's numbers for Jones's contract. Also just gave Spaling his qualifying offer and let Hellberg make the team

Jones likely won't meet any of his performance bonuses so his final number will be much lower. Very close to the cap.

just fyi tsn.ca is showing that we did use a compliance buyout on Hal Gill, but it is not showing one on Kostitsyn, which indicates to me that SK's contract has been terminated not bought out.

Correct. Cooper confirmed both last night.

so with SKs contract terminated do we have his cap hit or not?

Cooper:


Poile said Gill was a compliance buyout. Kostitsyn will not count against the cap and salary... in the words of The Hawk... he gone...

Looks to me like the Preds will have about 2 million in cap space left after signing Spaling and Jones. I would've laughed in the face of anyone that tried to tell me that would be the case yesterday.

Anyone that is hoping for any more signings better not hold their breath. Trade still possible though, I guess, but it seems to me that Poile and Trotz are happy with this line-up.

I think Spalings rights get traded. he is superfluous now.

I also know that Jones' cap hit wont kick in until he signs his ELC, so if Poile does add someone with a higher price tag, he can figure out where to get the money before he signs jones

but I think you are right, we will have no more FA signings... a trade, maybe, but no more UFAs

 

[token grinder]

you can also go over the cap 10% right now. So there si time f e go over the cap to make a move or two to get under.

There is also the bonus cushion that we will be able to use. Jones might have a cap hit of $3+ mil due to his bonuses, but when the final number is calculated, only the bonuses earned actually count against us.

I think we are largely done. I do believe they will make a trade at some point this summer, but believe we are done on the free agent market in terms of acquiring pieces to start the season in Nashville. The only piece I could see them signing would be a veteran defenseman to compete in camp, but I really don't see them doing that either.

They went after the guys they wanted and got the majority of them yesterday on the first day. No sitting on their hands. No waiting to see what became available. They attacked free agency yesterday.

A part of me is really excited that the Preds are in a position to execute a compliance buy out - makes the summer of 2007 feel a lot farther away.

I posted this in another thread, but I belongs in here, too.

Right now we have $7,097,024. Add Forsberg to the roster, and we have $5,636,191. Assuming Jones signs a deal comparable to deals signed by players picked in similar areas of the draft over the past few years we are looking at a minimum of another $3m, so $2,636,191. If we get Spaling back on his QO then that's another $1.1m.

We could be looking at only $1,536,191 in cap space in reality.

As Seth said above, Jones could easily have a cap hit of $3m, but only bonuses earned will count against us.

Lots of easy salary to move IMO. Smith, spaling, and pick a defenseman.
