Speculation: Jets General Rumour, Trade, Free Agent and Waiver Speculation 15-16 Part XIII

[Gabe Kupari]

Also. Does Boston even have the cap space for this

 

[trebendan]

According to capfriendly.com, Bruins have more cap room than the Jets, with Krug being their only significant RFA. I'd be OK with the Jets taking the 4 1st round picks - that's a lot!

 

[ComplexChris]

Could this be a work of Trouba's agent trying to drive up the price?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I think it's bs but if it's not and compensation is 4 1st Rd picks from a declining Boston team. Yup. So long jacob

It actually could be Sweeney trying to pressure Chevy into a trade

 

[Gabe Kupari]

If I'm Chevy I just take the 4 1st Rd picks

 

[mondo3]

I'd hate to lose him, 4 first round picks is an overpayment so I'd have to take it.

So then it's open season on all future Jet RFA's first Ehlers then Connor Laine.....

It's not so cut and dry IMO

 

[CorgisPer60]

Yeah. Chevy can't be seen as a player factory for the league, the way the Jets 1.0 were. The big bullies of the league will look to try to take advantage of the disadvantaged clubs (see: Philly and Nashville with Weber). It took Poille no time at all to get Forsberg to a new contract this time. Maybe this threat is what Chevy needs to loosen the purse strings some. It's basically a 3 way tug of war right now. *shrugs*

Bruins only have 16 players under contract with $20 M cap space. Jets have 19 players signed with $20.1 M cap space (cap friendly). Jets are not really a team that is easy pickings for an offer sheet.

The potential players n the RFA offersheet game

Funniest comment from a Bruins fan:

They don't need first round picks because the guys Sweeney likes will still be available 30 picks later

Here's an article that goes into the "credibility" of Haggerty and the Boston media

Throwing ***** at the wall and seeing what sticks: How Boston media is letting itself, fans, the Bruins and the NHL down

Seeing as nobody has ever given up 4 consecutive 1st round picks as compensation, i highly doubt it becomes " a thing " to do now. If Sweeney does this and pays Trouba 9million plus AAV, he will be the laughing stock of the league. i dont think many people would be lining up to follow in his footsteps. All just my opinon of course

The rumour say it's 7 x $7M. Nobody saying it's gonna be 9.4 AAV.

I think it was two years back when he said Wheeler was a 3rd liner on a good team.

oh my bad i keep reading about 4-1st round picks as compensation. the ONLY way that happens is if its 9.4 or more i thought?

 

[Aavco Cup]

If the deal is more than 5 years you divide the total by 5 anyway

7 x 7 = 49 then divide by 5 = 9.8 for the purpose of determining compensation.

But offer sheet compensation is worked out based on 5 years. It is explained early on in the other thread discussing this.

I swear Aavco you should be on salary as a fact checker.

I knew very little on these matters until finding my way to these boards three years ago. I learned a lot of it right here from others.

It is not just the accuracy but the speed BTW I'm guessing you will have some good reports from development camp next week. Tomorrow I'm off on a little vacation time but will be checking in for some camp updates.

I imagine I'll attend most if not all of the camp.

The Oilers tried to give up 4 firsts for Vanek in 2007.

 

[folix]

A team should have to give up compensation just by making an offer sheet.

If im looking at division rival id simply drive up the price just to hurt the other team. Unless there is already and im missing something.
