Thread: Price and Weber Retire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Sure teams are supposed to be just 10% over the cap, but I'm guessing that is for active players. The had 5.25m Lupul and 5.25 on LTIR, that was 10.5m when the cap much lower. The Leafs still had signed players that played...andwherf very close to the cap for years.. Teams certainly aren't handcuffed by the cap if they have LTIR players

You're correct about the bonuses, when a team is able to pay them is affected by the usage of LTIR.

But here on CF. so many think short term LTIR or retirement is the fix to help a teams cap.</div></div>


That started for the Leafs in 16-17 and they only used 63,299 in LTIR they simply had a very cheap team that year. Then they used 5,763,198 in 17-18, so they never came close to the 10% LTIR cap.

Thread: Price and Weber Retire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>The description makes it sound like you think they’re retiring, rather than going on LTIR.

0% chance that happens. I think that would cost Price 31.25M, and Weber, 6M. They aren’t doing that. There is a chance that neither play again and spend the next four years on LTIR, but LTIR doesn’t exactly equate to “free cap space.” It can be used, so it is very useful, but it isn’t exactly the same.</div></div>

LTIRetirement will also not work for the Habs with both or even just Price. Since you can only be over the cap by 10% in the offseason (8.25 this year) you would have a team cap of about 72 million not 82.5 million if both wound up on LTIR. And that is before accounting for any bonuses from this year that will roll over.

Thread: my gm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>Not a big deal at all. Just said that I'm not using logic, and i'm wondering how its not a logical idea. That's all. I'm not necessarily right, and maybe that veteran presence isn't what the Wings or other younger teams go for. Just a hockey debate that's all, nobody has to agree. Purely for fun.</div></div>

Muzzin can not be moved before free agency shakes out. Ian Cole is a UFA will have a lower cap hit (more then likely), the same age, less injury concerns, and same type of physical presents on the back end. CAR is going to be hard pressed to resign him this offseason. Other names that come to mind if this is the impact you are looking for are Nutivaara, Zadorov, and Chiarot. Then there are the trade targets none are the same as Muzzin but offer some of the same things at a lot lower of a cost then this ask.

Thread: Ouffff
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Broberg and Yamamoto are 2 top pieces. Larkin is worth close to 3 1sts but not more. Maybe switch the 2nd to a 1st and probably would be what it would take</div></div>

Value wise it might be close, but look at the Red Wings organization, they are deep at both wing and defense and its biggest weakness is center depth and top end talent. In this trade you have them giving their only true top 6 center for pieces that add to their strength while also increasing the organizations biggest weakness.

If the Red Wings even consider a Larkin trade a true POTENTIAL top 6 center prospect is a must. Its the same problem I have looking at all the Ranger fans trades for Larkin, they maybe fair value wise, but they hurt the wings more by increasing the organizational weakness. The pick might turn into that but mid to late first is a bad bet to get a top notch center.

Thread: Pens trade Redwings and Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Again, in your opinion.</div></div>

Come on, at least try and look up something to backup what you are saying. Top 4 dman, really? He averages the 6th most minutes on the Pens and is a whole two minutes behind the next closest. The Pens do not see him as a top 4 guy and neither does the rest of the league. Its an bad offer for Bert and you know it. If the wings trade Bertuzzi it will be for a far better return than this.

Also have you seen the Red Wings prospect pool for wingers? Its Centers that the wings need far more depth or more importantly impact with. The deal offers nothing of what the wings stated goal of the off season is, the building of long term sustainable success.

Thread: If the Leafs are 1st Round Exits Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NazemKadri43</b></div><div>Have you seen the Leafs play without Nylander? We are 1-4 ever since he entered COVID protocols. I would still be hesitant to trade him for that package, but there will be a message sent to the room if we are eliminated again. I think Detroit underpays, but I was being generous</div></div>

No matter how good Nylander is, the Red Wings are in no position to trade multiple assets for one at this time. This is not an underpayment at all, its two players who in terms for production will outproduce Nylander alone along with an extra pick, while costing bit more cap. I don't think for a second the wings even think about this cause it runs counter to want Stevie Y wants which is a deep team with multiple options on offense vs a shallow team with high end talent.

Thread: Just a dumb random thought
If I'm recalling this correctly, the assumed value of draft picks takes years of data into consideration, not just that particular draft year. It changes year over year due to players producing at various levels. I think it's explained in the link itself.


I'm only operating on the pretense of a buyout for the sake of BStinson's math: I personally believe that Neal has enough value to warrant a middle-ground (ie: one year on the roster, two years bought out at $1.25M per) approach. Even over 4 years, $1.25M isn't that much, especially for the Wings, so I'm not sure what you mean by "too much for too long".[/quote]


Yes but it still based on past years, and unlike most years this years draft might be the ultimate crap shoot, with the lack of scouting that could be done, and the lack of playing time for the prospects. Dead money for the wings has to include Abby's hit as well.
