Thread: CF Sellouts - Caps Suck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FlySharks2006</b></div><div>Waivers exempt does not equal salary cap casualty. If they really wanted the guy up, they would have found a way. Also, there is no way coach and management, with aspirations of another run, are going to trust a new guy with the same responsibilities as a veteran who’s been there before. Sorry to hurt your feelings, but they absolutely will take Rutta over Max ten out of ten times.

You’re putting too much stock into RH faceoff guy.</div></div>

So, do I believe you or Jon Cooper? If you don't think guys sent down because they're waivers exempt you are absolutely delusional. You got two guys you want to keep ,one is waivers exempt, one isn't ,but you can't afford to lose either one who is going down? Salary cap matters

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habitantlecolon</b></div><div>to rebuild a d-corp it takes between 2 to 4 seasons. I'm doing the math behind ;) ! They won't throw 20 million to give a bunch of contracts, which is why they've taken so many deadcaps in the last seasons. They want a huge pile of young top 1st rounders to build a long dynasty</div></div>

They have to sign 9 contracts just to reach 20 there is 20,000,000 easily. Do the math that's less than 2,000,000 average sign 1- $7,000,000 it's 1.3 they have 13 picks in the first 2 rounds of the next 3 drafts combined don't need more draft capital in fact they'll more likely package a bunch of picks for a young cost controlled defenseman or try to sway VGK to trade Theodore for a bunch of picks. Don't say teams don't trade in division because that's truly garbage.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Except the entire contract is insured and once the signing bonus is paid, which is in this comment section then all you're doing is using it to get to the floor. It's the same reason they took Webers contract, Prices would still be more money then his was since it would leave like 5 million left to pay.

I don't think new ownership does this, Smith looks like he is willing to spend actual money to get to a competitive level but this is a typical deal that teams do all the time to get to the floor, just depends on the teams strategy</div></div>

According to Allan Walsh on "agent provocateur" podcast NHL contracts are only insured up to 80% so do I believe you or an NHL agent. Do you have some proof of your statement? Only two reasons to do this I seriously doubt Utah is in either
1) You have a really bad contract you need to dump to get cap compliant ( i.e. TB trading Tyler Johnson for Brent Seabrook)
2 you need to reach the cap floor and Smith has stated that won't be a problem.
Other than those it's the dumbest thing a GM CAN DO!!
