Worth it for the amnesty buyouts and the 7/8 year limit. Otherwise Letang would be trying to get a Parise/Suter/Weber deal.

And the restructuring of how front loaded contracts can be.

 

[KernelPanic]

Don't be mad because you can't spend to it.

Our team is better at the floor then when we are at the cap. I could almost get used to this.

I am sure we'll spend more when we have to.

Yeah. I was kidding anyways.

 

[KernelPanic]

yeah I know

And the lockout was worth it I guess, would be way worse if players had 57%. Ironic that one of the ringleaders from the owner's side is saying that.

SO MANY YOUNG HIGHSCHOOL BANDWAGON FANS AT THE PARADE TODAY.

 

[Fei]

I have no idea how Boston can re-sign Horton and Rask with $5.8M in cap room.

And BTW, if the cap isn't static next year, Letang's position makes a lot of sense.

 

[ActStriker]

Just saw a photo of the Blackhawks' ad in the Boston Globe. Pure class.

Well done.

wait, is that right? Hydoken is a UFA? holy shit.

If I were one of Philly, Isles, Phoenix or other team looking for a goalie, that would be my #1 target. Everytime I seen him play he looks amazing.

Also Dreger is saying that they are trying to trade Peverly.

 

[Holiday]

Rumor is that Army is shopping Perron.

Bummer. If they move him, please please let it be for a center of some sort, any sort.

I believe that's counting Savard's cap hit (which won't count since he's on IR forever)

Grabovski for Perron. Final offer.

Ah, you're right.That frees up another $4M.

Yeah, Khudobin is a UFA. Might not even come back because we can just use Svedberg as a backup.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'd be OK with a Mason/Khudobin combo. Let the best man win the starting job.

The cap is going to shoot up next season IMO

 

[yyzjohn]

Not when its a 500k difference in a $50M deal thats keeping you from signing with that team.

It's a million a year difference.

 

[Socreges]

It's a million a year difference.

lol, booing the Governor

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Letang's going to get the Staal treatment.

 

[Cake Boss]

It's a million a year difference.

The Penguins are willing go as high as $7 million annually — with some wiggle room — to keep Letang, the sources said. Letang is looking for $7.5 million annually, sources said.

The rumor is Letang's camp countered with $64M over 8 years or 8M/season.

Edit: Dreger said no buyout on Richards.

I thought the counter was 62.5 over 8.

 

[Cactus]

Edit: Dreger said no buyout on Richards.

He'll probably be bought out next summer unless he has an outstanding year.

More of the Devils financial situation.

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/columnists/pagnotta/dp130628.html

"The New Jersey Devils and the current ownership group headed by Jeff Vanderbeek have recently been experiencing serious cash flow issues. This has resulted in late or missed payments (including required pension and escrow payments) and League intervention and funding. Importantly, we believe that all money owed to Players, including pension and escrow, has now been paid.

“Recently, the Club was able to arrange a significant infusion of debt capital ($30 million) from an investor that is interested in purchasing the the Club from Vanderbeek. We understand from League officials that the new investor, Andrew Barraway, is currently negotiating with Vanderbeek and their expectation is that either Barroway or another ownership group will end up owning the team within the next 120 days or so.”

 

[MetatronM]

He'll probably be bought out next summer unless he has an outstanding year.

Even if he has an outstanding year, the Rangers can't take the risk on his contract, he has to be bought out next year (if possible).

Case in point, if Richards were to retire in 2017, his cap hit in 2019 would be SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS.


I don't think the Richards thing is really officially decided just yet, but I'm pretty sure the team is leaning towards keeping him.

 

[BigJonsson]

Should have not moved to Newark =/

Good thing I only ever open doors wide enough to slip through myself and leave before the cheque comes.

The Senators aren't close to deals with D Patrick Wiercioch and C Erik Condra. Two sides aren't speaking the same language. Talks continue.
