They're obviously bringing their boys back, so this is the return of T-Boobs.
Yes… but this is where the effective cap hit for Nuke being ~5m comes into play. As soon as he’s back the Avs will be above the cap with Nuke’s cap hit at 6.125 and eating into that accrual daily.@henchman21 Will the Avs be able to accrue capspace for the deadline whilst Nichushkin is out until November (assuming Landeskog is off LTIR to start the year)? Or does Nichushkin effectively block accrual like any typical LTIR situation?
With Nichushkin off the roster the Avs will have ~$3m unused cap when running a 22 man roster which would accrue quite a lot. But I guess most likely he does count as LTIR so that idea would be moot.
Ok, if we can get Tkachuk back in exchange for him, i will consider it :-P
It is cottage season now, outside of a few last remaining pieces of business and some minor signings, teams are done until near arbitration.Give us trades today..
Can you please explain why the cap hit goes back to 6.125 once Nuke comes back? I thought that since he's suspended without pay, Avs will owe him less this year than agreed in the contract, hence the AAV would be lower. So I thought it would remain lower the whole year...Yes… but this is where the effective cap hit for Nuke being ~5m comes into play.

Liked what the Oilers did yesterday. Other than that a lot of bad contracts signed. What are the Kraken doing giving out those huge contracts to Montour and Stephanson? Those will age terribly.
Friedman said yesterday, that Seattle realizes that their time is up, they need to make a splash and try to become competitive. NBA is returning to Seattle in a few years, and Kraken have wasted a few years already being mediocre AF.Liked what the Oilers did yesterday. Other than that a lot of bad contracts signed.

Never. Can't wait for next season when they will take a step back and fizzle out in the 2nd round the latest. Most likely 1st round.Favorites in the west definitely.
You'd have to think so. Over Point.Will Hedman be the new captain?
He misses the paychecks during that time that he is out, but he receives his paychecks at the same rate when he returns. Now the daily cap hit is simply AAV/# days in the season. In Nuke's case that is $33k per day (he loses more money than this since his salary next season is 8m) It is exactly like adding a player at the deadline, you absorb the contract moving forward and pay that rate. Any amount that you've accrued up to that point can be utilized to cover any resulting overage. At no point can your cumulative cap hit exceed the maximum amount season to date.Can you please explain why the cap hit goes back to 6.125 once Nuke comes back?

Thanks.
Same. Think the Oilers have set themselves up well. Getting a top 4 dman at the deadline will be of importance for them I would imagine, but they look to be in a great spot for next season.Liked what the Oilers did yesterday.

You mean cup champs rightOilers look great. Favorites in the west definitely.
Their backup behind Skinner is Pickard and their shitass defense is the same.Oilers look great. Favorites in the west definitely.
