I forgot PDG was even up.

This is a chance for Shesty to get some more games over the break anyway.

 

[NYSPORTS]

All-Star break so it makes sense.

 

[Crease]

Wolfpack have home games on the 24th and 25th. Igor in net for both then back to New York.

makes no sense then that he's not playing in the ahl allstar game

It's an all star game. Really, who cares? If it was NHL it'd be a line in his resume, but AHL, truly, who cares?

Ehh, he's going to start on the 24th and 25th, feel like he would have no interest getting up early Sunday to catch a flight to California, let him rest up for the second half in NYC.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

why not Kakko?

DiGiuseppe got to play in zero games, very odd call-up.

Makes sense but I thought they’d treat it as a conditioning assignment, not a “reassignment” per se.

Conditioning assignment would have to be approved by the player and would still have him make his NHL salary. But with salary being paid out on a game-to-game basis, he's not missing out on any NHL salary due to the All Star break.

Cap hit is accrues on a daily basis. Season is roughly 180 days long (forget exact number) but each day 1/180th of the cap hit accrues. Thought that salary was paid out the same

I thought that as well, but a few years ago someone, I want to say Friedman but I am not 100% sure, said that's not the case

didn’t Quinn specifically say they weren’t sending anyone down? Could this just be on paper for cap purpose? Why else wouldn’t he go to the all star game then

Thanks. Didn’t know that. So you’re saying that Shesterkin is called back up before the fist game after the break - he will earn his NHL salary during this period regardless of playing in the AHL? Definitely counterintuitive.

From what I understood at the time, the salary is divided by 82 (no of games) and calculated the day of the game, and the income tax is based on where that game is played (where the employee is working that day so to speak).

I assume the payout is still on a monthly basis though

 

[Edge]

Not surprising, and he’ll be back.

 

[Mac n Gs]

They have games on Friday and Saturday, so maybe he's getting those 2 starts and then getting called back up?

maybe just weird cause Quinn was quoted saying they weren’t sending anyone down right before the game

 

[Vitto79]

Cap move too

The salary is calculated on a daily basis--salary divided by days in the season, which is like 185 or something. If you're called up to the NHL and on the NHL roster, you collect pay at your NHL rate for those days even if you don't play. And then it's paid semi-monthly, which is pretty standard in the US, with a portion going into escrow. The guys don't have to play games to make the NHL salary, just be rostered.

If someone is sent down, they should be collecting their AHL salary. You won't get paid an NHL salary in the AHL unless you're maybe on a conditioning stint? That's the whole point of two-way contracts and ELCs. You get paid where you're playing, even if you're not playing.

I can't speak towards income tax calculations or anything, I don't know that stuff.

That's not how it was explained to me, but I am not going to argue.

That's what I thought and why I was talking about conditioning assignment for Igor to keep collecting his NHL salary. Maybe it doesn't matter for a specific break like ASG and by week.

why not Kakko?

If his issue really is his stamina/conditioning/legs, having him jump into two games down there might not be ideal. let him take the week off, catch his breath, and reset, ready for the second half.
