Yeah, and NEXT YEAR, he wouldn't be on the books at all, which is my point lmao, now he will be for another 2+ million.....it's just horrible asset management, especially with 5 million off the books we could have taken a bad contract from a contender for a 1st or a prospectThat’s not how it works. They would pay him 4M to play in LHV. That’s a 4M cap hit. f*** that.
NopeI'm just glad the Ghost/DeAngelo trade saga is dead
SLURPPPPPPPPPPP
No, but a smart franchise who is supposedly rebuilding could use that cap space to take a bad contract for real value, or help use it to facilitate trades, I can't be the only one thinking this is horrible asset management, yes tda is piece of shit, but there are now missed opportunities due to bad asset managementWhat do you think they are planning for next season - to sign a high price free agent?
Keeping the additional retention slot could be more valuable if they use it correctly.No, but a smart franchise who is supposedly rebuilding could use that cap space to take a bad contract for real value, or help use it to facilitate trades, I can't be the only one thinking this is horrible asset management, yes tda is piece of shit, but their are now missed opportunities due to bad asset management
This is the flyers, they obviously will not lolKeeping the additional retention slot could be more valuable I’d they use it correctly.
This could be a good thing, if they play it right.
He was in the lineup, and if Ghost at $4.5M for two months could only garner a 3rd two years out, what do you think TDA at $5M and one more year on his deal could have garnered at the TDL? Probably unmoveable.Most telling- the people in charge let the guy who made the TDA trade stick around through the trade deadline. When almost all of us would have traded TDA and Laughton for a 1st and 2 2nds.
I would have personally left TDA in the lineup and traded him at the TDL after playing him as the PP1 QB. But torts has won a Stanley Cup so…
This franchise is so doomed.
Every mistake adds up, eventually, before I die, you'll admit to to that$1.66M next year, frees $3.34M this year.
Projected to have $23M in cap room next year, with TDA and only Tippett and Hart as major RFA signings.
Doubt they'd be UFA players, so that's plenty of cap room to facilitate trades.
No. If someone picks up his SPC, they pick it up in full and pay the whole of the one season left.If he's claimed is it still a 50% salary split off waivers? I wouldn't even care if that was the case since it's better than wasting a retention slot to get him to 50% and the return being a future ECHL bottom 6.
Ghost killed it on a good team. His value was shown by the deal he signed.He was in the lineup, and if Ghost at $4.5M for two months could only garner a 3rd two years out, what do you think TDA at $5M and one more year on his deal could have garnered at the TDL? Probably unmoveable.
Uh, it's been reported that they got offered a second for him.He was in the lineup, and if Ghost at $4.5M for two months could only garner a 3rd two years out, what do you think TDA at $5M and one more year on his deal could have garnered at the TDL? Probably unmoveable.

Yeah, yeah, you won't believe the source though.
Capfriendly, Meltzer, and COC, all deleted tweets saying it was mutual.
