Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

[Jormungandr]

Vancouver bought him out. So it may have freed the retention slot up again even though we still get the cap hit.

May need @mouser to come in and sort that one out.

I remember the insiders specifically stating that we get hit with the retention slot for the 8 years. Pretty sure it was Seravalli who said he asked that question, and that was the answer he got.

 

[TheLegend]

BTW.....

Josh Doan was not sent down to Tucson by the 3pm deadline today so he's staying with the big club the rest of the way.

(not that it was a big mystery or anything)

My recollection is the retention slot was supposed to be locked up throughout the buyout term.

Maybe something changed between the NHL and PA, since the buyout, or Puckpedia has it wrong.

 

[Schemp]

Sure is different than from a year ago.

Currently:
11 forwards, 6 defense, and 2 goalies under contract for next season.
Add:
Simashev & But (2 ELCs).
McBain (RFA)
Leaving 1 open spot (Lamoureux?).
...trade expectations @ the draft?

 

[Llewzaher]

BA ment

BA will have $22.3 million in cap space this summer to resign McBain and fill one roster spot. Assuming this deal means he intends to spend at least $14.5 million.

i think BA mentioned Cooley contract coming in the summer

He still has one year left on his ELC, even if he did sign a new contract it wouldn't count against the cap until 2026-27.

Which you can’t do anyway. Extensions can only be signed a maximum of one year in advance. Soonest we can extend him is this July.

Well July is “in the summer”.

 

[Summer Rose]

I am doing a great job of reading today.

I expect Bill to continue hunting for a big, young, top 6 C.

He'll be willing to pay a steep price if or when one hits the market. I'd love to know how he sees Cozens and whether he made a competitive offer for him.

 

[Summer Rose]

After reading the news about Ingram and thinking about what it might mean for both our NHL and AHL roster the rest of the way, I went to the Roadrunners website to see who we might consider calling up instead of having to deny Tucson the play of Stauber for their, only to see that he wasn't listed on the roster anymore. That must mean we've already called him up.

Yeah, it was posted earlier this morning. Stauber partook in practice this morning already.

I’m on a roll with my lack of reading comprehension today.

I see Vilardi needs a contract, but I'd be kidding myself...

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I think perfect fit would be Vilardi (he's RFA, so that would have to be a trade, cuz the Peg has money enough to match an offer), but since that is moot point, I'd go with Duchene, Granlund, Tavares in that order.

$7m/$7m or you pay Tavares $8M to come to Utah

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

of course will Duchene/Granlund accept $7M to come to Utah or Tavares accept $8M to come to Utah.

 

[Jakey53]

of course will Duchene/Granlund accept $7M to come to Utah or Tavares accept $8M to come to Utah.

Does BA want any of these three? I doubt it.

 

[cobra427]

Does BA want any of these three? I doubt it.

Nope, too old and expensive. Remember this is year 4 of the rebuild, we won't compete until years 8-10 for a cup Too early to grab anyone on the downside of their career.

Valimaki out until 2025-26.'

How long ago did he tear it? Has he been playing with a torn ACL?

 

[Jamieh]

How long ago did he tear it? Has he been playing with a torn ACL?

Pretty sure he got hurt in the minors. Really hope his deal is one way???

 

[TheLegend]

Went to the 4 Nations but hadn't played since. Might have been hurt there.

 

[Mangosteen]

I truly believe that it should be BA but at least Bear needs to go. This team has no system and our young players are getting hurt and forming bad habits. Other words we still have that loser stink just a different jersey.. or buy the dream we will make the play offs in 4 years

I will leave my opinion until years end, but as of today I don't agree with what you are saying.
