Thread: No cap increase one amnesty buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Widowmaker</b></div><div>I hear ya, but what do we do with Lundqvist? And what does he do? He’s not a starter in this league anymore and nobody wants to pay his cap hit. At least this option cleanly gets his $8.5m cap hit off the books. Keeping him on the books and dumping Staal is a $2.8m difference and we still have 3 goalies. Staal is terrible, but there’s nobody in the system currently ready to play in the NHL at a playoff level either.</div></div>

Yeah I get ya. Thats why I said you also pay the 2nd to get someone who doesn't have someone to buyout to buy out Smith. In regards to the three goalie thing.... Yeah I have nothing. I just think that Lundy gets to dictate how this goes. He's been the backbone of this team for about 15 years I want to say (didn't literally check). Some of those teams were pretty damn good, some were borderline, but outside of the last two years, they were always at least competitive because of the King.

He may accept a compliance buyout as above, so he can go chase a cup as a 1B veteran behind a young guy (think Samsonov in Washington, or maybe Rittich in Calgary), but I think its his ball. Loyalty generally doesn't exist in sports, but if anyone has earned it...I think its him.

Thread: Compliance buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>Man you have serious issues. That have nothing to do with Carey Price. The only problem here is you always make terrible trade proposal that only benefit Colorado. This is the only thing that happen here. This have nothing to do with players age, the concern is that you have absolutely no understanding of trade value. Colorado are mainly advantages in all of your bullshat trade proposal and the team that trade the best players received most often trash can like Jost who hold value of a bordeline third line players.</div></div>

I am a Leafs fan and haven't made a Colorado post we've discussed on before... That was made by someone else. I've never made a Colorado post with a major trade before to my memory... Good try though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>What Carey Price have to do with That bullshat trade? We are talking about Anze Kopitar You have some big issues. The fact that this is a terrible trade is on you and no one else.</div></div>

What Carey Price has to do with this, is I had a conversation with you a month or two back and you didn't seem to understand that he is likely declining. Apparently the same thing here. You don't seem to understand that players get worse with age after a certain point. This isn't a trade for a 27 year old Kopitar. Its a trade for a 32 year old Kopitar.

LA should most certainly be looking to trade Kopitar and Doughty. Trading those two could literally finish there time in rebuild, and put them into growing young team.
