Unless he signs a foolishly low number contract, I really don't want Panarin. He signs at sub 9, I guess you can't pass. I Don't think there is any chance of that so truly, I wish him well elsewhere.

The picks used in an offer sheet have to be our picks.
I Was listening to Leafs Lunch and they were talking Marner. The thing I did not know Was that the picks have to be yours, but they don't need to be the next year. So they we're saying all 31 teams were still in for offer sheets. Anyone ever heard this before?
 
For a network that does nothing but Hockey, you would think they could get it all right. I got a kick out of that Pionk thing too. Maybe they offer sheet him?:naughty:

My wife listens in the background and makes fun of me listening to Jacky.;)

I haven't and I'm not sure that's accurate.

This is from the CapFriendly offer sheet FAQ:

What are the details for the club making the offer sheet?

To submit an Offer Sheet, the following conditions must be met:
  1. The submitting club must have all of the required draft picks available prior to submission
  2. All of the draft picks required as compensation must be the club's own draft picks (draft picks acquired from a different team in a trade cannot be used)
  3. The draft picks must available in the nearest entry draft, unless the compensation requires two or more draft picks in the same round: an extra year can be used to for compensation for these picks (if two 1st round picks are required, the club must have two 1st round picks available in the next three drafts)
  4. If an Offer Sheet is proposed in which multiple draft picks from the same round are required as compensation, the additional draft picks are sourced from the immediately succeeding drafts in which the draft picks are available
  5. A club is permitted to present multiple Offer Sheets, so long as the club has all of the picks required to satisfy each Offer Sheet.
NOTE: Clubs who do not have all of their own picks cannot substitute those picks with picks they have obtained from other clubs. However, clubs can reacquire their own picks in order to meet the requirements, but they must do so prior to submission

It's 4 of the next 5 years for the 4 1sts compensation and you don't have a choice of which 4 it is.
 
Leafs re-signing Kapanen and Johnsson most likely spells the end of Marner in TOR.

Why? They will definitely trade other guys. Like Kadri for example. Marner is their best offensive forward arguably, they will do anything to keep him and in the process cap-strap themselves even more, lmao.

Toronto is the grade A example of f***ing yourself over. Dubas with a wanna-be big dick FA signing that pretty much crippled the Leafs make-up.
I can see the kid losing his job. The Tavares signing is f***ing them over so bad.

True. Not sure if they'll get a fair deal for Nylander.

And they shouldn't. Forgot about Moneylander, he's the obvious guy they have to get rid of.

Senile Lou is more responsible for putting them in a shitty situation than Dubas.

The Marleau (which they've cleared) and Zaitsev deals were his doing and made this situation a lot tougher than it needed to be.

Now Dubas' roster construction? Different story.
 
I highly doubt Brooks actually knows that or that the Rangers themselves even know that. Everything is just speculation now and nobody really knows anything.
Pretty specific if he's just speculating.

More likely he's floating that via Gorts and/or the NYR stating exactly what's what to get the cost down.

Now that they've met, it may have changed but I doubt it
 
What is a big jump?

I created an excel sheet a few months ago. The average increase in HRR is like 5% from 2005. In 14 years it’s up from 38m or whatever to 81.5m. During that time we had the worst financial crash ever or since 1929 at least. Lately the loonie is tanking and the PA have rolled back the inflator bumper (which is one off). Is it down to zero this year? The increase is 2.5% this year. The inflation bumper was what 1.5% last season. That would give a rough 4% increase in HRR. If we have a 3% growth per average the cap will be 100m in 7 years.

The TV market is very hard to predict. Nobody is watching linear TV. Sports is the only thing that gets people to ink subscriptions. OTOH, the younger generation doesn’t seem to watch as much sports. Who knows what the future brings. Short term the out look should be fairly good though. The NHL must get the channels to bid against each other to get good money in the US. That doesn’t seem to be happening anymore with hockey. I don’t got track of the different suitors.

Im with you on this. Just because we had some bad years the cap is rising at 5% on average at least 2 the last years see (table):

It always goes up since the implementation, maybe not each year and each year as much. Actually the only time it didn't go up was around the f'n lockout year.

Also if we talk about a 7 year deal we cannot just look at one season.

Also we are getting a new Team that payed a boatload of money and a new TV deal there are always peaks when a new TV deal was signed (I think 11 an 14)

I hope i could help
 
Islanders out on Panarin. Seems like it's going to be between us and the Panthers.

Just for debates sake...Aho for four first rounders and 9-9.5 million AAV or Panarin for 11.5 million AAV???

probably with that question is that Aho is gonna get 9 mil so there is zero chance that the canes don't match that contract...you'd have to severely overpay on an offer sheet for it to work. if you pay the guy fair value than the other team just says thanks for negotiating and keeps him
