Thread: Solving the ARI Money Issue
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JPM</b></div><div>Basically plus these contracts allow the owners to reach cap minimum with out paying much cash.</div></div>

Parise would probably waive his no trade but Suter will not. He is best buds with the owner of the Wild and is exactly where he wants to be. Value on your deal though is probably pretty good for the Wild although I think Suter is currently a better player than Ekman-Larsson. I suspect he will start to bounce back once he is in a new environment though.

I know most people on here hate this plan you laid out here. I on the other hand get the logic and see it as a viable plan for Arizona. Though I am certain Suter won't waive. Parise would if it means he plays and enjoys tax incentives.

Thread: Perry - Voracek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Not only that though, right now and for the remainder of the contract, i'd rather have Voracek. Perry will be 34 by the time he is healthy again. If you think he still has 30 goals seasons in him, I don't think your seeing where the NHL is going. Voracek is overpaid but for the most part he is still a pretty darn good player. Guy 1/2 year removed from a 85 point season ffs.....</div></div>

For sure.

As a Ducks fan, I've resigned myself to the fact that we'll have Perry/Kesler through the end of their contracts. While not ideal, if you look at the current team payroll structure, it's not the end of the world. A lot of really good contracts on that team keeping the younger core (Kase, Montour, Lindholm, Henrique, Rakell, Gibby, etc.), together through both of those deals.

Not a lot of flexibility when it comes to upgrading the team, but, if they're healthy (Which they definitely haven't been this year), they are a playoff team that would be tough to play against. Unfortunately they've been torn apart by injuries all year and just haven't been able to stay as competitive as they should be. I could also see one of Kesler/Perry spending the last year of their contract on LTIR, as they're both pretty beaten up at this point of their careers.

Thread: Goalies will determine the Off-Season/Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JPM</b></div><div>That’s not the figure that Stolie and Lyon actually get paid their both on two way contracts. This means that their probably making something near 80K not 800K. The values you indicated would be if they played full time in the NHL, which Lyon hasn’t but the amount he takes home will probably be bigger than it would be because he has dressed for so many games as the backup. On top of this Stolie has not played a game since the middle of last season which means he’ll be lucky to get the same contract he has. Hexy has proven that he likes to be cheap on contracts when he can, ie ghost only got 4.5 mil a yr for 6 yrs. Stoalie not playing for most of the season means he’s not likely to get a raise and would be lucky to get a similar salary, especially when you consider he’s a bigger guy, with recurring knee injuries, it’s been proven that this tends to not go away and may get worse. So to recap pretty much any one way contract that Stoalie or Lyon signs is a huge raise because this means they will be paid the full amount at least 650K not their AHL salaries. With the other signings I ask you to consider that Laughton had a similar situation to Martel, Hagg, and Morin except he had more NHL experience than all 3 put together and look how Hexy handled his contract situation. Hexy gave Laughton a very team friendly deal, which would be less than you have Hagg, Martel and Morin making. While maybe Hagg gets a better deal, I don’t see Hexy paying Morin and Martel that given they lack NHL experience and he signed Laughton who had a full season the year before his contact expired in the NHL ( I think he played 73 games but you can check that). All I’m saying is the past shows how Hexy handles young players in their contract years and none of the players you have resigned should be making that much money. Hagg would be the only one that you have a good argument to say that Hexy pays much more than the deal he gave laughton. Even Weal had a lot more experience when he was resigned as compared to Morin and Martel. I do really like Frost but you again have to consider Hak and Hexy and how they handle younger players and their track record says that 95% of the time they will send the player down.</div></div>

I'm not opposed to them signing for less. I'm not in Hexy's head nor am I was going ballpark. I am aware of the AHL money being less for players, you just run the risk of someone maybe paying a little more for them. I'm not 100% sure how the RFA works, but I am assuming it is similar to the NFL, you can match the deal. I was more or less going with signing who I was signing knowing that I had lots of cap room and nothing to worry about short term (3 year deals don't cripple the team and they are easy to move considering the low number of the cap). I can see how you say I am high, but I don't think I am that high on each of them, let's agree on that. Thanks for the fair criticism.

Thread: Simmons to Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JPM</b></div><div>I may have misspoke to say Sanheim is a low tier prospect but my point is Chychurn is already a regular NHLer who was drafted in the top ten and compared to Ekblad saying he could play right out of juniors. By contrast Sanheim has been riding the pine after playing a few seasons in the AHL; and while I agree Hak is an idiot, other NHL teams will see a player who even if the coach didn’t like him wasn’t good enough to beat out MacDonald and Manning for a bottom line spot. Going forward I would say Sanheim has potential to be a top 4 Dman just by what he’s done. He’s not as physical as Hagg and his work in the zone/ defensively has been spotty at times. Chychurn averages over 20 mins of Time on the Ice already. It’s like saying you would trade Provy for Sanheim. And even if your saying the ceiling on Chychurn is equal to the ceiling on Sanheim (which I doubt), Chychurn is already more developed. The other element of the trade is a pure salary dump of Lehtera. This means that your saying Sanheim is worth Chychurn and enough to pay a guy who should be scratched every game, even if we’re paying him 4.7 mil. It won’t work for Arizona.</div></div>

Sanheim was absolutely good enough to beat out MacDonald and Manning. We just have a really stupid coach who doesn't see it. He should be in our top 4 playing with Gudas. Also Sanheim only played one season in the AHL. Chychrun was drafted 16th after he fell for some reason not top 10.
