Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXV: Marc Staal... Come on Down!!!

[frozenrubber]

This is actually a misconception. The players get the same amount of money no matter where the cap is set and what percentage escrow is taken out. It's more a matter of when they get the money rather than how much.

This isn't the situation, or at least isn't as written. If you meant to say players get 50% of total HRR, regardless of what HRR is, then yes, that's true. But their actual take home pay for a season is directly affected by the extra ceiling provided by a higher cap limit.

For example, if a player has a salary of a 1 million dollars, in the handful of years where HRR exceeded estimates (happened a few times), they took home 2-4% more. But recently, with the escalator continuing to be used but revenue not growing to keep pace, the NHLPA has seen escrow mechanism remove 12%+ of their yearly salary.

So in reading your reply, I'm unsure of which misconception you were trying to point out.

wrong thread

Maybe I'm suggesting we trade Skjei, Miller, Shesty, 1st, and 2nd for Murray.

 

[Avery16]

and lose him in expansion?... Rangers can not do ANYTHING on defense unless they're buying out Staal or Girardi until after the ED.

There is no reason to sign him before the expansion draft happens.

Ok, that takes care of one of those 4

We'd finish as the best non-playoff team and our slot would win the lottery.

Okay, and Smith is absolutely worth doing 4x4 or close to that.

That takes care of the first two.

And as for the third pairing minutes...I don't know what everyone's ATOI was since Smith got here, so I can't argue that. But if one or both of the Wonder Twins goes away, that likely solves Smith's TOI too.

I think that hits every one of your points.

Smith's value wasn't as high as 4X4 before the trade deadline. Detroit I don't think was interested in offering him $4M. Something was said about Smith being uninterested in staying in Detroit but I don't think he's necessarily worth 4X4 if it wasn't for his UFA status and perhaps the fact that we already committed 2 picks for him, in a way. I'd prefer something around $3,750,000.

I would to, but I think his FA value is something around 4.25-4.5, especially after the post-season he had.

So, getting him at 4 is good value.

We'd regret that contract pretty quick. That's too much for a 3rd pair D. I'd rather keep Klein than give Smith that $ or term. Didn't show much

should actually be on the 2nd pair with Skjei, they are a great pair, but AV... so...

 

[Boruto]

The countdown for a buyout is on! Get hyped!

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

So Nash or Stepan to Nashville for.....???? Lol

 

[TheBloodyNine]

So glad the season is finally over.

Now, when is Mackinnon getting here???

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Stepan to Nashville makes a ton of sense. Was actually coming in here to post that lol.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

This is gross to see


BTW, excellent job firing Torts and Sullivan and hiring AV. Well done, Sather. Another one of your brilliant moves...

[nyrleetch]

We make any trades yet?

That's fair, but I think the majority wanted us to keep Torts. I mean we were coming off the playoffs and a couple of years removed from the ECF and then poof, Sather fires Torts.


Didn't like it then. Certainly don't like it now.

That's not how I remember it at all...

Torts is not the kind of coach that should be kept for more than 4 years

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

For Fabbro Kamenev and a #1

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

And AV is? AV has worn out his welcome FARRRRRR faster and much more than Torts did.



Unless you're Larry Brooks

Cup Finals are over. Time for trades and whatnot! Offseason is exciting!

Most importantly, buyouts of Les Wonder Twins

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Dan Girardi, come on down

It's time for you to be..... BOUGHT OUT

 

[SnowFort]

How fast will the trade announcements start pouring in? Not just for the rangers but other teams as well. Is tomorrow too early?
