Out of Town Thread - New Year's Edition!

[Schooner Guy]

Off to the great wife-beating party in the sky, as they say.

Imagine being the strongest man in hockey and beating a woman. Imagine wearing a toupee. Of course he's the all-time face of the disgraced Blackhawks organization.

Just realized Bergeron and Krejci only have a combined cap hit of 3.5M this season. Now thats taking one for the team

 

[HuGort]

One of all-time greats

Yup. But with their performance bonuses, they'll count for a total of $8M. Bergeron at $5M and Krejci at $3M.

According to CapFriendly:
- Bergeron's only performance bonus is 10 GP, which triggers an extra $2.5M to his $2.5M cap hit.
- Krejci's performance bonuses are triggered at 10 GP ($1M), then 20 GP ($500K) and then a playoff participation ($500K), which would trigger an extra $2M to his $1M cap hit.

Ain't the bonus cap hit applied next season though?

Only if you can't fit it in this year.

Grade A player, and a grade A pos.

I know we as hockey fans usually s*** on NHL refs but they're by far the best out of the major NA sports (maybe besides MLB). Also I think their decisions are the least consequential to the overall game so that might be part of it

They are garbage. Only nba might be worse.

 

[donghabs98]

So the Bruins could load up this year and max their cap out and carry over the bonuses for next year's cap?

If so, gives a Last Dance sort of vibe with their core when you look at their contracts for next year.

I remember watching an old time game and seeing Bobby Hull on the ice. He was just miles ahead of everyone. They all looked like they were skating in mud and he was flying.

I often wonder how different things could have been in the 1972 Summit Series if WHA players were allowed to join Team Canada and if Bobby Orr wasn’t hurt. Canada likely wins 6 of the 8 games.

I wasn't alive to experience his playing career but from the stuff I have seen..... This guy was freaking stallion. He's known for his shot, but what physical specimen he was too.

Kind of sounds like the description you would throw around for ovechkin.

There's a rumor lately about Bally Sports RSN going bankrupt and i'm like I never heard of Bally ever. Then the affected teams are listed starting with Arizona Coyotes and i'm like oh! makes perfect sense now.

They are part of the media behemoth known as Sinclair media which runs many of the local news syndications in the United States.

They also make sure that their ultra conservative views are reflected in their syndications.

They sound really gross. John Oliver ran a segment on them a few years ago which I'm sure is on YouTube somewhere.

Do you not watch the NFL?

 

[JianYang]

Do you not watch the NFL?

Casual NFL fan. I think their biggest problem is that their rulebook has been over complicated and bloated like it's the federal income tax act.

I'm generally alot more mellow as I've aged, but the refs in the nhl somehow infuriate me more now than ever.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Only if you can't fit it in this year.

I believe it might be automatically deferred to next cap because we put Price on LTIR before the season started. Why? I'm not sure but the $1.132M carryover bonuses we have this season. You would imagine that would have fit in last year's cap right?

 

[WeThreeKings]

NFL literally handed the game to the Chiefs last night.. like, I'm gonna cheer for the Chiefs now in the Superbowl but it was pretty egregious the critical officiating errors late in the game.

We were talking about Boston's cap with Bergeron and Krejci's bonuses, not about the Habs.

But in general, performance bonuses can be accounted for the current year. It's only if the team doesn't the cap space. it transfers to the following year. What I'm not sure is if teams can choose to have it transfer to the following year. Or if they have no choice (you have it count this year if you have the room, if not, it transfers to next year).

So the Bruins could load up this year and max their cap out and carry over the bonuses for next year's cap?

If so, gives a Last Dance sort of vibe with their core when you look at their contracts for next year.

Exactly. But next year, they will have to make sure they have the cap space for the extra $3.5M of their bonuses.

LOL! Most NFL officials have other full-time jobs and being an NFL ref is a part-time side job for them. They have several controversial blown calls every week that have implications on playoff spots and cost a lot of people big time money from bets. This is with far fewer games than in the NHL.

NHL refs can be infuriating but watch a month of international refereeing and you'll appreciate them more.

Are Van gonna outtank us ? At least if the Isles get better could influence the FLA pick.

 

[the valiant effort]

Is that really the best the Nunks could do?

 

[1909]

Cheap price to pay for such a player. Beauvillier is a third line player at best and Raty could never see a NHL ice or if he does, another third line guy.. And that 1st rounder could be between 20th and 32nd

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Is that really the best the Nunks could do?

Considering he's a ufa, that's a good return.

Beauvillier is a middle 6 centre, Ratu seems like a good prospect and a 2023 1st.

 

[Vachon23]

The real question is:

Will Horvat still play with the pacific at the All Stars Game ?

 

[Colezuki]

Awesome news, this makes it tougher on Florida and us

 

[Vachon23]

It’s better protected then I thought
