Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXI - We are in The End Game now.

[Crease]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I enjoy the business side of the NHL as much as I enjoy the games

After my illusions of being a professional athlete faded, they were replaced with illusions of being a professional gm.

 

[Thirty One]

We can save $666,067 this season if we buyout Panarin

Add that to the $693,750 from a Kakko buy-out, how close do we get?

 

[Irishguy42]

The rule is the paperwork must be filed before 5PM. After the paperwork is filed the player must be put on unconditional waivers at the next available opportunity. Meaning Smith could actually go on waivers Thursday if the paperwork is filed today after the Noon waiver deadline.

You da man

I am still pursuing the job of agent.

 

[Tawnos]

Does this involve the Rangers?

LA has cap room.

This wasn't him saying he has breaking news, from what it looks like. It was him saying that he was about to post an article.

An article about a Ranger buyout?!

 

[Alluckks]

How much cap space do we have if we buyout literally everyone on the team

Inb4 the board goes down later today, folks.

He posted that tweet on accident, it was supposed to be a reply DM to me asking for nudes

Gorton has more patience than 90% of this board.

Gorton has more patience than 100 % of this board. Myself included.

Mr Andersson.. welcome back.....we missed you.

Buying out every single contract in the Rangers system leaves us with $36,904,429.

We can easily fit Tony and Lemieux then and maybe add a depth D man.

Jim Ramsay has more patients than 90% of this board too.

The only problem here is that you're only allowed 3 buyouts outside the regular period over the course of the CBA, so we'd have to wait until June to buy out almost all of those 40+ contracts.

It really is the only problem.

FML... Nevermind Back to square one board..

So the Rangers could buy out everyone and still spend more than the Senators.

About the only thing we can be sure of is that there is something percolating other than a straight buyout.

There wouldn’t be this much drama if we were ever just saying thanks for playing, drive home safely to one of the 3S group.

Inb4 the board goes down later today, folks.

Earlier I legitimately did think the board was crashing, but then I realized it was just our office's internet and I needed to go reset the router.

I would imagine Gorton has deals on the table that he can pull the trigger on at a moments notice. It’s just a matter of palatability versus a buyout. He’s always been a patient GM. I imagine he’s waiting to see if any of those offers get upped before pulling the buyout trigger. It might also determine who gets bought out. If there are truly no acceptable offers on the table by the time 5 rolls around, you’d have to imagine Shattenkirk is the buyout. If someone steps up their offer and we can move salary, maybe Staal or Smith gets the axe.

It was a pleasure playing with you, gents
