Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

[JJ18Sniper]

Likely doesn't figure into much... but that income tax calculator on Cap Friendly shows the NJ combined federal/state combination at 1% higher than for the Islanders.

(NJD: 39.06% fed+9.71% state= 48.87% vs NYI: 39.06% fed+8.60% state = 47.87%)

1% on 10 million is $100k take home.

[steveat]

it would be dumb to pay so much I would rather pay another top 3 centre 10 mill than have barzal and gaudreau at 10 mill...let the Devils and Ranjerks screw up their cap....we will get all the deals..

 

[duster19]

I believe Gaudreau sign with us but If Gaudreau doesn't and Kadri is goes elsewhere , what would a possible UFA
that might help us move forward ?

And forget Trade, can't see Lou moving any players

I’d focus on getting Kane from CHi.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Dougie Hamilton was Gudreaus teammate in CGY. He could sell him.

Isn't it the narrative that nobody likes Hamilton?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Give him the fattest bag idc at this point

 

[CupHolders]

Maybe the devils being small will make Gudreau feel bigger? Think about it.

Huh... very Gulliver's Travels if you think about it.

 

[YoureMyBoyLou]

I was going to say that free agency day to me is like me being a Jew on Christmas when everyone else is getting gifts. But it's actually worse than that because here I have hope of getting a gift. Please for once in my life, let us get the gift.

I have no idea but I can tell you I don’t like him lol

Not that it matters, but they only pay state tax on half their salary. Road games are taxed in the road state.

We'll get 8 days of insignificant gifts instead.

 

[SI90]

Is it weird that I’m more excited to see who Lou trades out if we sign Gudreau? Lol

Let's all go out for Chinese food!!

 

[duster19]

Don’t see us linked to any dmen. Are we going with Aho/Salo? That seems crazy.

 

[SI90]

Would be hilarious if out of nowhere the flyers made a trade and then signed Gaudreau LMAO

Relax, we'll pick up someone like Gabriel Carlsson tomorrow for $1.5 million

Could be what he is waiting on TBH, you waited this long to play for your favorite team why not give them more time

 

[SI90]

Have Palmieri call Gudreau and tell him how bad NJ smells

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Dougie or Alexander?

 

[Chardo]

Not so crazy. This team can't spend big for a 6D. They'll bring in depth, but it won't be a big name.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

You can’t turn left and can’t pump your own gas!

 

[PK Cronin]

Wouldn't shock me at all.

 

[Chardo]

You can get into NJ for free. You have to pay to get out.

 

[MJF]

Here's the Caps backup goalie. 5 NHL games. This is why you don't just get "any ole backup".

 

[CupHolders]

You can’t turn left and can’t pump your own gas!

Restricting this, is a crime against basic human decency!
