This is exactly what CGY did with ROR when they signed him to an OS...
And had Colorado not matched, that OS would have gone down as one of the stupidest moves of all time. That isn't news.

It's dumb because not only are you overpaying( by more than a mil I'm sure), but you aren't even buying up UFA years to offset that.
The OS compensation is calculated based off of the annual average of the contract, or the amount of the contract divided by 5 assuming the years offered is greater than 5. In that case, the average would be 9.3/year which should be greater compensation than two 1sts ++
It amazes me how often this needs to be said.
Why is the 7X5 dumb? It's about a 1M over pay... not that big of a deal... For the Kings for example that would result in swapping King for Mersch to make up that difference. Some fans have been pushing for this anyways. Also if a team has about a 5 year window they're taking a shot at the cup at it could work just fine.
6X6 is probably around where the Ducks are trying to get, but they would have 1 week to move everything in time to get it done. Rushing trades hurts value.
Yeah, but you are buying Lindholm, who currently is Ducks' property. There has tone some value in that?
Boston lost 2 d men already and their season hasn't even started yet they might have to step up with an offer for Fowler
Just to clear up any lingering misconceptions, we effectively have no internal cap this season because of the ****-hole BM's landed us in with everyone's contracts.
7x5 is dumb because it sets a salary precedent. Just look at what Ekblads deal is doing to Lindholm negotiations. GMs aren't generally in the business of making their own lives harder. That is a dangerous escalation. especially for a 30 point all around D. While I love Lindholm he isn't worth 7 mill by any stretch of the imagination and overpaying him is telling the market that is what he is worth. He would be making firmly top 10 money among D. He just isn't that. He couldn't even get into the top 6 for his national team. He is a good player with plenty of potential to be great. His advanced stats have made him into some sort of deity among D on these boards and I just don't think it is fully justified.

How much would Ducks fans be willing to add into a Stoner for Hunwick@50% swap.
That's
~2.65m in space freed up this year
3.25 next year
Hunwick is a non starter. Try offering a 7th instead.
A 600k vet 6-7 that could be sent to the minors is a non-starter? It's almost like there's no external pressure to move money and a #1 d isn't sitting at home.
Spooner+Boston's 2017 2nd round pick for Cam Fowler. Only way i see it happening.
We don't need any more D, period.
So? you need capspace. Your 1D and a top 6 forward are sitting out due to cap problems. If having to take on a near league min contract (below market value for the contribution) is the deal breaker on clearing 2.5+ million dollars your priorities are way out of wack.
OK, fine. Let's talk cap space. We aren't taking back any salary if we're paying a premium to dump Stoner.
