Description
Lines probably aren't right, but I'm looking at money.

Man, that Lou recapture hurts.

RFAs left: Hughes, EP.

Moving Ferland to LTIR and Schenn and Hunt to the Taxi Squad gives them ~$17.2mm to spend for 2021-2022 (unless they move someone to the Taxi Squad that has a higher AAV, but no one was apparent).

So, the max amount of money they could give Hughes is ~7mm in AAV, which would leave ~10.2mm in AAV for EP. ~$10.2 is the cutoff before going to the max compensation.

This configuration leaves them with a #7 and a backup forward. They could recall someone on a contract of less than $1mm for 7 games based on a per game cap charge (a $1mm contract per game is roughly $12,500).

Maybe VAN and Petey agree to a shorter term (3 years at roughly $8M? Just a guess). The recapture penalty and dead cap are gone in a couple of years, opens the doors up for a long term high money extension later.

Very true. I think the recapture ends this season, then the buyout money ends next year. The pressure is just for this season though (then again, Boeser comes up next year too). It depends on how Hughes and EP want to play this situation. They could really force VAN's hands here by trying to max out.

If we consider a 3 year deal, the contract could have a salary around the 10M range in the 3rd year to ensure that his qualifying offer for the next contract will be at least that value. Might be a way to get Petey to sign a 3 year deal.

I think you need to take the emotion out of the decision. We have a player who hasn't reached a PPG pace after three years in the league, and has been prone to injury. His physical stature means he's likely to only play an average of 65 regular season games a year, so what's his peak production? 85 to 95 points in his best year? Likely 70 to 80 on average, and hurt a lot. Does that sound like a player you want to commit 10 million plus per to for long term?

If they are smart, and someone does offer sheet him, they'll take the draft picks. They can shore up at centre with Miller over the short term, will have at least 5 first round picks over the next 3 years, and the next two draft years are expected to be deep in talent. Let someone else gamble 10 mil per on him.

But. Petey said he wants to win. I guess we'll see how much. You know, Tom Brady leaves money on the table so his team can pay his linemen to keep him safe and productive. Russell Wilson had to be the highest paid QB when he signed his deal, and ended up the most sacked QB in the league since the inked dried on the contract. Just sayin'.
