Thread: LOC goes home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RFS_90</b></div><div>It’s not that bury-able… maybe they throw him on waivers, and hope he gets picked up… Moving him could free up at least $200K. It also allows them to carry only one extra players and accrue cap space by using waiver ineligible players to fill in for injuries.

It’s hard to justify a nearly $1M virtually unplayable player with the cap situation the Avs have.</div></div>

What is a Buried Contract?
Teams do not receive full cap relief when a player on a one-way NHL contract is reassigned to the American Hockey League, or is loaned to a team in another professional league.
The players salary cap hit, minus the sum of the minimum NHL salary for the respective season and $375,000, still counts towards the team’s salary cap total.
The cap hit relief is therefore equal to the minimum salary of the respective season + $375,000:
2014-15: $550,000 + $375,000 = $925,000
2015-16: $575,000 + $375,000 = $950,000
2016-17: $575,000 + $375,000 = $950,000
2017-18: $650,000 + $375,000 = $1,025,000
2018-19: $650,000 + $375,000 = $1,025,000
2019-20: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000
2020-21: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000
2021-22: $750,000 + $375,000 = $1,125,000
2022-23: $750,000 + $375,000 = $1,125,000
2023-24: $775,000 + $375,000 = $1,150,000
2024-25: $775,000 + $375,000 = $1,150,000
2025-26: $775,000 + $375,000 = $1,150,000

Provided a player makes less than 1.15 million, you can send them to the AHL by placing them on waivers and have their full contract off the NHL teams cap. MacDermis makes less than 1.15 million, so if he is assigned to the Eagles, his full cap hit comes off the Avs roster.

Thread: Depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RFS_90</b></div><div>I might. I'm really on the fence between those two. Toews is a much better defender, but Girard has a much better contract.</div></div>

Appreciate the response.

Yeah that's why I was curious. The cap situation makes it a bit interesting. Do you take the not as good guy who's signed longer to a more team friendly deal - or do you keep the better guy knowing you might not be able to afford his raise next offseason? Tough decisions. And until they start signing people in the offseason, specifically Bowen, it's hard to know what kind of space they're working with.

As for the trade itself - if it's for Toews I'm definitely taking it. Obviously. As for Girard, that's a tough one. POJ showed good promise this past season and that 5mil might be better used elsewhere. But if the Pens free up that space by buying out Granlund or something like that I could see them accepting

Thread: What the Jets should be doing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>smrtguy90</b></div><div>a) CowSaysMoo is a top 10 UN on this site... so, congrats.

b) Without naming Ehlers or 10 OA, what would you think moves the needle?</div></div>

Unfortunately, I don’t see the Wild and Jets being good trading partners. The Wild need a top-6 C when the Jets themselves need a 2C. And there is no way they are moving Scheifele. While I think Roslovic is a good player, he is not a sure fire center. The Wild need to hit with this trade and get exactly what they want. Even if that means adding on top of Dumba to get it. He is the only piece left on the roster that is moveable and can get the Wild what they need without blowing a hole.

Thanks for the name compliment. It was my old gamertag on Xbox360. Had to keep the legacy going.
