Talking hockey and debating Michkov vs Demidov or who will be our top 6 seems so trivial today. The only thing that should matter, is that two young men lost their lives in a tragic, heartbreaking collision.

Yeah, I’m a little bummed out today. Just so tragic and honestly, if it happened as described/speculated, it’s incredibly scary because while there isn’t always a loss of life, this sort of thing happens every minute of the day somewhere.

The night before his sister’s wedding and his brother too. That just sucks.

I wonder if CBJ and CGY will retire his jersey like the Pens did Briere. Truly a tragedy...

Folks,
We’ve got a thread on Gaudreau here. Please put your thoughts there and we’ll keep this for other comings and goings around the league.

News Article: - Johnny Gaudreau passed away
A lot of social media posts last night are saying this. No verification yet by any credible sources of authority so take this with a. Huge grain of salt. Could be completely bullshit. Hopefully it is

Circumstances irrelevant, Columbus are going to be able to rebuild properly and get out of the forced early exit Jarmo started after losing 18+ mil in cap. Moneyhands is now their highest paid forward.
I'm sure they'll just make crappy decisions again though because that's the entire history of the Columbus Blue jackets.

Curious to see how much money got deferred to the 9th year and how it reshape the contract AAV.
lol deferred money that affects AAV. Great work NHL, clown league. Here’s the loophole Oilers were waiting for!
And every team will now use that to lower AAA artificially. Great stuff.

I believe the Coyotes did something similar with the Doan contract. I think ultimately the Canes save 400k cap hit per year if this gets allowed. My question is to what extent can this be done? I don't even think being able to defer to an extra year that doesn't count against the cap should be allowed.

How have the Leafs never done this deferred money thing yet since they currently have the almighty cap genius guru Brandon Pridham working in their front office.
So many in the Leafs fanbase pump this guys tires as if he's some cap genius just because he helped write the CBA. So what? Just because you helped write a document doesn't mean others don't also know that same document completely inside and out.

Actually, I'm not sure if in this case the main intent is to lower the AAV or dollars spent (Cash flow management) or both. Capfriendly is gone and so are gone the lightning fast update on contract structure and details. We'll see in a few days I guess.

As only 8 years are allowed pretty sure that 9th year is some kind of lockout protection, so that the player does not have to starve when the current CBA is up in 2026(?).

Signing bonuses are already lockout proof, from the agents/players side of things it wouldn't make sense to jump through that hoop. That would make sense from a team perspective, taking the signing bonus due for the 2026-27 season and deferring it to 2032, so to no risk paying hard cash during a lockout (and a season with a lot of revenue losses.) but Jarvis would need to be really really nice to accept that kind of deal.
