Thread: A new concept on contract signings and cap hit.
Right now the Nhl takes the AAV of contracts, but allows team and players to front or back load contracts. I wonder what a rule would look like if instead contracts are based by yearly payouts. The Nhl would just need a rule were the contract can only have a 10%, either higher or lower, from the previous year.

So today's contract of a 7 year for $49 million is a straight up $7 million AAV cap hit.

But what if he could be broken down as:
Year 1=$10 or $4
2=$9 or $5
3=$8 or $6
4=$7 or $7
5=$6 or $8
6=$5 or $9
7=$4 or $10

Wouldn't Nhl owners/managers like the different cap hits. For rebuilding teams they can frontload the contracts to reach the floor and than when they're ready to compete the cap hit would be lower, or contending teams can backload contracts to stay competitive now and worry about the raises later.

Obviously a loophole would be what to do about trading of those contracts. I guess the clear solutions is that this type of contracts can only to be for NMC and will never be traded.

Thread: should domi stay or go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>difficult at best, with no 7th dman, just 30k in cap and some marginal underpayments.

Even small differences/realities ruin the cap:

Benoit is a RFA with rights, so 900k is too light
Toffoli and Domi are probably both in line for more than whats offered above, especially on long term deals
Liljegren is about right IMO, but doubt he signs for 4 yrs

ANd that goaltending looks like a cheapening out and ignored at best</div></div>

Toffoli isn't really needed, as the Leafs have enough forward depth, I just signed him for the fun fact that he has almost played for every Canadian city in his career.

So that's $5 million to split on a $3 million 4-5th Dmen and $1.5 million for a proven backup goalie.

Thread: Paying for 4 major pieces The Vegas way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>He was fighting a groin injury for 15/20 games he's played this season and the two times he went on IR were not related to each other, so no, we wouldn't consider that to have diminished his trade value whatsoever, since everyone knows what he's capable of, and he has no prior injury history.

And again, we already have equivalent pieces in our system, multiple of them, so how are those pieces "helping us win"? Iorio is bottom 4 upside, we have Helleson and Warren and Luneau, not to mention the possibility of signing Ian Moore. You've said yourself Trying is a shot in the dark, and those picks don't yield top 6 players, the get you middle 6 if you're lucky.

It makes zero sense for Anaheim to take a quantity return in any hypothetical Zegras trade, it's a blue chip piece to base the trade around, or Zegras stays in Anaheim.</div></div>

Ana has serious holes on their roster, now if the Ducks see McTavish and Carlsson as their 1-2 punch down the middle, Zegras is the trade bait. I guess it depends if the Duck like to see McTavish on LW.

Even than, I see Zegras as more of a "me" player than a "we" player.

Thread: why not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>Kulak is much better at his role than Ceci and costs 750k less, move on from him instead

Broberg isn't an NHL level player

We need a better back-up than Pickard if we wanna compete in the playoffs

Keep Brown, he'll resign for cheap anyways and he's effective on the PK. He's a good 4th liner to have

Kane isn't gonna sign here, he'll probably retire as a red wing

Campbell's buyout is actually very good, no reason to dump him

I'd like to see an upgrade over Ceci in the top-4 honestly, someone like Carrier to play with Nurse. Also instead of Kane I love the idea of Jake Debrusk, him and Boston seem to be done and he would probably love to play in Edmonton.</div></div>

I thought of DeBrusk but wanted to find a RH RW'er, but yea, P. Kane doesn't want to go to Canadian team, just surprised at looking at his stats, probably the best RW'er, other than Tarasenko (Reinhart will not reach UFA).

Kept Ceci over Kulak because of the whole RHD aspect.

I'd like to see a return of Talbot in goal, but he might be too expensive.
