No team is retaining 5 million for 4 years, doesn't matter who the player is

Forum: Armchair-GMSun. at 2:07 p.m.

Holloway is better suited on the wing. And this trade is rough for Edmonton...

Forum: Armchair-GMSun. at 2:03 p.m.

This is ridiculous. If this is what they could get back for Chychrun then they simply wouldn't trade Chychrun. He's a great player on a bargain contract for multiple seasons after this one. Arizona has stated that they're okay keeping Chychrun if they don't find the right deal. This is not even close to the right deal

Thread: Cap Nightmare

Cap is expected to be 83.5 million next season. There's one more season of escrow paybacks where the cap is expected to grow only 1 million. Both Gary Bettman and Bill Daley have said that the salary cap is only expected to take a sizeable jump in the 2024-25 season. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/bill-daly-believes-nhl-salary-cap-could-rise-significantly-after-2023-24-season/sn-amp/

Thread: A take I am likely to be roasted on

The Wild spent the whole summer dumping salary to make cap space. They just gave away a decent dman away for free because he made over 2 million. They didn't do all that just so they could add kerfoot and lose the cap space they just gained

Thread: Resignings galore

Salary cap is projected to be 83.5 million in 2023-24. From everything the NHL has said, we've got one more year of the 1 million cap increases, then in 2024-25 or 25-26 escrow debt will be paid off and the cap will start taking big jumps again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>T0R</b></div><div>This is next season please read the description</div></div>

I'm aware. The cap is only going up by 1 million next season. It won't be until 2024 that cap space will be less valuable

Thread: Puljujarvi

Oilers are trying to get rid of cap not add it. That trade makes no sense.

Also the Wild just gave away a 2 million dollar 3rd pairing dman for free, they're not trying to add one

Thread: How much is Muzzin worth if he returns to form

Probably nothing unfortunately. We've seen how valuable cap space is right now, with the cap having been so stagnant these past seasons. If he returns to form maybe one of the few teams with cap left would give up a 4th or a 3rd for him

Thread: If we cant cap dump

I'm scared that this is Kenny's plan. If our farm team was closer maybe it could work, but I'd much prefer he finds a way to deal someone like Foegle so we can have another guy up with the team

Thread: Are the Oilers Top Contenders With Moves With this Roster Like I think

Ken Holland has already stated that he plans on running the team with a 21 or 22 man roster, you've got a 24 man roster here

Thread: Taking a risk for 1st Overall in 2023

If we've learned anything about the Blackhawks this summer, it's that they don't want 23 year old elite forwards lol

Thread: Guessing MacKinnon next contract

I know Mackinnon said he'd take a discount, but that's a pretty sizeable discount. Tavares got 11 million in 2018 and that was considered a hometown discount. Mackinnon will be a 27 year old free agent who is top 3 at his position. I'm thinking a discount still starts at 13 or 14 million, but who knows

Thread: Elite potential

Even if Edmonton trades barrie they don't have the cap space for that. They've got RFAs to sign and they're in cap hell already.

Not to mention that Ken Holland would get fired for doing that trade...

Thread: UFAs who signed one year deals

I can't imagine Klingberg would be interested in having to fight with Dahlin for power play time. At least in Anaheim he's undoubtedly their best offensive minded dman and can put up a huge season before signing a big contract next year

Klef is already confirmed to not be playing this season. If he comes back next year his contract with the oilers would already be over anyways

Thread: Duclair or Hyman Pt2 Hyman

Hyman would be a great edition to any team, but he'll be in Edmonton a long time. Hyman put a lot of consideration into picking where he wanted to play and settle down with his family. He picked Edmonton and has a full NTC until 2026-2027. No chance that he waives that clause for anywhere, and the Oilers won't move him unless it's a crazy overpay. He's so valuable in the playoffs. Realistically even if Hyman didn't have the NTC it'd take a young elite goal scoring winger to pry him away from the oilers

Thread: keith retires

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>the recapture penalty goes to chicago. the formula suggests edmonton should have cap credit but the league says there is no such thing.</div></div>

I believe the NHL has already said that the cap recapture penalty would be shared by Chicago and Edmonton. Edmonton gets the smaller 3 million cap hit, and Chicago gets a much bigger one. It's been posted by several nhl news sites.

Similar to when Luongo retired and both Florida and Vancouver got recapture penalties. That's how it's worked in the past

EDIT: interesting, maybe the articles I read were wrong, it sounds like Edmonton wont get hit with any penalty!!! Woo Hoo!!!
