Kings could have probably paid Deslauriers that amount -he got a shade under 2 million. They could have made up for that in bonuses.

Happy with Lemeiux though.

For 4 years?

This is his retirement contract. Those usually don't turn out too well. He's got a lot of mileage on him.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Det and Ott adding a bunch of forwards who will expect playing time to teams that haven't even made the playoffs with their young guys.

The cap hit isn't the problem with Deslauriers (although it's a little high), it's the ridiculous 4 years

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

There's a lot of term being thrown around today that'll sting.

Wait till Kadri signs!

The Ducks have almost $40mil in cap space.
Are they going for a big name or a bunch of B level guys?
Or take cap dumps and picks?

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I like the idea of looking for a trade 20 games in instead of shopping and overpaying now. You can pick up some sandpaper on an expiring contract for a 4th round pick and c level prospect during the season. He won’t be signed to 4 years.

Hmm.....what if the NHL introduced cap space based on games played?

 

[Herby]

Det and Ott adding a bunch of forwards who will expect playing time to teams that haven't even made the playoffs with their young guys.

They have their young players already proven as anything from very good players to borderline stars.

Ottawa starts the next stage of their rebuild this season with Stuetzle(20) as the 1C, Norris (23) as the 2C and Tkachuk (22) as the top wing all proven. These were there top 3 scorers last year. They also have Chabot on D and they are hopefully optimistic that Sanderson is a star too.

LA started the next stage of their rebuild with no young proven top 6 forwards and no player under 25 who would be considered even close to a star. Ottawa is hopeful that 1 prospect can be a difference maker next to the ones they already know are. LA is hopefully optimistic that 4-5 prospects become difference makers but they are all question marks.

Where is Tampa Bay getting all this money from?

That's a damn fine question...

I would buy a Kings Jagr jersey.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Crazy just how fast cap space is disappearing.

AA actually got 3 million? Chicago's GM needs to be so fired, 2 weeks ago....they would have DeBrincat, Dach and not have AA. You'd think with 3 million, AA can afford to get outpatient, brow reduction surgery, like Patrick Marleau did, a few years ago. He looked much better, after abiut a 40% brow reduction. Can't just shave that off.

No one should ever want to sign with Vegas.

Tell me you don't know what Chicago is doing without saying you don't know what Chicago is doing......

New GM going full on tear it down rebuild, but they STILL have to reach the cap floor.....enter....AA 3 M and Domi...3M for 1 or 2 years....not gonna hurt them in the slightest and has nothing to do with the rebuild.....

 

[kingsfan28]

Weird contract.

Flyers are probably the dumbest franchise in the NHL now.

I knew it was the Flyers when I saw it was 4 years @ 2mil, before the team was announced. TORTS: get me a fighter!

Yep, Ottawa will be good for awhile I think. They did a really good rebuild I feel. Let their young prospects develop and take hold of the team, then insulated them with more established players when they felt the core was ready.

Sounds even worse when you break it down like that.

[Sleeping Dog]

If true, I guess Gaudreau doesn’t want to win a Cup in his career.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Gaudreau to Columbus is the most random shit ever

 

[Steve Zissou]

Johnny Hockey signs in LUMBUS...?

Did not f***ing see that one coming.

 

[DoktorJeep]

With the flat cap, Covid payback and escrow, doesn’t surprise me to see guys like JG and Patches head to low to no tax states like Ohio and NC.

Philly & NJ fans RIP

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Losing your star player to Columbus has got to sting
