Carlo McEvoy

Created by: Habhater
Team: 2019-20 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 20, 2019
Published: Aug. 20, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
With this scenario, both Carlo & McEvoy are signed for a fair price. Carlo is locked up for 6 years and McEvoy to only 2 (bridge). It leaves the B's with $2,953,334 in cap space which means that once Moore and Miller come off LTIR, one or perhaps both would have to be traded. Backes is a conundrum. He still has value but the B's would be much better off if he could be traded, perhaps to Ottawa. Ottawa could buy him out and Backes could then have his cake and eat it too. The problem is what other sweetener would the B's have to throw into that trade, besides a 1st round pick, to make it worthwhile for Ottawa. In any event, it is food for thought.

We saw what it cost the Leafs to rid themselves of Marleau a first rounder....for a one year 6.25 cap hit and 3m actual cash.
Plus what is Backes' motivation to be bought out? He probably wants a shot at the Cup in his final two years.

It's amazing how people misspell players names when the names are RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM

Since when do you need a players permission to buy them out?

It's Backes highly restrictive NTC, IMO makes it impossible to trade to Ottawa.

I agree, but getting traded to get bought out would be a way to get to a contender if Boston is gonna bury him or buy him out too

The buyout period is over for this season. Bury him? Yea that's an option thought it doesn't save Bruins any money. Only Backes knows if he would prefer one year in Ottawa or one year in Providence. His family might have the say. But by this post, which includes the 6m Backes the Bruins have 2.9m in cap space. Give McAvoy a raise of 1.5m to 7.5m you might get him for six years, though have to determine how long Miller and Moore are on LTIR.

Backes is not the same as Marleau. Not even close.

Marleau is the one with the very restrictive NTC. A Full NTC in which he said, he will not play for anyone but Tor or SJ.
Backes list is only 8 teams for this year, but switches to 15 next season.
The Bruins don't need the money like Toronto did/does. They moved out quite a bit and still might not have enough for Marner. The Bruins either already do, or can easily get there by moving what most would consider non-essential pieces (Miller, Moore, Halak) . They are not as desperate. Plain and simple. Evereyone knew Toronto needed to do something to protect themselves from Offer sheets. Not just Marner, but all of their RFA's - if Kapanen or Johnsson got offers for 4m (2nd rd pick comp.) It's 1.5m more than they spent on them.

Backes also isn't 40, he is 35. You and I might not think he can play anymore, but he might. No, the monetary savings for putting him in providence wouldn't really help the Bruins, but it would certainly motivate Backes, especially if he thinks he has another year or two left after his current contract. I can't imagine Riding buses and sleeping in Non NHL quality hotels is what he is looking for at this stage of his career. I am sure he would love the hour so drive to and from Providence every day.

There are plenty of teams who would have loved to have Marleau because of his leadership, problem is everyone knew his deal.

Also very important fact is the real money. Which is very important to some teams and owners.

OR the Bruins simply buy him out next season. it's not worth their picks, or young assets. They don't need to do it. They have enough money. If they don't. They could easily move some pieces and get something back in return.

I'm just going by all thees Bruins fans wanting to trade Backes. As I indicated Bruins don't need to move Backes this season for cap reasons. And even next year the 15 teams that he can be traded to is still very restrictive. Backes can list 15 teams easily that don't want him or have the cap for him. So Backes and Marleau trade restrictions are very similar. In Marleau's case he wanted to bought out because he was only going to paid 1.5m for playing next season. So a buyout(or a traded buyout) just might be about the Bruins only option for cap reasons next season.


If Marleau had remained a Leaf, the Leafs still could have traded Kadri of Nylander for example with no cap returned, Leafs didn't have to risk an offer sheet to their other RFAs.

Yes, they could have traded Kadri or Nylander with no Cap returned, but that is a mighty hit to take. I know Nylander didn't have a good year, and Kadri also was a bit down, but those are two very good players to take out of your lineup and not replace. If the Leafs lose Kadri and don't get Barrie and Kerfoot, I am not sure they are a wildcard team. That bottom six would be scary bad.

motivation to be bought out? what on earth are you talking about? a player doesn't get to decide if he's bought out. Anyhow Marleau had 1 year, 6.25 cap hit, 3.833 buyout cost. If Backes was traded today, his buyout cost would be 4 million. meh.
