Around the NHL - Part XLIII (Off-Season Edition)

The logo looks like it was designed on MS paint.

It reminds me of a (slightly modified) Chevrolet logo:

this was a cap dump

What a garbage league with their horseshit cap that causes trades like this to happen.

Eh in the NFL they just cut players. Even really good ones, just because of the salary cap.

I think that’s worse than these trades.

I mean sure Lafferty and Mikheyev are decent players but really just depth guys

I don’t think it’s worse in a vacuum, but it would be much worse for NHL players. Cole Kmet has the same cap hit as McDavid. A random, middling TE costs the same as potentially the greatest hockey player of all time.

Getting cut after banking tens of millions of dollars is a lot different than getting cut after banking several hundred K.

I blame Mike Sullivan. I also feel an angry avatar fits these boards better than a mild/happy one.

$3.25M AAV
Them some Goodrow numbers. Glad we don't have to worry about this. Someone was posting they'd sign him for $4M which I did not understand.

loving this trade for BUF. Hope the Rangers can pull a New York Knicks and get six 2nds through multiple trade-downs for the #30OA

Speculation the Detroit Red Wings adding cap space for a run at Steven Stamkos (obviously they connection through Steve Yzerman in Tampa Bay), maybe Jake Guentzel, but not Jacob Trouba. I'd rather Stamkos with the NYR than Patrick Kane.

it's all about the contract details for these 2

I might take Kane at league mininum. Stamkos would cost way more; I doubt he leaves Tampa Bay anyway. Detroit/Yzerman would be the only team outside of the lightning he'd likely sign with, barring a stupid overpay by someone else.

Would your plans be any different had you known?

Imagine voting for Charlie f***ing Lindgren for the Hart Trophy and then doubling down. This is why we can’t have nice things.

"Capitals beat reporter" was all I needed to see there.
