Anybody else tired of Vegas and the Florida teams signing players on the cheap because "a 9 million dollar contract there is like a 12 million dollar contract in a Canadian market"? The abundance of no-state-tax cups in recent years isn't just because of that advantage, but it sure does help. If Guentzel signs in Tampa for less than the Canucks would've offered it's just one more way the more passionate markets are being screwed over by an advantage given to places where hockey is a niche 4th or 5th place sport because they don't believe in providing health care or social services to their citizens.

Maybe it's time to stop giving U.S. teams a share of the 433 million per year Canadian Broadcast revenues the league gets--those 24 teams can share the 200 million while the 7 Canadian teams share get 40 million plus each year--then ditch the cap altogether and Florida teams can still sell their climate but not have the cap cheat code working for them any more.

Free Agency doesn’t open until 6AM PST tomorrow - but Florida loses the ability to offer an 8th year on a contract at 9PM PST tonight.

Tampa can’t offer Guentzel an 8th year as it wasn’t a sign and trade.

FYI - Free Agency opens noon EST / 9AM PST

 

[Lat]

Anyone know what Silovs’ qualifying offer amount is?

Per Puckpedia 814k...

Oh hey, CapFriendly still works and confirms it too.

 

[StickShift]

I know Tampa could very well announce he has signed any minute now—but you would’ve thought that Guentzel would’ve received Tampa’s offer right away and made a deal if it was a slam dunk.

I still think he is headed to market tomorrow. Perhaps there is something to the Vancouver rumors after all.

Perhaps he just wants to test the free agent market no matter what. Maybe Carolina knew that 100% certain and traded his rights to Tampa anyways—knowing that they wouldn’t be able to sign him either.

It does but that’s different from when the 8 year contract window closes.

Don't give me hope Stick.

I was referring to Mr C’s “Free Agency doesn’t open until 6AM PST tomorrow”

What’s the time for that 8 year? Maybe add that to your timeframe up above lol.

I brained my damage. Woopsie.

9pm tonight. Updated the first post.

Quite frankly, the last few months on here have been fun but exhausting. I would love for us to have a good week—and then be able to just relax for a couple months.

Red Wings paying to ship out Walman to bring in Trouba, P.Kane and whatever bumboclot they decide to do is the Yzerplan?

 

[dellzor]

I wonder if Reinhart's best friend is from Vancouver (coping) considering he missed the parade today for his wedding (as would anyone else)

could sam and jg get identical deals. for example 7x8

Don't think we have the cap space for that unless Garland gets dealt

GMs are like Abe Simpson:

Steve Yzerman used with be with ‘it’
But then they changed what ‘it’ was
Now what Steve Yzerman is with isn’t ‘it’ anymore
And what is ‘it’ is strange and scary to Steve Yzerman
And it’ll happen to Chris MacFarland, Kyle Dubas, and Julien BriseBois too!​

My god, this thread is insanely active, almost like a playoff game thread.

 

[Cancuks]

Some decent young players didn't get qualified or bought out that could be signed for cheap as depth.
Noah Gregor
Alex Nylander
Blake Lizotte
Jesper Boqvist
Adam Boqvist
Nils Lundkqvist

Someone post it

 

[Vector]

So Yzerman wants the draft changed because he thinks everyone is spying on him. Yet this is his master plan…

Yeah I'd give Adam Boqvist and Alex Nylander a cheap contract to try.

It will be tomorrow.

But the whole forum will go down anyway.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Unless he is dead set on 8 years, it is in Reinhart's best interest to wait until tomorrow. See what else teams are willing to offer.

Guentzel can't be offered 8 years by Tampa, so I think he'll ride the wave.

Is that first part for real?
