Thread: Canes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Carolina rejected a Laine trade because Pesce was so invaluable. Why on EARTH would they protect Skjei or Bean over him?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>spockrock</b></div><div>The idea that CAR would trade or expose Pesce, their only long-term, signed RD, to Seattle is absurd.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nice try. But of course, no. Enjoy Brady Skjei after we win the cup. :)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>Is this guy still mad Aho’s offer sheet was matched cuz this is obviously a troll post</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OnlyBadDeals</b></div><div>Nah, everyone that doesn't watch the Canes regularly has no idea how valuable Pesce is.

They say Canes need to get rid of "tweener contracts" and Gardiner isn't the first one gone is a pretty big tell that they don't pay attention to Carolina</div></div>

Only trolls here are the ones who assume any ACGM that doesn't match their idea are trolling.

No one would want Gardiner, gonna have to wait, or buy that one out. I chose Pesce precisely because he has value. You can see I also assume Hamilton gets re-signed as well, so other comments out it being the the only RD are kinda misleading.

I dont watch Carolina super close, but I do know you can't keep all your good players forever, I do understand he is in all likelihood not going anywhere for the duration of his contract.
Canes have more and more signings to make though, and tough decisions come along with that. Could probably get more value for Pesce, but I didn't feel like going too in-depth since any Seattle trades on this board are 'CLEAR TROLLS' as well.

ALSO: Sure I liked the idea of Aho coming to MTL, but really we would just be even more screwed by the cap than we are at this point. He is good but not enough to redeem Montreal at the moment. Canes are the ones who got played on that exchange, my friend, by Aho.

Thread: Weber-Myers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheAlien</b></div><div>Does Van get faced with a recapture penalty if they acquire him tho? I know for Luongo both Florida and Vancouver were faced with a penalty</div></div>

I think how it works is that as the contract goes along they track "net cap benefit"(NCB), which is basically the difference between the player's actual salary, and the cap hit. So any year that a team is paying the player more than what their cap hit is; NCB is accrued. If they pay less than the cap hit, the total NCB starts to reduce.

Basically since the end of the 17-18 season, Weber has been getting paid 6M, which is ~1.8M less than his cap hit. His first year in montreal, though he made 12M, so NCB for MTL was around 4M after that season. After this season the NCB for Montreal, or any other team who acquired him, will be negative, and therefore no penalty for anyone but Nashville.

For Luongo, the first year that Florida acquired him they paid 6.7M and his cap hit was 4.5M due to some being retained by the nucks. so first year they gained 2.2M NCB, but second year he only got paid 3.4M, with a cap hit of 4.5M... so the NCB dropped 1.1M from that 2.2M mark. then he retired.

Thread: Senators
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>If Stützle is ready to play C next year, they would have no need to add a 2C this offseason. Stützle is an LW next year, so they probably don't need to target Coleman.

I know Ceci has found a role in Pittsburgh, but that doesn't mean Ottawa should be interested in bringing him back. Zub is <strong>miles</strong> better than him, and having him out of the top 4 is ridiculous.if they add a D this offseason they should look at someone like Zach Bogosian to play on the 3rd pair.</div></div>

Point taken on Zub, I am not in the Sens market so not quite as familiar with him at this point. I also re-jigged the forward lines with Stutzle at wing. I don't think Coleman hurts, but you are probably right, and the money <em>is</em> better spent at a later date. Both him and Granlund.
