Thread: handcuffed by Littles status
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Samberg and Heinola are going to give the 3rd pairing LD a run for their money as they both could make the roster. It really is unfortunate that wpg has to deal with essentially another Dustin byfuglien situation in terms of having to save sufficient cap space until wpg knows what little will do. I believe it is highly unlikely he will return to play but they can’t make any moves until they’re 100% sure. Jets would be better off signing Dillon and DeMelo, along with haula to patch some of their holes</div></div>

i think Chevy wants to get a little stronger on the back end and Tannev fits the bill maybe 1 year was to short a term but i think the money is close Dillon is a good signing but i kind of like Soucy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>Why would they take on a cap dump, lose a prospect, move down 2 spots for a 30 point RW though?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kedogs00</b></div><div>I agree, Sabres Pass</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>There's no enticement there to trade down 2 spots and give up our 2nd best forward prospect... Only way I'd see us moving down to Winnipeg's 10th is if you guys take on cap from us and return us a top 6 winger and a prospect</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzmets</b></div><div>I think you would need to take Pekar and Perrault out of the deal. Then wait until the Sabres are on the board. If there is not 1 player that have rated much higher than the rest then they make the deal. If there is then they pass and make their pick at 8</div></div>

this trade was because you get 2 that can play right now and still draft in the top 10 and allows Adams a chance to evaluate the prospects and not having to rush a player to the NHL like they did with Mittelstadt and who knows maybe actually make the playoffs

Thread: Cap Solution- reward good drafting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>battadan</b></div><div>i was using those as examples. UFA will always get paid above market. i don't see anyway around that. you didn't really address the question. do you like the framework of the idea? if not any solution you have?

i just hate that every hockey conversation starts, and mostly ends with how much a player is paid. it should be about how great of hockey players they are. Hossa for example. i don't care what his cap hit is, he was amazing to have on the hawks (i'm a hawk fan). if teams had a discount on their draft picks that free's up money to get difference makers in trade, or UFA. i'm jus tover the salary cap. it only helps 10-15 gm stay relevant.</div></div>

Hard cap keeps the SMALL market teams relevant. Thats the whole point of the salary cap, i think its 100% fine the way it is. I see no problems with the way the cap is structured. Hossa was a fantastic player. I loved hossa, wish he was a bruins instead of a hawk. But its a guaranteed contract, if you dont want a cap problem dont sign the player to a term that you cant live with. 5 years was too much for david backes. EVERYONE except i guess the bruins front office knew that. But again, they knew they were going to have cap problems when tavares matthews and nylander were signed for a combined almost 30m. add in marner wanting $$ and now almost half your team is making crazy money.
