2019-2020 NHL Season Thread Hockey • Page 34

Very excited to give Myers 9x9 and Gardiner 10x10 once FA begins


About to become a Seattle fan when they don't even have a team yet

 

Lebrun said it came down to 4 teams and the devils were the only one who agreed to take the full contract

 

It really would have made no sense to trade him but retain salary. At least for the aspirations they have in free agency and extending Josi.

 

2 more seasons and just one more draft until the real fun begins

 

Canes apparently had an awesome draft

What's it like to have an owner that actually cares about the team and wants them to succeed without fucking everything up for their future?

 

Kings had Turcotte and Kaliyev fall to them, that should turn out well

 

The kings have had very good drafts the last 2-3 years. Hopefully Villardi can pull through that injury, he's a hell of a player. Also, Anderson-Dolan could be awesome if they give him some players to work with. It's ironic how such a crappy owner could have such good, cool people running the team.

 

I'm interested to see what the Kings look like in a couple years when these forwards are ready to contribute. First time in awhile where they've had a really good prospect pool.

 

hell yeah let’s go totems

 

I keep thinking Kessel to NSH would be fun but idk how that dream could come true

 

Preemptive thanks for taking Justin Abdelkader

 

you may be able to pass him off to another team when we don't take him. has a strange clause in his contract regarding his limited NMC - "starting in 2020, if Detroit misses playoffs or Abdelkader is not among the Top 9 F in TOI, he can be traded to any team - clause resets in each of the last 3 years"

 

Vegas has to lose 1.5M to get under the cap by the start of the season

Colorado has to spend at least 16M just to get to the cap floor by the start of the season

incredible.

 

Vegas is going to have to make multiple moves to get under the cap

 

how many contracts can a team commit to LTIR?

 

i can't find anything about a limit on number of players that can be on LTIR per team, but Vegas still seems fucked if they wanna try and play the LTIR route:

(using 60 as a simple rounded number from the website for the example) - "The salary cap Upper Limit is $60.0MM, and a team currently has a 20 man roster of $59.0MM. There is $1.0MM in cap room available to them. In the first day of the regular season, a player making $2.0MM is hit along the boards, injured, and subsequently placed on LTIR. The team now has that $2.0MM to use in order to bring in replacement player(s) to fill the hole left by that $2.0MM player-- that number is equal to the injured player's salary. They are able to spend up to $61.0MM (or, $1.0MM over the cap) to replace that player.

This is because, at the time of injury, the team had $1.0MM in cap space available to them. Since the injured player on LTIR had a salary of $2.0MM, $1.0MM of that goes towards getting the team to the Upper Limit of that year (which is $60.0MM), and then the remaining $1.0MM is used to allow the team to temporarily exceed the Upper Limit until the player on LTIR is able to return.

Think of it this way-- a $2.0MM player was injured on a team that had $1.0MM in cap room. The cap hit of the injured player ($2.0MM) minus the amount of salary cap space ($1.0MM) equals the amount that team can exceed the upper limit by ($1.0MM)."

basically, the salary doesn't quite "go away" because the replacement players would have to get paid, so unless they put a major expensive player on LTIR they'd still probably be over the cap, depending who goes out and where they are cap-wise at the start of the season. and once the LTIR player is cleared they gotta come back.

right now they have 6 defencemen signed. hopefully no one gets hurts since those 6 gotta play all 82 games lol

only one goalie signed.

12 forwards. so again, hopefully no one gets hurt since all 12 are playing all 82 games at this point and someone somewhere has to be traded to get under the cap and they gotta sign a backup goalie since i'm sure that's required even if Fleury were able to play every minute of an 82 game season.

 

gotcha, I was thinking if detroit took david clarkson's contract, but franzen and zetterberg will both be on LTIR next year too

 

dammit the devils are gonna be a fun team to watch

 

yeah, they may have to be my girlfriend team this year.

 

we welcome all bandwagoners with open arms

 

Devils entered the draft with 10 picks

they left the draft with PK Subban and drafted 11 players and still have their 1st next year

 

Meanwhile in Vancouver
