Proposal: Bo Horvat (pre-signed at around 8 mil) for Girard + Newhook + 1st + conditional 3rd

I'm not sure how you continue to not make any sense.

Three situations:

1. Teams that will trade for Bo purely as a rental.
2 Teams that will trade for an extended Bo.
3. Teams that will trade for Bo as a rental or extended.

You just take the best offer out of the 3 buckets. It doesn't matter which.

If you don't let other teams negotiate with Bo, then you're limiting yourself to one bucket of teams.

The buckets aren't independent, and they aren't known a priori. Letting Bo negotiate with teams effectively gives him an NTC. You don't want to do it.

That's why the third bucket...is not independent.

The buckets are known if management does their jobs and phones the other teams' GMs. There is not an "effective" NTC. They can trade him somewhere he won't re-sign if they choose.

They can trade him somewhere he won't re-sign if they choose.

The point is that *team* may choose not to trade for him, knowing he won't re-sign.

It's because Stone only signed a 1 year deal with Ottawa the summer before, to avoid arbitration. So they had to wait until a certain date before he was allowed to sign his next contract.

That date is January 1st to sign a 7 year or less extension or to be on the team's roster before the trade deadline to sign an 8 year deal, like Stone was when he was traded. There must've been another reason for the delay, Vegas' fans should know.

You both are kind of correct if I remember correctly.
March 1st was the day the cap"tagging" for the next year went up.
I think Vegas only had around 6 or 7 million available prior to the March 1st increase.

I haven't really looked into that part of the CBA much, but I remember it was something I'd never paid attention to before

This makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, I knew it must’ve been something unusual.
