While CapFriendly is up, here's the details on a Campbell buyout, with a rising cap, possibly a big jump next year without the drag of Arizona on league revenue, this is not poison.
Broberg will get there, may take a few more months.
That's fair, but this team can't afford it like other teams can. I think they'll just have to make due.
Broberg's underlying numbers were actually extremely poor. He and Nurse got their heads kicked in more often than not, they were just riding a PDO heater.
LOL This is terrible, you think Jackson is going into hibernation? We move Kane in your scenario, and then just don't allocate that money anywhere? Foegeles money doesn't get spent? Ceci and/or Kulak is movable, Campbell is an easy and affordable buyout. Pederson on the roster? Ryan? Come on.
Make due how? By playing him as a backup? By burying him in the minors? If we bury him, we only open up 1.2M in cap space. If we buy him out, we save 3.9, 2.7, 2.4 for the next 3 years. We need that cap space now. Dead cap 4 years from now is bad, but minimal and should be easy enough to work around. It's the price of a bottom line player really.
Do you know what a GM does? Mostly manage, and makes calls to other teams about trades. Jeff Jackson can pick up the phone just as easily as Ken Holland can. They have staff members in place to do the rest of the job - the have scouts scouting, they have assistant GM's doing GM work - work isn't stopping, its just the manager/leader isn't there right now, and Jackson is the one doing most of the managers work anyway it seems - like setting the direction of the organization and whatnot. Not having a Ken Holland replacement isn't the end of the world. Nor does it mean we can't sign players or make trades.
With 2025-2026 being the season that Bouchard and Draisaitl's new contracts will kick in, I wouldn't want to roll anyone's cap hit forward even if we could.
In complete honesty, they already have.
They did this last season, hopefully not any more seasons. Darnell needs to wake the f*** up and show some damn pride in his game.
He's 31 and had a huge injury last year. He still came back and went close to PPG against us in the playoffs.
What do you do? Can't make trades, because the combination of immovable players and NTC/NMC,
If you can even move Kane, you'll take close equal money back, because it's not like you can just trade a guy.
What do you think a GMs job is? No chance they just fill this team with AHLers.
I guess, what does this team have to do what with? Like there aren't assets, there aren't players. It's just stuff.
Guy is a lost cause, BBO. He is vastly overpaid, by at least $3.5 million, and is a 10 year+ vet roughly who we are talking about sheltering. SHELTERING HIS MINUTES. FFS. The guy can f*** all the way off, him and his 2 cent brain. He was absolutely caved defensively and was directly culpable in a number of goals where he royally f***ed up defensive assignments, missed retrieving pucks, lost battles, or didn't have an active stick to prevent a pass getting through in a lane. f*** the guy, really.
Ceci should be gone, he's terrible on a competitive team, but I don't know how you trade him, he's not enough of problem to waste sweeteners on it.
