Thread: Tampa defense in 2025-2026
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrestlingfan5</b></div><div>Possibly trade perbix and jeannot to resign dumba?</div></div>

Both Jeannot and Perbix need to be gone, but not so they can waste cap on Dumba, who is terrible. Tampa should be looking at a number of RD this summer if they make it to ufa. Any of Roy, DeMelo, Walker, Chatfield, maybe Carrier if they'll get over whatever bias they have on a dman under 6', and for older possible ufa's, Tanev perhaps on a shorter deal. If they look for more expensive it would be Pesce or Montour maybe, but they won't have that cap space available. DeMelo is the best target by far, as Tampa needs a good defensive RD. Roy and Chatfield would be the next top options(again maybe Tanev), that Tampa should also look at. They definitely need to add someone, but luckily, this summer is shaping up to be a good one for that position.

Thread: Is Rempe the new Boogieman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hckeydude123</b></div><div>The problem with that is if you continue to "gut" your bottom six every other year you won't have anything of value and you won't be very competitive shortly after. TBL only has a small handful of guys that have significant value to trade to keep this team going for years to come, guys like Stanmmer Point Kuch Cirelli Sergy Headman and maybe Cernak are the only guys they have they could actually get value for. All those guys are locked up long term except Headman and Stammer so if this team wants to be competitive 2 yrs from now than they are going to have to do something soon otherwise this team will hold out like CHI did without Kane and Towes and go into a super long depressing rebuild.</div></div>

That's an utterly delusional statement if you look at what this team has locked up long term. After this season Kucherov 3 more years
Hagel 8
Cirelli, Cernak, Sergachev 7
Point 6
Paul 5
Vasilevskiy 4
This is the core of a team that's not a rebuild especially with cap going up

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed Noah Hanifin (8 Years / $7,350,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>This contract is a pretty good example on how tax advantage is much smaller than most people think given his offer in CGY was for 7.5. Like yeah it totally exists but it isnt really anything to get antsy about and claim it to be a massive factor. 0.15M is roughly the gap.</div></div>

This doesn't make sense. The tax advantage is substantial and much more than $150k.

The difference for Hanifin each year making $7.35M in Vegas vs. Calgary is $640k take home:

Vegas (taxed at 38.9% from https://www.talent.com/tax-calculator?salary=7350000&amp;from=year&amp;region=Nevada): $7.35M -&gt; $4.49M take home
Calgary (taxed at 47.6% from https://ca.talent.com/tax-calculator?salary=7350000&amp;from=year&amp;region=Alberta): $7.35M -&gt; $3.85M take home

If Hanafin stays all 8 years in Vegas, the total take home difference between signing in Vegas vs. Calgary is $5.12M. This would mean Hanafin would have to play over 9 years in Calgary to take home the same earnings as he does in 8 years in Vegas.
