Fair price on Markstrom

You know if you sign and trade Hanifin with retention you’d be paying half his salary for the next 8 years right?

What I meant was retained 50% of his expiring Contract

Let me fix that

You know retention doesn't carry over to multiple contracts, right?

Leafs decline

Retention Is only for the expiring contract.. Not the newly signed and trade

I understand that. That's what I was saying, it wouldn't carry over to the new contract

Markstrom has two more seasons after this one, dude.

It carries over to contract extensions. So if you sign Hanifin, you own his rights for the next 9 years. Then, if you trade him with 50% retention, you will be retaining for the duration of those 9 years. That’s why Hampus Lindholm didn’t sign his new contract with Boston for a day. Because if he signed it while still on anaheim, Anaheim would have been responsible for 50% of it when they traded him with 50% retention

It does

Retention applies to entire contract at time of trade (same % to earth year of remaining term at time of deal). An extension done prior to trade would be considered part of that contract (it’s not a new contract, it’s an extension to existing contract). Examples:

-- If Hanifin extends tomorrow, then traded next week, the % retained to count towards all years including extension.

-- If Hanifin does not sign extension, is traded with 50% retention, that applies to 2023-24 only.

-- If Markstrom is traded with 25% retention, that means 25% for remaining 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-25.

To retain one year, you’d have to trade him as pure rental before March 8th, then anytime between March 8th and July 1st, he would be eligible to sign 8-year term while with new team.

“Something brewing between these two teams” ….is there something new, in last 24 hours? Is this round 3?

I haven’t seen anything, but I haven’t looked in last day either. Last I saw was the LeBrun report that said they may talk again, but Fitzy had started engaging with a couple of other teams about goalies.

actually in the NHL is is a new contract, because when they introduced the salary cap they also put in a rule about renegotiating contracts, also there is a rule stating contracts are a maximum of 8 years. We may call them extensions, but based on teh CBA they are new contracts.

Not sure what this meant. I think some words were cut out.

If one has an extension, and is traded with retention, that % applies to current contract and extension. For that, I am sure.

Extensions in the NHL are not actually extensions. They are new contracts, because the CBA does not allow the renegotiation of contracts and an extension would be a renegotiation of both term and dollars. There is a reason this very site lists so called extensions as new contracts and lists the date the new contract was signed.

You are 100% wrong.

THE HANIFIN EXTETENSION I WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS HIS EXPIRING CONTRACT
