2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[JojoTheWhale]

Since this seems to be misunderstood, you do not have to be under the cap with Ellis if he's starting the year on the IR.

If you get under the cap and then IR Ellis, you get his full cap hit in accruing LTIR dollars. If you don't get under, your accruing dollars are only the amount by which you exceeded the cap with the IRed player.

So if Ellis is indeed going on the IR and they can't get under while counting him, they would likely want to spend every dollar they can up toward the cap.

 

[VladDrag]

And you can put players on LTIR in the offseason.

What is the rule for the opening of the season? I thought every team needed to be compliant on day 1, and then they could move players to LTIR, or is that not correct?

Thanks for the clarification

Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) - High Level Overview | Puckpedia

To qualify for LTIR, a player must be expected to miss at least 10 NHL Games AND 24 days of the NHL season When a player is on LTIR, a team may exceed the salary cap. Despite the common misconception, LTIR does not remove a Cap Hit from a team’s overall Cap Hit, it just potentially allows the...

I don't think they do based on Tampa adding Seabrook last summer.

It’s complicated, but also simple.

i really don't want them to offload a 1st to create more capspace so they could sign JG but i'm also very surprised that they don't seem to be trending in that direction. i just naturally assumed Cuck would go full Pejorative Slur with this whole situation. if they end up setlling for Dylan Strome or some other budget top 6er, then i'll start to think that their real plan this offseason was to troll the fans.

 

[ponder719]

The team that couldn't get an answer was not NJ. I can say that.

Can't help but wonder if this is Ottawa. They fit the criteria of up and coming, and Gaudreau not replying could be indicative of him not wanting to remain in Canada (I suspect that's at least part of the issue causing him to want to come back East; if he lives in the US, travel becomes much easier in the offseason and during down time, which could matter to someone with a young family.)

 

[JRichard]

Only problem with that is Cuck really backs himself into a corner, so he'd probably end up trading away our '23 1st and Florida's '24st

Cmon. Dont stop there. Add Phi 1st 24 and Provorov to stand out a little.

Not yet, Cuck is still washing Clarke’s car and he has yet to finish cutting Dave Scott’s lawn

 

[Appleyard]

Like, what has he actually done apart from make the team older, more expensive, and worse?

 

[Cootsfanclub]

We also hemorrhaged draft picks, don't forget that.

Did Hart play in the NHL regular season before Fletch? I remember he was called up when Elliott broke after Hextall got fired, but don't remember him playing before then.

But HEXTALL

uglier, less fun, more scumbags, and pretending to give everyone boston accents

 

[sa cyred]

So I went on capfriendly for first time in... probably years. And I got insanely depressed looking at this team. It really is a horribly ran team. Makes me sad honestly.

 

[Appleyard]

But HEXTALL

JvR is literally the ONLY player in the entire franchise that Fletcher has not traded for, re-signed, claimed, drafted etc.

 

[landsbergfan]

No he played after Fletcher was hired. Finally had like 4 good AHL games in a row and they threw him right in. Made that wild save on Taylor Hall during the 5-on-3 not long after that

 

[Curufinwe]

JvR is literally the ONLY player in the entire franchise that Fletcher has not traded for, re-signed, claimed, drafted etc.

Soon it will be zero.

Just you wait. 4th liner signing at 3pm

Braun coming home.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is this the universal free agency thread for the day?

 

[Cody Webster]

Braun coming home.

To play 4th ling wing

 

[JRichard]

We also hemorrhaged draft picks, don't forget that.

We did?
Out: 2 seconds and a 5th
In: 1, 3, 4

looks pretty even to me.

Use your influence to get the overlords to make a new thread

probably a good reason to open a new thread for that purpose. I don't want to jump around here and the miscellaneous NHL thread.
