My basic logic for the Andrew MacDonald buyout is pretty simple


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phil250684</b></div><div>
I have no idea where "your basic logic" come from when the talented prospects you speak of coming up are on ELC's, which are less than 1mil per player. Not really a staggering amount to make space for when you got other players coming to the end of there contracts that won't be resigned. ACTUAL BASIC LOGIC!!
You will end up with more than 23 players on the team before MacDonald contract is up and you can just send him down to the AHL to create a space and also get you 1mil in cap space for the ELC your bringing up.
Saves you 1.833333 for at least 2 seasons (21/22 22/23) when your more likely going to need it as the youngsters will be ready to compete for the cup and that cap can help with either there bridge deals or rounding out the team for a more competitive team for a cup run, rather than still paying that bum MacDonald nearly 2mil of cap space.
**"My basic logic"**


I never said or saying hexy should be fired but to answer your question, hexy's theory from day one has been look to the future and build through the draft. Paying MacDonald 1,833,333 until 22/23 goes against what he has preached from day one.</div></div></div></div>

Thread: possible outcome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phil250684</b></div><div> Can you explain your logic for wanting to buyout MacDonald? Yeah i want him off yhe team as much as anyone but, the only reason to do that is if your struggling for cap space and seeing as there's 5.7m space, what's the point having him on the books for 6 years? When the ELC have expired we will need that 1.3m cap in 2022 and 2023 to resign our prospects and going to need as much space as poss to keep the kids together and not trade them away like Chicago have had to do</div></div>

<strong>My basic logic</strong> for the Andrew MacDonald buyout is pretty simple.

With the talented prospects that are coming up, we will need to have reasonable salary cap space to retain all or most of them. MacDonald is on our books for the next four years. By that time, all of our defensive prospects' contracts will have expired, and most of our forward prospects will have expired. To be able to save 3.4mil to 3.9mil for the next three years, will be crucial to secure our prospects. By that time, Philadelphia will be a legit Stanley Cup contender and will have a late pick in the NHL Entry Draft. Most of the prospects will be under contract for most of those years were we have a negative savings of around -1.8mil, which, accompanied by a speculated rising cap, will be an insignificant amount of money on our books.

For example, lets say that the NHL Salary ceiling in 2022 is 80mil, about a 7mil increase from 2017. Theoretically speaking, our prospects of Myers, Provorov, Sanheim, Morin, Rubstov, Hagg, Hart, etc. will be under contract from that time. If they are not, then they will be free agents during the time in which we have a positive savings from the MacDonald buyout in 2017.

$10,730,001(Positive Savings) - $5,499,999(Negative Savings) = $5,230,002(Net)
or
$25,000,000 wasted on Andrew MacDonald for the next five years?

From 17/18 MacDonald will have 3yrs (not 5) left for a total of 15m (not 25m) cap hit over that time. We will not be scrapping to save cap for a few years yet meaning no need for a buyout. There will only be a max of 2 rookie dmen on the flyers next season, thats a total of less then 3mil when you add provorov to the ELC's that could make up for 50% of the defence.
Because of all the possible youngsters coming up over the next couple seasons the only time you need to consider buying out MacDonald is in his last year the 19/20 season when Provorov TK and Sanheim will be starting new contracts. Even then (and from next season) we can send him to the AHL and save 1mil in cap.
A much better scenario than having wasted cap in 22/23 when bridge deals could be coming to ends and cap need for that!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>First of all, please stop the-signing MDZ! Second, why the hell would we want Varlamov?</div></div>

First of all don't you think hexy would have traded MDZ at the deadline if he wasn't planning on bringing him back and also MDZ him self saying how much he loves it in philly, never been with such a close group of guys and how he wants to help bring on the kids. And second of all Varlamov is a good goalie yes he's had a bad year this year but hasn't Mason and neuvy, maybe they all need a change of scenery and his contract is only for 2yrs a good bridge till the kid goalies start to fight it out. And if Varlamov could get back to his play of only a couple years ago it would be a good move
AND THIRDLY WHY DON'T YOU TRY DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT OTHER THAN YOUR PATHETIC TEAMS 10 TIMES A WEEK WITH 99% THE SAME MOVES AS THE TEAM BEFORE THINKING THE MORE YOU DO IT THE MORE PEOPLE THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA!!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>*shakes head*

Stolarz and Laughton have played a combined 6 Games thus far this season making their contract length and AAV higher (it should be under 1mil and for 2 years max). Mason's cap it is too high for a goaltender who is inconsistent. Lindblom is not NHL ready yet despite what he has done in the SHL. Dallas is trying to get rid of a tender since they have Kari and Neimi so why would they take another one?</div></div>

If you think lindblom won't make the team you can't have seen him play this year. He has been the most dominant player in most games and lead his team when there star players been in a slump, if his teammates had kept pace with lindblom he would be top of the scorers table and have been the most productive and successful 20 year old in the league in recent history

Thread: STL TDL deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AK_tune</b></div><div>It's a good thought. The question is, should the Blues sacrifice a 1st RDP to solidify the goaltending situation for the remainder of the season? When they traded away Elliott, they committed all-in to Allen. It hasn't been the smoothest transition, but IMO the worst possible thing to do would be to add a 1B to the situation right now. As we saw this week, Allen is finding his game and is capable of being the outright starter on this team. Bringing in a new guy would shatter the confidence he's building.

The approach to this TDL and beyond is looking more and more like STL will sell, not buy. GM Armstrong has been outspoken about building for the future. I don't think this trade works.</div></div>

Thanks for the reply it's good to hear someone reject a proposal due to the direction the team is going and time frame and looking to a few years from now, rather than say it's a rubbish trade and not a chance of this happening, our player is better than yours etc. etc.
