Thread: Aggressive offseason for Stan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petrock83</b></div><div>No thank you to Connolly and Skinner. Just keep Saad and Caggiula and put them in instead. Keep Murphy as well in case Boqvist isn't ready for the NHL, and even if he is that defensive core still looks lacking in actual defense.</div></div>
Saad is overpaid for his production. Connolly gives the same production at a lower cap hit. Skinner is a dynamic goal scorer
that could become even better when playing with Kane. With the defense, I agree with you that Boqvist may not be ready to handle that workload, but I also don’t know how to substantially improve the D-core with Keith, Seabs, Gus, Joki, Dahlstrom, and Koekkoek already taking up 6 spots in this scenario. I’d be hesitant to trade Gus unless the package was very favorable. I really think that improving the forward lines would make this team a better possession team and ultimately a better defensive team.

Thread: Dealing Seabs and utilizing the cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>i checked, and there is no cap benefit for the hawks in buying out marleau. and one more thing that we're all forgettting. he has a nmc and ntc. if he doesnt want to go, he doesnt go

Well according the 35-plus contract buyout rules and CapFriendly’s buyout tool, the Hawks would pay the actual 6.25 salary over two years, but the cap hit would be 6.25 for 2019-2020 and nothing for 2020-2021 as you can see in the buyout history chart if you click on the long-term outlook tab. Obviously, Marleau can decide that he doesn’t want to leave TOR, and this is a moot point. This trade only happens with the Hawks buying him out and Marleau waiving his NMC which allows him to go anywhere he wants. Buying him out also allows the Hawks to have an open roster spot to sign Dzingel.
