Thread: Just going to piss off everyone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I mean I know your test fitting and all but that package is more than what the Avs were willing to do for Eichel (supposedly). And the big thing here is you just crushed the center depth of this team. You have MacKinnon and then a bunch of question marks then Helm.</div></div>

Question marks? landy/Rant sharing Center got us a Cup. Granted Meyers is an all around question mark but Mac/Landy/Rant/Helm were all C for us to the cup. Milano supposedly is a C also so third line could end up with 2. And again totally understand your side of this. I don't want this. I don't like this but in the end. this is where the money could be leading. Big Ugh I know.

But again Hubby and Mac and Nuke on the same line with Landy and Rant plugging in. OMG how much fun could that be.

Thread: Avs away
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>Calgary declines. There are no tangible assets here. It's two cap dumps to accomodate Lindholm, a mid tier prospect and late round picks. Quality trumps quantity</div></div>

Calgary is getting:
1) A possible 2C - Newhook - 33 pts while playing part time and 3C. He is on the cusp. Colorado needs a 2C
2) Sam G - top 2 D at a bargain price of 5M over the long term. Worst case he is a 2D at a team friendly salary.
3) PP 3C at 3.5mil in JT
4) 2023 draft is stock full of talent. Even a bottom 1st is worth more then same in the last 2 drafts. Colorado got Barron a possible top 4 at the same level.
5) A 2nd. Again stock full of talent 2025.
6) 3rd - Every needs AHL player but again it's possible to get a Goalie or depth player.

By the way Screw Calgary "Depth" should not be mentioned when talking about Girard and Newhook.

Thread: Retool 24
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>No, Avs decline. This is an overpay and they can’t afford to re-sign him. You have $29M in cap space next summer, which sounds like a lot but you need to re-sign:
- MacKinnon - 10.5
- Miller 7
- Jarnkrok (or a player for a similar role) - No resign
- Meyers (RFA)
- Newhook (RFA) - 3.5(RFA money)
- Kaut (RFA) - 850K
- Byram (RFA)(again rfa money 4.5
- A starting goalie 3.5

Can work if the players take length vs up front money. Mac can go higher but he take the chance of leaving no room for support and he never sees another cup. When it comes down Miller can leave and yes it hurts but he is another landy player so around 7 can work. Goalies as seen so far should never get paid alot. I go with a cheaper solution.</div></div>

Thread: 1MoreWinAndSippingFromTheCup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jance</b></div><div>I don't have an issue with the value for value for Hardman and Compher, but that doesn't help the Hawks in any way. You're asking that the Hawks move a young player for an older player on a higher salary while the hawks are rebuilding. As you pointed out, that's a salary dump, and the only way the Hawks do that is if a pick or prospect comes along with Compher. The Hawks aren't going to help other teams out of their salary cap issues just to be nice. They're gonna want something in return for that.</div></div>

I don't disagree. If the AVS have to sweeten the pot it could happen. I chose hardman because he fit the profile. Compher bring certain positive factors to the Hawks. Intangibles. He is a bulldog, a glue guy. His cap hit is short lived but Avs can't afford the money for the time. If they dont' get hardman they get another just like him on another team.

Thread: How ridiculous is LV now LTIR freaks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spyeye</b></div><div>Apparently Sports writer agrees with me. They bought themselves 12Million in Cap relief and made the salary cap a joke...again.....TB is to blame but LV is just making it ridiculous. See evidence below:

"The Montreal Canadiens and Golden Knights combined for a fascinating trade on Thursday. The short version is that Evgenii Dadonov goes to the Canadiens in the trade, while Shea Weber‘s contract (LTIR-bound) buys the Golden Knights serious salary cap relief."</div></div>

"It’s easiest to see the logic of the Dadonov – Weber trade from the Golden Knights’ side.

Most pressingly, the Golden Knights get out of that $5M Dadonov salary cap hit.

They conceivably heighten their salary cap relief with Shea Weber’s contract. The 36-year-old’s cap hit is about $7.857M per year through 2025-26.

Put that cap hit on LTIR, and it’s almost $8M in space. So, really, this trade is kind of sort of a near-$13M salary cap swing for the Golden Knights.

Weber’s actual cost is also lower than his cap hit.

In 2022-23, he’s owed a $3M signing bonus (likely already paid) plus $1M in base salary. Over the following three seasons (2023-24 to 2025-26), Weber’s owed a $1M signing bonus plus $1M in base salary. It’s also possible that factors such as insurance might soften that already-manageable cost."

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>LTIR doesn't actually provide cap space. This was purely Montreal trying to get out of a long term deal that prevents them from gaining cap space and Vegas dumping Dadonov. If anything I think this may hurt Vegas</div></div>
