If you like him enough to pay 3.2M (2.6M cap hit), you can probably get him for less via free agency.
I get what you're saying, but I doubt he gets claimed and I don't think the market on him will be hot enough. It will be like Zadina last year where it's more about fit and opportunity.
Leason would be an upgrade.Anaheim did not qualify Max Jones and Brett Leason. With Rob DiMaio being the former assistant GM for Anaheim I wonder if the Sens look at one or both of them in free agency.
One for one pinto for Laughton?Does Andlauer have a private jet?
It would be cool if they could get Laughton in town in time for the press conference. I know people will be bummed that it was 1 for 1, but at the end of the day if Pinto was going to sign an offer sheet we would have only gotten a 1st+3rd for him. A 1st+3rd is years away from helping us, Laughton can play fourth line minutes and man the PK, which with Kelly going unqualified, we sorely need. Prudent move.

Amazes me how teams and agents always figuring out how to get around CBA rules so quickly. Always somebody playing games not called hockey. All Toronto (fans and media) did was bitch about Vegas and yet they did the same thing with one of their D. Now they may well potentially be playing around with contract cap circumvention games.

There is an example of a Tanev contract using "fake years" that I posted earlier in the week before all this noise came out about the Lightning and Leafs using this strategy. It's interesting to hear that GMs have considered this before, since it's an obvious strategy to use.
The way that Tweet is worded makes it sound like the NHL knows that there is nothing they can reasonably do as long as teams aren't stupid, so they are asking nicely for teams not to do it. It sounds like an empty threat that basically says "if you're going to do it, don't make us look too stupid".
If the Leafs or Lightning offer the player a front office job, or are stupid enough to go on record about it, then yes the league might be able to interject - but with a contract like the above you can't really argue that there isn't risk for the team signing it. Tanev is not obligated to LTIRetire, so there is a chance he could still be chasing a cup 4 years in and decide he wants to keep going, even know he is not a 4M player.
A team could also reasonably argue that the cap is set to inflate dramatically. So by year 4 or 5, 3M-4M could be #6 D or bottom 6 forward type money since the cap could be 120M+ by then.
It's obviously circumvention in practice, but it doesn't become actual circumvention until there is proof of a previous agreement, direct or indirect (like a player taking a well compensated off ice job after retiring).
Thinking we get two ~2M RHD instead of Roy or someone like that, so we're not forced to pay to move Chychrun and Joseph backed into a corner. JBD can go on waivers.So Staios has to juggle the Pinto situation and the fact that he still has Chychrun/Joseph on the books tomorrow? The guy is getting eaten alive right now. I’m not expecting much tomorrow at all.
Eaten alive? Please elaborate - trading Chychrun or Jospeh doesn’t need to happen.So Staios has to juggle the Pinto situation and the fact that he still has Chychrun/Joseph on the books tomorrow? The guy is getting eaten alive right now. I’m not expecting much tomorrow at all.
Askarov for Pinto straight up?

We can send you Cody Glass to fill in at center.Sooo then we have a hole at center, on defense and everywhere on the bottom 6 lmao.
2 steps back one step forward.
Norris made of glass too. That would be next level crazy stuff from Staios.
Man are you drunk? Pinto for Laughton. Laughton is not as good as him right now is 30 and two years from UFA.Does Andlauer have a private jet?
It would be cool if they could get Laughton in town in time for the press conference. I know people will be bummed that it was 1 for 1, but at the end of the day if Pinto was going to sign an offer sheet we would have only gotten a 1st+3rd for him.

No kidding. That is an absolute crap load of wasted draft capital right there...
Why does everyone want to trade Joseph?I'd be so down if we sent Chychrun + Joseph to WSH for Jensen + McMichael. If we can also sign Roy on top of that, massive chef's kiss for Stevie.
Sanderson - Roy
Chabot - Zub
Kleven - Jensen
Let a man dream why dont'cha
On his podcast Seravalli says Stolarz is likely going to Toronto and that the deal could be as much as 4x4.
You know whats depressing missing the playoffs for 7 years. Wanting to get excitement from potentially over paying UFA's feel great when you sign Korpisalo for 5 seasons eh. Its like ya'll werent fans when Marshall Johnston ran this team or you have stockhold syndrome from Dorion. You guys seem to want uncalculated idiotic decisions being made.Being a Sens fan is depressing lol. July 1st is always so boring for us. And how do we have no cap room with such a bad roster. f***ing Dorion
Can you see the future?I mean the last 2 years the Sens have signed someone noteworthy after July 1st. Giroux 2 years ago and Tarasenko last year.
Not much this year though.
The season starts in October.I’m a little concerned for tomorrow
Without Jakob moved we don’t really have much $ to spend with Pinto needing a contract and all the holes in our bottom 6.
Probably because the sens have a real GM right now and nothing is getting leaked.Wonder what's up with Chychrun? A little surprised that we haven't heard a peep on this guy - not a single insider has even suggested that there are discussions happening.
They literally could not play him in the playoffs. He got 3 minutes of ice time. Why do you guys want these midget D men?low pims
Nils Lundqvist not receiving an offer from Dallas.
Wouldn’t mind him as a 3rd pair RD.
Thank god.So no Yamamoto then lol
8 million on Woll and Stolarz. I sure do.Well I really hope that doesn't happen
With Tanev and Stolarz their D has taken a big stepWell I really hope that doesn't happen
8 million on Woll and Stolarz. I sure do.
Id be much more concerned if its was Brossoit he is much better.For a team in their position there's more at stake certainly but I think Stolarz is the right guy to gamble on.
Eh I really don't want to trade Pinto. Would you do Fabbro with extension, Tomasino, and like the 2025 3rd for an extended Chychrun?We can send you Cody Glass to fill in at center.
