I love it!
I mean, I don't think that's a smart contract, but I love that a divisional rival signed it.

I'll go ahead and say that I think Kuemper is a good goalie, an upgrade on what they had, and that by the time it's really, truly bad, they'll only care about breaking the record for Ovie anyway.

You really have to respect Don Waddell's work. They're never caught giving guys in their 30's 5+ years in deals that will probably look bad.
I think this is why some of us weren't as nervous when TDA, Nino, Tro were all going to walk. Donny always seems to have a plan.

Yeah I like the way we go about building the roster. We're consistently able to find guys who fit here and produce for acquisition costs that are less than what the guys are really worth. Sure some guys will have to be let go but we'll never be saddled with a horrible anchor contract. Gardiner's may be the worst we see and even his hasn't been all that bad frankly.
We are except when it's not part of the narative

Yep. If we can swing that, maybe throwing in a Suzuki and a pick or 2..... Its tempting

Per comments on The Point he is firm on wanting to go to a true contender.

Yeah but he's still an elite offensive RHD and PP QB, our biggest need, and that's a reasonable AAV for that type of player. The age is a bit of a risk but I don't think it'll turn out poorly.

Well njd isn't that. And the islanders are arguable. Us however
Curious about Marchment's AAV; haven't heard any real speculation other than here....which is worth what we pay for it.

How would a buyout work in say 1-2 years if he plummets in play?

But it's short term. 3 years is manageable. And I think decline is built into the price. Brett Burns without any decline is probably worth 6 or 7 or 8.

Good question and one I would think the Borg absolutely took into account. I'm not sure
Over 35 buyouts, I believe are essentially a waste. Some cap savings but not really worth it.

If he actually gets an NHL chance, good for him. If he just got some extra money to ultimately play in the AHL, good for him.

That's probably a good spot for him. One way deal when he's not been able to crack the lineup here is certainly something, though. For sure thought the Checkers legend would end up back in Charlotte
After 1 season:
23-24 --> $4 mil
24-25 --> $4 mil
25-26 --> $666k
26-27 --> $666k
After 2:
25-26 --> $4 mil
26-27 --> $666k
Amounts account for the retention.

The Coyotes would gladly take Burns and his cap it for a sweetener if he doesn’t work out I’m sure. The fact that he’ll be owed less cash than his cap hit should only work in favor of being able to move him if need be.
