Quoting: CD282
That's silly. Nobody would be forced to buy him out. If the Oilers were stupid enough to make this trade, the Sens could turn around and trade Barrie for more assets. That's how the league works. Talk of a buyout is just ignoring reality.
ok you're the type of "you understand fast but we have to explain you for a very long time" lol
I am NOT saying Barrie would be bought out by the team that would intentionally acquire him
I am saying that IF Ottawa makes that stupid trade they would be forced to buy him out to NOT lose DeBrincat or Zub
As of now :
- 3 teams have a lot of cap space but they are in the middle of their rebuild and their young stars will start getting costly too
- 24 teams have 2M$ or LESS in cap space (20 less than a 1M$). Teams have to do a lot of gymnastics just to stay cap compliant
- only 5 teams have more than 2.5 M$ in cap space (but less than 5.3). One of these teams is the Ottawa Senators and I can tell you that they will be absolutely against the cap next season
- we have no idea what the cap will be next year, nothing is official. As of now it's $83,500,000 and pretty much all teams will be tight against the cap so we will see more good players like Pacioretty, Bjorkstrand or Burns DUMPED for basically nothing. Barrie will most likely not be a priority so it's not certain he will be moveable, despite how great you think he is
So you see, there is what we call CONTEXT in the real world and in the reality, the Sens are not acquiring Tyson Barrie, even for free (or that would just be another really stupid Dorion move)
The plan is to buyout Zaitsev, not to trade him for a player they don't need and who would be more expensive to buyout...
I would bet a lot that you still won't get it.
lol @sensfire, you really liked his post?
