Thread: Hoffman more than possible

...perhaaaaaps this is just an instance of you not actually knowing what words mean? Maybe you're thinking of the word "plausible" - that might almost give your argument some sense of a point. But I didn't say it was plausible. I said it was more than possible to fit him under the cap -which it is, because I showed it on paper with numbers and the isles carrying 23 players during a season where most teams are expected to keep 21. I think most logical English speaking people would agree to that.

But seriously - after all that, that's your comeback? Weak post bud, hope you can do a little better next time

Thread: Hoffman more than possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Says the guy who’s saying that a big contract going on LTIR, barzal signing a low ball deal, and Hoffman settling on NYI is more than possible. Sounds like you live on a different planet buddy, hows the weather there?</div></div>

Lmao god you're not too bright are you. I'm gonna do my best and spell this out for you one last time in case you have a couple of working brain cells floating around in there somewhere. I'm saying it's possible to run a full 23 man roster (not a requirement!) under the cap if Ladd LTIRs. 100% possible - I literally showed it. There's numbers next to the player's names, you add them up, the final number is under 81.5M - that's how this site works. You'd think you understood that after more than 15,000 posts but apparently not... so here goes nothing!

-Big contract going on LTIR, small contract going on LTIR... doesn't matter if the guy can't skate. Ladd's knees are totally spent - he is not expected to be able to pass a physical at this point. Like I said before, the Boychuk thing was somewhat a surprise - this one wouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has any clue who Andrew Ladd actually is.

- This is not a lowball for Barzal - literally every reputable news outlet has projected for a bridge deal between 6.5-7M - around what Braden Point got when the cap wasn't flat. If you wanna go out on your own and say "Barzal is getting 10M because I say so", be my guest - but understand you're contradicting literally every piece of journalism on the subject post flat-cap announcement. Ryan Pulock came out after he signed his deal and said he and Barzal were taking discounts to keep the core together - you know more than him too?

- Yeah, who knows what team he's going to settle upon - certainly not any of us! Something tells me he could have some interest in playing on a team that went to the ECF, with a brand new state of the art practice facility, and (if Ladd LTIRs - which, in case you're still missing, is the entire premise of this entire post) can pay him more than just about any other contending team in the league - not to mention they have a pretty good coach!

Any more questions/concerns?

361K in cap space, a second miracle LTIR, a miracle contract for barzal, and you’re saying it’s more than possible? Yeesh.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>That Barzal contract for Barzal isn’t a “miracle contract.” I do agree that it’s highly unlikely Ladd also goes on LTIR tho</div></div>

there are rumblings on HF from people who know Ladd personally that he does not expect to play this year - poke around the Isles board long enough and you'll find the posters (and their credentials). Dude has played 30 NHL games in the last two years - it's not a "miracle LTIR" either, it's an old beat up player on a team run by a GM who has a long history of putting old beat up players on LTIR

As for the 300k in cap space, send one of the healthy scratches down if that's not enough room for you. I also made a point of paying Hoffman at the most I can see him realistically getting in this climate - as well as Greene. Point was just to show we have room to carry 23 and not go cheap on anyone if Ladd LTIRs

Thread: Just Lou It Part V - The Final Frontier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rja40</b></div><div>I agree with <a href="/users/palhal" target="_blank">@palhal</a>. I think you have to start at $7,000,000. The dude likely wins a comeback award and is a finalist for the Vezina. Kap and Drouin certainly improve the team if that happened.</div></div>

To be totally honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the Isles don't even sign him. The Isles system is conducive to boosting goalie stats as they allow a bunch of low percentage shots. They have Greiss already signed who put up very similar numbers - I could see them signing another backup type goalie to a 1 year deal, and then having a clean slate for Sorokin the year after (when his KHL contract ends). I love Lehner, but at the end of the day this is a business and 10M + is a tough number to have tied up in goaltenders
