Hoffman and Armia are tradeable. Drouin may recover with MSL otherwise he has value next TDL with 50% retained. Price can be traded if he shows he's healthy, and Gallagher will probably rebound after a full offseason to train and rest, I don't think it's looking so bad.
If Price stays injured, we can spend his 10M so no worries there.
Chalk it up to some wishful thinking as perhaps with the new regime in place they might wow us with a dazzling display of some creative ingenuity. Was hopeful that in conjunction with moving out the,more or less redundant players,they might be able to start chipping away and shed some of the less desirable contracts.
I see,was under the impression that it's never a bad time to get rid of garbage if possible. So,you're implying I'm the only one that wants to get rid of some players? Pretty sure I've seen posts ripping apart JD and BG and others and the were certainly not all from me.
With the way Bergevin doled out his long term deals, he created a bunch of toxic assets. However, Hughes showed a lot of creativity and his reputation as a effective negotiator was on full display. Can’t wait to find out how he tackles his tougher trades where he’ll have to do more of the pitching in order to entice.
Noted. Good catch BTW,was wondering if/when someone saw the seeds. Merci pour la visite Mr few and far between.
Yes MB certainly really made a mess of things. Currently they have about what 20-30 m? just being a wasted. Can acquire some good players with that amount,ones that fit.
To all the Bergevin fans and apologists - "This what we have been telling y'all for years !!!! "
Especially considering Dubas is lambasted for tying up $35M in Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander. All in their prime(ish)
If they want him to meet the floor requirement and he doesn't play next year his salary doesn't count against the cap when the season starts ....
I don't know why you're taking this so personal, we all want to get rid of a few players, I agree with you. I just think that given the salary cap, these trade are easier made in the offseason.
It's a bad time to get rid of them because nobody wants them when their focus is on gearing up for the playoffs. There will be more interest in the summer and next years deadline (For the UFAs to be). Like we maybe could've trade Byron this TD but his contract would bring down whatever value we could get. However by waiting until next years TD, when he'll be a pending UFA and we retain 50% of his salary we could potentially get a really good return, possibly even Lehkonen like if Byron has a good year. So it's often better to wait.
I'm not. Typically when someone uses YOU in a sentence, it's directed to someone specific,as you did. As for the rest,I've already made it clear as an opinion that I had,that's it.
That's an opinion isn't it? nobody wanted them or the price was the part that was not able to be negotiated,who really knows
There is always a point in any organization where the disclosure of certain information becomes too critical to its interests. You can thus never have complete transparency.That's an opinion isn't it? nobody wanted them or the price was the part that was not able to be negotiated,who really knows
Even with this new regime and so called transparency,there will always be ''selective disclosure'' imo
