NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

A Farabee trade.

Depends on the return and how expensive he would be.

A Farabee trade.

Most likely. Just using Capwages info (since I don't have the brain for anything more) Laine would be $8.7M, minus RyJo's $4M cap hit, means we'd need to find $4.7M in space, along with our existing $830K overage we'd need to clear, so about $5.5M. Farabee out for no cap back gets us $5M of that, and the rest can be handled by sending someone down; alternately, we'd either have needed a taker for Ristolainen, or a combination of assets out, possibly Laughton and Frost.

Come on man.

Come on man.

If you want to find me another player on the roster who a) the team would be willing to move and b) added to Frost equals roughly $5M, be my guest.

It's just that if Flyers management had to choose between trading Laughton and sawing off a leg, they'd all saw off both their legs to be sure.

The point was/is they will not trade Laughton.

And then, once they bled out, we sneak into the office and file the paperwork. EZPZ.

Sorry Briere, you're gonna have to find a 1C through the Draft. No easy way out. Good thing they are tanking to give themselves the best shot at it!

Uh, Briere wouldn’t want Draisaitl at $12MM, let alone $14MM.

“When you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does…Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way.”

It’s not about stars. It’s about half-stars.

 

[DancingPanther]

That Nurse contract just gets worse and worse

You win by grinding and trying to reach above your talent level through the alchemical wizardry of Hard Work. No team has ever won that way and no team ever will, but we are going to.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Apparently Laine rejected a trade to the Flyers before he was traded to the Canadiens.

smart guy

Not on a contract that starts at age 30.
And a player who's basically one dimensional.
He's not as good as Sidney at the same age.

If Michkov puts up 100+ points for a couple seasons, he'll get paid.

Nor on a contract that starts at 22. He just doesn't want skilled players. He said so.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

When is this rookie showcase Michkov and Fedotov will be playing in? And does anyone know if it will be televised?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

That would have added $4,700,000 to the Flyers cap this year and next,

Pretty funny that for all the talk about taxes, Laine would rather pay Canadian taxes than play for Torts again.

Can't say I blame him, I wouldn't want to play for torts either

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

How on earth can the Oilers afford McDavid and Bouchard now?

 

[FLYguy3911]

It's not a game. Just a photo-op.

Damn that’s disappointing

 

[Beef Invictus]

Damn that’s disappointing

Rookie games against the Rangers are on Sep 13 and 14 in Allentown. Television status is always sketchy

[GKJ]

What specifically are they showcasing? Other than that sweet IBX logo on the jersey.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Some Flyer fans are going to panic if Michkov doesn’t dominate from the start.
