Thread: Abusing the CBO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>the NHLPA has a big part of the cap, they have the ability to inflate it based on their escrow amount. Right there just shows a major flaw in your thinking. Its not a 1 person dance with a CBO.

Its not happening, the CBO really is just a wet dream for cap strapped teams, I get it youre a hawks fan and you hope this happens to get out of that contract. But the league is not going to allow this and neither is the NHLPA.

The CBA is expiring in September 2020, they arent goign to amend it for a buyout now right before they need to extend it, they allow this CBA to run its course, and they will do whatever they have to do in the next one for the offseason of 2021 to deal with cap issues if anything</div></div>

BOTH the NHLPA and NHL owners agreed to not opt out. So...Not sure what you're talking about with the expiring CBA... That decision was made on September 1st 2019. So it's 2022. That's why an amendment is needed in the 1st place. AND the NHL gets the last say in the Cap Ceiling.

If you're opinion is that it won't happen. That's fine. It's just like to use facts and talk about how these things would affect each side. The FACT is...it's really is a win win. No team planned for this. AND if Sakic played his cards right...I would think COL could be the biggest winner of all. Melnyk isn't CBOing anyone. Not ever and certainly not Bobby Ryan. That's $9M he won't have to spend on Bobby Ryan AND AN ADDITIONAL $14.5M to replace his cap hit. This isn't an insurance policy like Callahan. COL is one of the FEW teams that doesn't really have any buyout candidates. I'd be willing to be ALOT that OTT would send over Shane Pinto and one of their 12,000 picks for COL to Pay $9M over 4 years and it would have zero affect on COL's cap too.

Thread: We just sent our best defenceman to the minors
Yes, It's the ugly side of tanking. I REALLY want to see him play for the Blackhawks night in and night out, but they still have Forsling/Gus/Dahlstrom/Slater that all need ice time. AND (3) of those guys are available for a trade. Heck, I'm almost thinking that Stan might part with Murphy if got the right price considering how well he's playing. Murphy...Right D, Right Shot, Stay at home...playing 65% in the Dzone…somehow the best +/- on the team with an actual "+" for a terrible team... those guys are gold right now. I don't think anyone on this site really values stay at home dmen as much as they should be. Just because they don't score shouldn't mean they're not valuable. blah blah blah, That's besides the point. I'll get off my soap box. Allow Henri to play 24+ min a game down there.

Thread: Nuge
I don't know why people keep on trying to throw Hossa into deals when Hossa doesn't handcuff Bowman at all......... Bowman CAN INDEED spend Hossa's cap hit this summer.. IF a team wants Hossa they're going to have to give up assets because Hossa is basically 4.275 coupon against the cap and that has value to a team....

I would want a 2nd round pick for Hossa at least..

<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq">https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq</a>

Can LTIR be used in the off-season?
Yes, LTIR can be used in the off-season while the 10% off-season cushion is active. LTIR in the off-season is calculated using the basic equation outlined above, which permits a team to exceed the off-season salary cap. To use off-season LTIR the team must provide doctors proof that the player in question will continue to be injured at the beginning of the regular season for 10 NHL games and 24 calendar days.

Basically, Bowman can spend Hossa's cap hit knowing that he will be placed on LTIR come the first day of the regular season..

So yea, no need to trade Hossa. But if a team wants him to circumvent the cap floor then I'm sure Bowman would want something of real value back..

Hossa is not a "cap dump"...

Thread: Moving Russia
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RamonDaze</b></div><div>For the life of me I'll never understand why anyone wants the Blackhawks to sign Patrick Sharp. He's clearly been on the decline the last few seasons and hasn't been healthy. At age 35 he's suddenly going to be able to play 82 games and score 25 goals again? I doubt it. At 1.5M he's not a bargain. He's an oft injured 3rd liner and not an improvement over whoever he's replacing. Besides that, based on the rumors from a few years ago he may not be a dear old friend to some Blackhawks.
Panarin was tied for 11th in scoring last season, and since he's been here Kane has won the Art Ross and finished tied with Crosby for 2nd. Panarin is not a player a team should trade. I'd much rather trade Panik to get under the cap. Trading Kruger &amp; Panik would move about 5.8M in salary which gets them under the $73M.</div></div>

Couldn't agree more .. Stop bringing ex Hawks back. We don't need Sharp, Oduya, Campbell etc back in the fold. This isn't 2010 or 2013. These guys are older, slower, beat up and can't keep up. I'd rather have a year of headaches watching the youngsters make mistakes but grow. I'd rather see Debrincat, Schmaltz, Hartman, Kero and Vinny 82 games next year then Patrick Sharp back in a Hawks uniform.
