GDT: Training Camp 2022

[McDNicks17]

When do we hear if Janmark/Samoroukov cleared waivers? If Janmark was claimed that opens up a little cap space.

Usually around now it hits Twitter, but I haven’t seen anything.

NVM, Samo and Janmark cleared.

Everyone cleared except some Jets player

[The Nuge]

Us not waiving Shore has me a little confused. There’s no way we can get under the cap without waiving him, Ryan, or Foegele

 

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

Sorry, you’re not worth my time. Best of

Yup, particularly in the replies after that post. Lol

Oh come on
Just because I don’t totally agree with you
And
Bring up a legitimate concern, I must be a fan of another team?
Again
Sorry I shook you’re confidence

 

[Spawn]

So players still here:

Kane-McDavid-Yamamoto
Holloway-Draisaitl-Hyman
Nuge-McLeod-Puljujarvi
Foegele-Ryan-Shore
Hamblin, Benson (injured?)

Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Bouchard
Murray-Barrie
Broberg

Campbell
Skinner

That is a 23/23 player roster but 1.64M over the cap. Even if Benson went on LTIR its still 894K over the cap.

There has to be something else coming. There isn't room for Shore or Hamblin on the roster.

When do the Oilers need to be cap compliant? lol

Hmmm that is odd. Think Holland is still hunting for a Foegele trade? What's the cut off date for being able to waive players?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Does Yamamoto going on LTIR relieve some cap problems? (Hasn’t played in a while)

 

[McDNicks17]

Do we see a Janmark trade or something now that the next team could freely bring him up and down?

That would clear enough space for Shore.

I don't think it does. Around 1.2 M can be buried on any contract so anyone making under that has no effect on the cap, generally speaking.

It would free up $125k.

 

[AM]

If anything your proved my point a bit more, Weegars contract is miles better than Nurse


Nurse has already had the best season he will ever had and it’s an overpay based on that so I mean…unless Nurse is an undisputed top 5 defender in the league, it’s a terrible contract.

That’s why they play the games. Contracts are awarded for what they perceive to be the expected performance.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Nemo will be back, 1st d called up, either as a reinforcement for an injury or a spark in the midst of a losing streak

 

[MessierII]

This. There was a lot of talk about Weegar being this amazing player in Florida, but they sure weren't afraid to let him go, were they? I know they got a high value player, but I think they realized that they were trading both pieces in that deal at their absolute highest value. I expect both to regress on Calgary. Huberdeau will still be good, but I'm interested to see how Weegar fits on Calgary's blueline where the only real consistent pieces are Tanev and Hanafin.

it's also curious as to why Bill Zito, an analytics guru himself, was willing to part with an analytics darling like Weegar

Weegar had an awful playoffs.

 

[Anarchism]

Kent Hughes has done a number of good moves...this is another.

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[duul]

Interested to see how they solve the cap problem today or tomorrow.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Has Hamblin made the team over Holloway?

 

[The Nuge]

I don't think it does. Around 1.2 M can be buried on any contract so anyone making under that has no effect on the cap, generally speaking.

It frees up just enough that we could use Hamblin/Shore instead of Malone/McKegg for the last forward spot

 

[5 14 6 1]

Has Hamblin made the team over Holloway?

Lol no.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Has Hamblin made the team over Holloway?

 

[Jumptheshark]

that is my response seeing his name on some posters rosters over Holloway

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Weegar had an awful playoffs.

So did nurse

 

[Oilhawks]

So did nurse

Nurse played through an injury that most people here wouldn’t be able to go to work with, let alone play hockey at the absolute highest level.

Weegar’s excuse? Not caring, I guess. He’s going to Be a perfect fit on their perpetually vaunted blue line for the next while (doubt he stays the full 8 years, likely bought out before that or pay to get rid of).

Chicago Blackhawks' TV voice has epic slip of the tongue during preseason broadcast

Chicago Blackhawks' announcer Chris Vosters reminded us Saturday that it’s the preseason for broadcasters too.

announcers need training camp as well
