Thread: Lucic 3way buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DocArin0</b></div><div>If i am correct the values you put in the comment section is the value the team would be actually paying (Which does not change btw) the player still gets full value for his contract but the teams AAV per season even if the steps above i posted would never be below 1.5m/y</div></div>

Players do not get full value if bought out, players under 26 get 1/3 value and players over get 2/3 value. Teams buyout players to reduce AAV and save cap space

In the case of a retained contract being bought out each team would pay the percent they retain of the original salary. So Year 1 of Lucic's buyout is 3.6M, Oilers retained 50% therefore they pay 1.8M and take 1.8M caphit. Other teams pay 25% which is 900K and caphit of 900k

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>sorry dude every single one of these trades favors Edmonton. no where even close on the Russel, Hamilton and toffoli trades

you aren't going to put out the dumpster fire for free</div></div>

Not sure how you can say the all favour EDM with a straight face. None of the trades really make sense but they aren’t all in EDM favour. JP and pick for Lewis.. Lewis a 4th liner 20 point guy making 2M a year.

As for the other trades NYI are making the playoffs no reason for them to trade Filppula and Oilers likely sellers so no reason to lose a pick for a UFA. CAR trade would need a prospect added at minimum and for Sekera to show he can still play. Russell might get a 3rd if there’s retention on his 4M

Thread: Is sekera any good anymore

Comments like this are hilarious. Last year the Oilers were struggling around Xmas and had some injuries on defence so instead of letting Sekera properly recover from his knee injury they brought him started playing him 2-3 months before he was ready imo. He was wearing a knee brace that reduced his mobility so much he couldn't compete in the NHL. All you need to do is look at his splits from last year and see he was returning into NHL form by the end of the season.

DEC, JAN, FEB. 21 Games 2 points and -14
MAR 15 games 6 points and -1
Worlds 7 games 3 points and -3

What does this mean? Well, Sekera still has potential and we will find out starting next week if he can handle NHL pace after his conditioning stint (in which all reports are saying he has looks fairly good)
