Tidbits: Around the League: NHL News - Part 3

I've been in bed for nearly a month with a shattered ankle....I'm becoming a lot of things.

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you need anything?

Cap recapture is only applicable on contracts greater than 8 years. Contracts that literally can't be signed post 2012.

Got it. I can't remember all the changes anymore with contracts.

Sleep. And the ability to turn back time to 4 weeks ago and make smarter decisions.

I wish we all could have that ability.

Also Necas maybe headed to SJ. Damn


Edit: Nope Necas is staying. Carolina got a good deal.

Feels like a slow start to FA this year.

Domi for $3m x 1 to CHI. He'll be gone at the TDL for a 2nd/3rd.

 

[MuckOG]

Wow

 

[DigitalBoldy]

All the 8 year deals belong to Tampa

 

[Wabit]

Wow

Cirelli with a $6.25 x 8 deal too. Both start in the 23-24 season. TB kept it's core.

 

[Wabit]

Bjugstad with a $750k 2-way contract to AZ. Stalock $750k 1-way to CHI.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

$4.5M in cap space with 13 players signed for 2023-24 season. Maybe $11M with Seabrook's bogus contract. So ~$1M per player the rest of the way.

 

[NHL1674]

Could the Hawks make it any more obvious?

That's not too bad with the LTIR cushion. They are a quality team in a no tax state, so they'll be able to pull in the low cost vets chasing a Cup for cheap as FA.

I like what CHI is doing. They just isn't any way they can be good next year, so be terrible instead. Load up on 1 year deals (maybe overpay the players a little) and sell them all at the TDL.

Kemps finally gets a contract with term. $5.25m x 5 to WSH.

Wish the Wild would have done this 5 years ago. Can’t really do it anymore unless we would move Kaprizov, which would be a tough pill to swallow.

You wanted the Wild to sell off everything but Koivu (Toews) and Suter (Kane) in the middle of two 100+ point seasons? Minnesota folk are strange.

it feels like a Chel dynasty rebuild. Sell everyone and load up on 1 year deals to sell during the season. As long as they don't build a culture of losing it may pay off in the long run. Chicago is one of the few teams that seemed to have a successful rebuild the last time they did one. Maybe they are due for a disaster though one can hope.

Would be better off right now if we did. Everyone knew we weren’t good enough to win it all. Imagine having capable centers to play along Kaprizov.

Not a realistic expectation. No owner or GM would ever sell the farm when they are a 100+ team. Its never happened before and it will never happen in the future.

MN would have ended up with Nolen Patrick, Cody Glass, or Mitts...

 

[Spurgeon]

Some of these contracts look awful

really makes you wonder if the GMs think the cap ceiling is going to rise up in a few years. I think someone on these boards said something about a 90 mil ceiling in a few seasons.

 

[Wabit]

SEA signing Burka is a surprise to me.

We could trade Kaprizov right now and be better off in 5 years too! Should we do that? We certainly are limited in putting together a competitive roster for the next three years.

 

[HotDish]

going to Philly, AAV is fine but 4 years seems a bit too long for a player like DLO at his age and style of play imo.
