Thread: Garbage Man Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan5699</b></div><div>Correct me if I'm wrong, but Macgarthur isnt costing them in cap space, but they still are paying him $4.65 mil annually as he is owed right? Although your insured contract point does sound familiar...

The point I was trying to make was moreso OTT cutting actual cost + salary cap because of their budgeted circumstances.

On your # 5 pick point.

So in this scenario, and most, MTL takes Tkachuk at #3 because he's a center(also why I got Zadina at 4), so ARI would be choosing from Boqvist, Bouchard, Hughes, Wahlstrom, Kotkaniemi, etc. if they didn't trade the pick.

Thanks for your comment!</div></div>

There might be very few contracts that are not fully insured in the league. Clowe of NJ was just 80% insured Horton's when he was signed by Columbus had his completed uninsured. Leafs traded Clarkson who playing at the time and took Horton just to say cap space. Horton will cost the Leafs 27.5m out of pocket when it's finished into two years. The only real disadvantage of an LTIR player and it doesn't happen in all cases, it MAY affect a teams ability WHEN they pay their performance bonuses. That's it.

You're right it is an interesting scenario for the # 3 or the Tzachuk selection. Phoenix picking at # 5 might like a quasi hometown boy, Tzachuk....if it means anything. Anyway we'll know if 15 years who made the right selection.

Thread: Dubinsky back to NYR?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan5699</b></div><div>Wow really?

I figured since he's got the higher cap hit Dubi would have the higher hit, but I guess not.

I think the trade could help both team tbh.

Rangers need Centers and CBJ needs a Defender. Torts liked Staal when he was with NYR so I'm sure he'd put in a good word.

I'd love to see this trade go down!</div></div>

it wouldn't be cheaper per se, but for DUBI, it would be a straight 1,950,000 Per year, even if they wait a year, then its 4 years at 1.95 Mill.
Because of Staal's bonus money (3 Million) &amp; Cap recovery factor on his deal, (his salary is LESS then the AAV for the last 3 years so that get's evened out in real cash) Dubi looks like a better buyout in June or even waiting a year.
