Yep, a cap credit since it's an under 26 buyout at 1/3.

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

What’s the deal with him? I remember him being good in London, is his game not translating or is it more so a matter of too many D in CBJ ?

He can’t stay healthy.

One time this season he was hit with a puck in the face while on the bench. Other than that he was ouchy every 10 or so games. When he was in he was good but couldn’t stay healthy.

Calvin dehann number 2

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks should claim him

We have a 3rd pairing RD spot open

If he sucks we can move on

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Would love to take a flyer on him as a 6th D with a D first partner.

 

[McDoused]

I'd take him on the Oilers on the bottom pair.

Ouf, wanted to trade for him last year for #32 + Mesar but was told value was the same as Romanov (#13 OA +).

Well, I guess it is not the case anymore. Things change in a year!

Hopefully he can rebound and stay healthy.

 

[ViD]

A bit surprised we couldn’t get anything for him

 

[MNRube]

Minnesota could use him as a PP specialist and Buium placeholder. Put him with Brodin and let him do his thing

 

[Zonk]

Capfriendly shows his contract has having been bought out already.

Cap penalty of $66,666 this coming season and cap credit of $533,334 the next year.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Leafs seem to be moving on from Liljegren and need an offensive 3rd pair RHD, could be fit

 

[Patty Ice]

Sharks desperately need RD and have been giving these reclamation guys chances (Zadina, Studnicka, Addison). Hasn't worked out yet but one more couldn't hurt

You have this reversed. It is a $66K cap credit for 24/25 and a cap penalty of $533 in 25/26.

His buyout money is under $1.1 mill but the Jackets $600K more in cap charges based on salary paid, so they get that back, thus which drops his Total dead cap to under $500K.

Cap charge wa $2.6 mil and cash of $3.2 mill. Retention would have him at $1.3 mill and $1.6 mill in real money.

Figure all clubs try to see if they can move a player, ala Win with Schmidt and Atkinson in Phi as well. But, they opted to go the buyout route. Some make perfect sense.

Bust

Why claim him when you can sign him for way cheaper after?

You are correct. My bad. Thanks for catching it.

wow. I guess injuries just caught up to the guy.

I can see a few teams thinking about signing him and raising him from being a really cheap add

 

[absolute garbage]

I could see SJ claiming him. Right shot, good on the PP. Better than Addison at least.

 

[le_sean]

I wonder if Tampa is a fit here. There’s a spot on the PP with Sergachev gone and they need a cheap depth option on defence.

 

[iam76]

Florida?

He was always kind of an odd player. Good at finding seams and a nice shot but that was always going to be a tough sell at the NHL level. Never should have gone that high, especially with his history of concussions.

 

[CanadienShark]

Interesting. I hope the Sharks inquire. We could use a RHD and I liked him as a prospect.
