Will Timothy Jimothy Oshie be drafted by the Kraken?

[SoupNazi]

why

Because there's this thing called a "cap floor."

I remember years ago this whole Timothy Jimothy thing was floating around but it's wrong.

Tim Jr. if I'm not mistaken.

Salary cap requirements. The team has to take enough salary to be over the cap floor. So they can't just take cheap contracts.

Ah yes, I forgot about the old rule about how you have to have a minimum salary on guys who are gonna be 38. Simply spend the money on good players who fit in with your timeline

Because good players on good contracts are going to be exposed, right?

 

[innitfam]

Seattle probably takes him if he's available. Who are the other likely exposed players from Washington?

He has a NTC so I think he is protected.

 

[Weztex]

Isn't one of Samsonov or Vanecek likely to be exposed? Unless there's some kind of agreement on the table I'd tend towards drafting one of them if I'm Seattle.

It's actually not, but okay.

Timothy Jimothy Lief Oshie, or for short TJ Oshie

Hmm...interesting. According to Timothy Leif Oshie, it doesn't stand for anything. Here's your source: Ask a Player: T.J. Oshie. If you scroll down to question 10, he says this:

My first name is Timothy and my mom, when I was really young, watched the movie “The Champ” and the little boy in the movie’s name is T.J. She liked it and figured it would work out. The “J” actually (doesn’t stand for anything). Just something my mom gave me.

But I'm sure you know better than the man himself.

It all seems pretty fishy to me. I believe some teammates call him Tim Jim

Cool. You can choose to not believe Timothy Leif Oshie if you care not to; it really doesn't affect my life one way or the other. I'm simply trying to ensure that you have the correct information at hand should you choose to want it.

Yes I believe you, it just seems very mysterious

I feel like Yamamoto will be the local kid they get.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

They are not taking a player just because he's local. Stop it.

Vegas didn't get that the dude on Wild who's from Vegas. I forgot who that was.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Holy f*** is that what his initials stand for ?

And oshie isn't being exposed.... So the whole thread is a moot point

No. It isn't.

It's somewhat unclear based on Google

He has a NTC so I think he is protected.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding was that only NMCs must be protected unless the player waives and NTCs do not need to be protected because it only protects them from a trade. I could be wrong.

yes you have that right.

 

[SpezDispenser]

It is! It's a badass name as well.

Lol, how is Timothy Jimothy Oshie a badass name?

 

[SoupNazi]

Lol, how is Timothy Jimothy Oshie a badass name?

It's not even a real name.

 

[summer tooth]

The Jimothy part just sounds nice and it rhymes as well

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Man, I cannot believe his middle name is Jimothy and no I will not read this thread or be disabused regarding this matter.

Its not Jimothy. That was nothing more than a running joke.
