Around The League 2018-19 Offseason edition

[markog]

All I've read here this offseason is it's easy to create cap space when you need it. Clearly the Kings want to test that.

New CBA will come and teams will get probably 1 or 2 free out of jail cards.

 

[The 29th Pick]

So it begins...

Man... why cant we find players like that here, friggen Shero

Im not a fan of this "talking period" because it makes July 1st less fun lol

Okay that one's a straight cap hit deal. I wouldn't have minded that kind of trade but the Jets could only make that deal with one team.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I can't believe that Mason makes $4.1 mil per year.

Habs have to be buying him out, right?

If not they'd have like $15 million in goaltending.

 

[NJDevs26]

They also have Niemi as their backup who did fairly well with them last year, so yeah I'd imagine Mason would be a buyout for them.

 

[Billdo]

The Kings are way too slow to be competitive anymore.



LULZ. You really can't teach an old dog new tricks.

This must be really convincing Tavares to stay

He'll never sniff the NHL and it's a pat on the back for a guy who has been a good soldier and a veteran in Bridgeport. It's like when we had Pelly in Albany. Those guys play a big role too.

Where the F are the Sharks getting all this cap space

Where the F are the Sharks getting all this cap space

they don't have like anyone signed beyond this year lol

the only forwards they have under contract after this coming season are Evander Kane and Melker Karlsson

 

[RememberTheName]

 

[NJDevs26]

The Sharks supposedly have like $19 million of cap space even this year, with Hertl and Tierney as RFA's and only a couple more spots (Thornton, depth d-man) left to fill out a full roster.

Well that was true five minutes ago

 

[NJDevs26]

Doesn't sound like a guy that's a sure bet to stay, or he's waiting for something 'else' to happen. If he does stay good grief, this whole process was just seemingly unneeded drama.

All indications are that he stays with NYb

A good photo-op for Lou with a mile-wide grin at the presser

based on what, exactly?

there are no indications either way for any of this

...but of course you know this

 

[NJDevs26]

The Isles would still be the betting favorite based on contract but I don't get why if it was such a no-brainer that he's going right literally down to the wire.

 

[Devil X]

Only reason i say Islanders are the favorite is familiarity. If he really cant decide he will default to the Island. It was pretty cool of him to exclude all of the Metro teams i do respect him for that.

[Better Call Sal]

I don't envy being an Isles fan in that position. I remember when Zach ruined my 4th of July.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Daughty got paid

 

[Devils Dominion]

I was in AC the day before he left us, dumb Philly fans thought he would sign there.

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't envy being an Isles fan in that position. I remember when Zach ruined my 4th of July.

That's why I've been increasingly thinking he might walk...this is getting pretty reminiscent of the Zach 'decision', especially with the face of a franchise people assumed would stay till he left. Does JT have any boyhood friends he wants someone to sign first?

 

[Cheddabombs]

Ennis on waivers to be bought out

Guess taking on his contract to get Nino isn't on the table anymore lol
