Hope Svechy can improve on this front. It has to be so frustrating for him.

semi-random question on the business side of things.

how much of a financial windfall was it for perets, being the backup on saturday? are players paid 1/82 of their nhl salary per game they are on the roster? I thought that was how it worked, but with cap accrual gymnastics we do i'm wondering if maybe it is daily? or actual pay and daily cap on the roster are different things... this isn't something i've ever put much though into.

it just occurred to me that for perets, a guy making just over 80 grand in the minors, that one call-up was a pretty sweet bonus. if they are paid by game, it would have been just a bit under 10k.

tangentially, that is good moving money if he is going to the echl. i think between perets and the russian khnsomething, they would rather send perets down, and i'm really hoping the wolves keep tokarski.

I think it’s based on the number of days they’re in the nhl roster, not games. Which is why we’ve had a bunch of guys that dont need to clear waivers get ‘sent down’ and recalled between games in the last few years.

@Lempo can certainly answer that.

Would if I could. That's a damn good question.

I can only guess that it would make a lot of sense that the real pay probably isn't allow to differ from how it is for the salary cap purposes, so that if you're in AHL for a day for the salary cap, you also wouldn't get NHL salary for that day either. BUT. The salary cap get gamed that way and it would get gamed even if the players took the hit for it, so I'm just as prepared to believe that NHLPA would have gotten some silent concession that the player gets paid the NHL salary anyway if the transfer is merely a paper transfer.

I *think* it's kind of telling that you never hear a player whine about getting stolen some salary by team's shenanigans.

I don't even care about the opponents. That stretch suddenly has a lot of games in not a lot of days.
was already 2 back to backs and 5 in 9 days....now, 6 games in 9 days....Bolts screwed us by not agreeing to play the earlier date.
Minny 1/4
Pitt 1/5
Tampa 1/7
Toronto 1/9
Vancouver 1/10
Anaheim 1/12

a small silver lining - other than the rescheduled game at Tampa, all of those are at home.

meanwhile, in the same stretch of dates, Tampa has:
@ Sharks 1/4
@ Kings 1/5
Canes 1/7
Bruins 1/9
@ devils 1/11
@ pens 1/12

So, while it may be a bit of a pyrric victory, tampa screwed themselves, too.
edited so it isn't tagging random devils/pens fans

How do you rate your NHL team’s owner? Have your say in our fan survey​

For years, Dom Luszczyszyn has done a nice job at The Athletic of compiling the NHL front-office confidence rankings, the latest version of which you can read here.

We’ve decided to expand that out this season into a new set of rankings, one evaluating the 32 ownership groups across the league.

Our 2024-25 owners breakdown will ultimately take into account more than your votes, but we want to have a component of our analysis that comes right from the fans who go to games and are directly impacted by ownership decisions. From there, we will take the responses and combine them with in-depth analysis of every ownership group in a variety of other areas.
