With Martin’s one-way contract, does his pay while in Chicago go against Canes cap hit or only when he is called up?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Somewhat surprised, but the Patera claim and Martin's salary being one-way was probably helpful to get him through.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Martin isn't really that good. Our system makes goalies not named LaFontaine look better than they are. Glad he cleared as it makes things simpler if we do wind up needing a 3rd goalie but reality is even if he was claimed we could manage with some other goalie in a pinch.

nope, he's under the 1.05M cap hit required for any overage on that number to accrue

Anything above league minimum + 375k (so currently 1.125m) applies to the cap. If a one way contract at or under that threshold, the cap impact in the AHL is zero.

Yeah, it was great he was able to fill in a bit for us, but he's not a permanent NHL solution for most outside of injuries. At least a guy like Patera might still have a bit of youth and upside on his side (compared to Martin, at least). And we make most guys look good as you mention.

Cheers all - hoping you all and your families are safe and well.

Wondering if anyone has any insight into which of Andersen or Kochetkov is likely to see the majority of starts or who looks better at this point? Or is it more likely they split the season?

Appreciate any thoughts anyone has on the matter, my pool is drafting late so I thought I'd ask the folks that know best!

board rule - for fantasy advice questions, you have to tell us the name of your fantasy team first. if it is good enough, or someone is in the mood to answer, then you get the info.

Most teams don't expect the moon and the stars from third goalies, though. Goalies are a somewhat scarce commodity, however, especially when it comes to depth, which is why it isn't uncommon to see even veteran goalies like Martin claimed off of waivers.

And “able to fill in a bit” is about all you can ask from a third goalie unless you have a prospect like Kochetkov on an ELC. And even then, he went on a couple hot stretches but came crashing back down.

Martin is exactly what they needed to find and it’s good he cleared and can prepare to play in Chicago.

Fair rule. We don't name our teams in this pool, but if I did, mine would be Ogilthorpe's Posse. Grew up with Slap Shot and love old time hockey!

So tough to say who looks better as each only got one pre season game so far. If I had to guess on who's going to get most of the starts it's Kooch at like a 60-40/65-35 type split.

Piss on old time hockey!

Old time hockey and I don't have that kind of relationship.

Old time hockey and I don't have that kind of relationship.

I'd make a joke about sisters in law and certain prominent individuals in our state, but that would be a no-no, so I won't.
