Maybe that's where all of Jim's time went, dry erasers and markers every time a team called someone up or sent someone down.

the website is (mostly) worthless. the capitals are buying the data

there's no central contract database for the nhl. you have to phone up the league and ask someone to pull the contract for you or ask your fellow gms or agents for contract info

Perhaps this is common knowledge but it’s a surprising revelation to me

While sad to see it go—the basis of that website shouldn’t be that difficult to recreate for an enterprising party.

The biggest issue would be having too many different parties trying to create the same site and flooding the marketplace.

I’m a bit surprised that the Capitals felt the need to purchase it. I thought for sure that each NHL team had their own internal resources to manage their salary caps and take into account different cap scenarios.

It'll probably end up saving them money to do a 1 time payout with an all in one interfaced system tracking it all, then to pay multiple ppl annual salaries to track it all.

No wonder he ran out of time at the TDL!

Jim furiously erasing names and trying to carefully scrawl new names in, concentrating with his tongue stuck out.

Hopefully Petey takes a quick trip to Switzerland this summer.

I heard the training in Bali is legit.

You beat me to it

 

[wetcoast]

Damnnit. Where else can I spend hours during the day working on hypothetical trades, FA signings and just avoiding work altogether?

Well this site seems to work for that eh?

This is amazing considering it's 2024 right?

But that data that they’ve collected—it’s all publicly available. Any other team or party could scrape that data from the website from now to July 5th and have all the same info as what Washington has.

I’m more curious about whether they hired the guy behind the website to keep on running it for them.

I wonder if the real value is in the data it collects from its users. Not so much from the fantasy roster builders like we have here, but rather from teams that use the free resource, players, agents, etc. There's probably a story to be told by diving into the visits of select individuals.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Trimmed out some posts.

Folks, it's the off-season and currently nothing is happening. A lot of people get bored, and if they want to converse in little micro-pockets here and there, it's fine. That's always been the general rule in the off-season. If you don't like a post or a thread, you're not obligated to comment on it or like it. Just carry on with your day.

 

[TruGr1t]

Some of the rumoured contracts for Joshua are getting a bit absurd, Sat said there were teams ready to offer him more than $4M AAV. Think he's probably gone.

 

[Hodgy]

... and the whiteout.

Dunno, but I get the feel he worked hard and constantly on that wall.

Welcome back! I recall you posting back here years ago with very pro Benning posts that generally incited rage. I believe that was you?

Yeah, I think at that price you've got to walk.

Guy's earned a payday, and I think he still has room to grow - but yeah.

If he does go somewhere else for a fair chunk of change, I kind of do hope he drops off a bit. He's had one decent season of being a good 3rd line player. 27 year old 3rd liners deserve their cut but not what the rumours are speculating.

I just cannot see a contending team with cap space taking a chance with a 4mil AAV term contract for a 3rd liner. It would have to be a team like Chicago, Utah or Nashville.

Only playoff team I could see going for him would be Nashville.

 

[Peen]

I probably would have done 3.5x5 or 6 pre-playoffs.

I maintain that but if a scout watched the game ones of each series, you can easily talk yourself into a higher figure than that.

And Joshua should ABSOLUTELY take the biggest deal he can get. Single, not settled.
Still in his 20s. Agent just needs to get him 25 million somehow.

I hope he takes every single penny, he’s not made that much in his career, you need to cash in eventually

Start up some good trade rumours @Mr. Canucklehead let’s get this party started

 

[Canucks LB]

IMO, priority 1 is shedding Mikheyev. Everything else becomes a lot more straight forward if we can manage to do that.

I think it’s pretty clear. They are going to buy him out if they don’t find a trade for him

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I’m leery of going too high and for too long a term on Joshua. A 28 year old who just broke out and who was in Tocchet’s doghouse to start the season.
He was a force for the Canucks this year but he could also be one of those guys who needs to be on a shorter contract and needs to be motivated every year. Tough call.

Ha, on the very rare occasion I do get a bit of inside information, I lock that stuff down.

He might go somewhere for term and the upside as well like Chicago. I could see Stevie Y giving him some term but that doesn't fix their defence or goaltending. Lol.
