Confirmed Buy-Out [CAR] Patrick Marleau

patrick 'melo' marleau

Sorry - I don't follow his every statement. Any team that pays him 4 mil deserves what it gets.

You don't follow much about him apparently. 4 mil is what he's making just from the buyout/bonus.

 

[Huck Cheever]

Don't think Marleau wanted to act like a child with the Hurricanes celebrations... not that they'd have many of those this season.

Marleau goes back to SJ IMO.

 

[Lempo]

Don't think Marleau wanted to act like a child with the Hurricanes celebrations... not that they'd have many of those this season what with them refusing to spend even on their top scorer.

You forgot this bit.

 

[Mikenusca]

The good thing is you get to sit here and feel morally superior over contradictions between strangers on the internet, truly a big day in beauchamp history.

He’s not wrong though. I remember when the leafs traded for Dion, then couldn’t wait to ship him out of town, same goes for Kessel and other star players. Can’t wait in a few years when Matthews and Tavares become the scapegoats

 

[JackFr]

Damn imagine in 2009 Marleau, Perry, and Phaneuf being bought out.

 

[Ivan13]

You forgot this bit.

And to add that hockey doesn't belong in the South.

Marleau has said for weeks that he’s moving his family back to California. It only takes a few seconds to research that. This has nothing to do with Carolina as a team. They were just the team that could facilitate the buy-out so he could head back. Everybody knows this.

Oh, re: your jab at Carolina. This past season.

Canes: 99 points and no cap hell
VGN: 93 points and cap hell

That is exactly true. Marleau wanted California or Toronto.

 

[WesMcCauley]

yep, 35+ contract doesn't have any cap relief

It affects only the salary that the player will receive

yep, and as you said it only affects Marleau's salary since he is owed 3m of the 4,25m in signing bonus. So he gets around 3,833m of the 4,25m he would have gotten if he wasnt bought out.

 

[Torontoborn]

If that first rd pick turns out. And the Canes can be picking as high as #11 in 2020. Or if the pick reverts to 2021 when it is unprotected as high as #1. The Canes really could go over on this deal even more.

Now back to reality! Lots of "if's". The pick will be used next year and will be somewhere between 20-32.

 

[inthewings]

He has already waived. We know this because he was traded. But he has apparently told them he will not play there.

Yes, and he wouldn’t have waived if he hadn’t been assured by Carolina that they’d buy him out if that’s what he wanted.

 

[Ciao]

Not really. If they miss on this pick, but hit with their other first round pick, it's still worth it.

Yes, with more picks you can swing for the fences. A nice deal for Carolina however you look at it.

It's the kind of thing the Leafs would have done if they had cap space; and if they had HFBoards would scream bloody murder.

I'm happy for the Leafs and the Canes -- they both win here.

Now there you go talking about reality. Reality doesn't fit the narrative.

The narrative is that Leafs management completely screwed this and every other decision they have made or will make because the possibility exists that this pick could be the 2021 #1 overall.

Reality has nothing to do with it.

Why are you so looking forward to this?

Do you have an axe to grind?

 

[Hostile Offer]

What a waste of asset and time for Carolina

That goddamn 6th rounder is going to haunt them forever.

 

[Yatzhee]

That goddamn 6th rounder is going to haunt them forever.

Finally, someone got the sarcasm. Thank you.

I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning. This pick will be 20 and up next year! That's the price you have to pay for a Lou screw up.

Lol. What a sad, bitter post.

 

[Kranix]

I'm surprised Dundon allowed this

 

[Sleepy]

Would an earlier bonus date been possible under the current CBA?

Any of you CBA-experts know the answer to this on buyout/roster bonuses/timing?

No CBA expert, but the answer is yes, apparently.

"Morally superior " ?

In your Bizarro world, maybe...

Mind you, if it was a compliment, I have to thank you, I guess, while knowing that you are wrong.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Or its my opinion

Another piece of evidence that not every opinion are equally worthwhile.
