GDT: Free agency madness, brought to you by the letter G - PART 2

[SpezDispenser]

I'm so curious as to what the offer is from Ottawa and what Arizona countered with.

I'd seriously love to know. I've always assumed the hold up was Greig or Pinto, but who the heck knows.

I'm thinking it was something like 2 1sts+Greig in order to dump Zaitsev+get Chychrun.

Then we shouldn't even bother. That's outlandish.

 

[SensFan1010]

Ott has a lot more cards then arizona right now by the looks of it. Chychrun clearly doesnt want to be there anymore and could be exaggerating and injury to be held out

 

[Senscore]

The longer it drags on, the worse the value will be for Arizona. At some point Armstrong is just going to have to accept that he won't get everything he wants.

 

[DrEasy]

The last time we traded for a disgruntled player from Arizona things worked out well for us!

 

[OD99]

All I said was dude had to give up a ton in taxes and that sucks. You guys turned it into a down with the rich, f them for being rich. To me that is the definition of butt hurt.

Ya seemed like a bit of an overreaction to a pretty simple comment. PK isn't some super elite who has been making his fortune off the back of his under paid lackeys or getting ridiculous bonuses off Bay Street.

That said, I have no doubt he has good people finding ways for him to save loads in tax shelters, businesses, etc...

He should just say this: I wanted to be traded, here's my list of teams:
- Ottawa

I didn't know that about JC: He is also the nephew of Luke Richardson

and can you identify his sister?

 

[SensFactor]

Chychrun wants to come to Ottawa...it's only a matter of time...excellent...

 

[Silencio]

Would be a strange turn of events to have a guy force his way out of a tax haven golfing paradise to come here...

Someone check on Sweatred

What a weirdly designed sweater.

 

[guyzeur]

What a weirdly designed sweater.

But did you notice mom and daughter seem to have the same one
2 for 1 sale in Phoenix are very popular

 

[Ice-Tray]

So Chychrun left town finally?

Yeah talks of even more injuries plus the fact he wasn't skating with the local gang during the offseason doesn't make me want to pay up even my diluted package from a few posts back.

Make that offer now:
2023 OTT 1st, top 3 protected, conditional on games played e.g. Chychrun must play >60 games. If he plays less than 60 games, it gets pushed until 2024.
2024 OTT 2nd
Brannstrom
Guénette/Aspirot
Zaitsev



Even if Holden has a career year, I doubt he gets more than a 1 year contract as a 36 year old guy that was never more than a #4. Probably at 1.5M again.

Hamonic someone might have to overpay if there's a bidding war 2-3 years at 2M AAV I could see, again with a career year.

We're not talking about 30 year olds here. These guys have slown down a lot over the last few years. Gudbranson had the benefit of being freshly out of his 20s. Kinda like Hamonics last contract negotiation year.

That being said, even on a discount, I don't see the team or us wanting them back unless it's for 1 year or two years max, respectively.



Am I interpreting this correctly as the league currently has instructed them to sit tight until a verdict comes through?

The league is conducting their own investigation. Once that is complete they will weigh in, and that’s what Dorion is waiting on.

I doubt anyone is waiting on formal criminal charges at this point as that water is incredibly murky.

 

[Alex1234]

Critized him a lot for his non sense sometime but

Kudos to Dorion for not bending to ARI price for JC

Main board seem to think he is injured often

Over 6 years the guy has missed 117 games... the only season he played to it's entirety was the 2020-2021 56 game season.

 

[playasRus]

A little salty over Marino now.

OTT gives: Thomson + 2nd

Chabot - Marino
Sanderon - Zub
Holden - Brannstrom/Hamonic

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

The more this drags out with Chychrun the better for us. Turris situation all over again.

Only thing is, we get to see what we have in Hamonic. I still believe Hamonic eventually plays with Chabot and Zub solidifies with Sanderson.

I also believe sometime this season we are acquiring a top 4 RD. Bookmark it.

Haven't done this in awhile, so here is 2023-24 roster with salaries = $81.7 m.

If we added Chychrun salary ($4.6 m AAV) to this (see below) roster, our total cap would be $86.425 m (moved JBD to 7D).

Notes:
Pinto and Formenton/replacement @ $2.0 m which seems pretty conservative. Overall, the salary assumptions are pretty conservative, and might be a little light.

Does the $81.7m include Zaitsev? If so, when you add Chychrun are you also removing Zaitsev's $4.5m?

 

[UglyPuckling]

NO. Zaitsev has been removed from the roster. Every player has been named and his salary has been included in the post.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Chychrun is recovering from a surgery and there's no timeline for when he's back. Maybe hold off on offering a big package.
