Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XIX

[Avery16]

Can someone explain why Tampa wanted Seabrook’s contract?

Won’t count against the cap while he’s on LTIR.

 

[Thirty One]

It cost us a 2nd round pick to get out of staal contract for one f***ing season lol

Tyler Johnson is a lot better than Marc Staal.

Ristolainen tho…

when a player is on LTIR you can spend over the cap by that amount....so they can now go over the cap by the amount of seabrook's contract. that extra space is only temporary until the player returns and then you have to be compliant again. but seabrook is never gonna play again.

Figured

This is a case of "Tactic gets overplayed by one team then banned"

It's the Kovalchuk retirement contract all over again.

Chicago pulls the same crap with their willing made up illnesses into existence

 

[Thirty One]

Avalanche steal one from us.

 

[Doctyl]

So much for their final offer being 3x6 or whatever it was

 

[NYR Viper]

not bad but only if Ryan takes 2 years or less. otherwise keep Rooney at center and lets see if one of the kids like Barron can force his way into the lineup.
How much do you think Bonino would want in Term?

I think 2 years. He’s 34

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

You never ever make your final offer until you have to…

Remember that about Eichel.

8X7 is the number

 

[Doctyl]

Ristolainen tho…

Philly wouldn’t know a good defenseman if it slapped them in the face. They actually wanted him

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Was never really a whole lot of doubt from my end.

NYI can dream on someone else.

Drury going to sign Danault to 7x9m out of spite

 

[bl02]

Thank goodness. Glad neither us or the islanders got him lol

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

First 4 then modified NTC

Would love this structure for Zibanejad

 

[Doctyl]

This is Colorado’s Kreider

 

[RGY]

Yikes.

But also happy the Islanders could not add him @bl02

 

[Doctyl]

I would rather him walk

 

[RGY]

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I would rather him walk

As long as we have Eichel first sure lol

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Thank goodness. Glad neither us or the islanders got him lol

The Isles were never getting him. They just could not afford it.

Spite for who? Us?
