Thread: tkachuk fallout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Anaheim won't have trouble reaching the cap floor because the Boston guys are dying to send us Mike Reilly for a third and the St. Louis guys are dying to send us Marco Scandella for anything, but that trade stands on its own and I would accept that offer as the Anaheim GM.

As Colorado authority Richard88 has pointed out, Ethan Bear has some newly-acquired value because trading for him re-opens a team's buyout window. For example, Tampa Bay could pay their 2024 second for him and revisit that decision not to buy out Philippe Myers, thereby allowing them to keep their entire current roster without having to trade someone like Alex Killorn.</div></div>

thats an interesting twist... although tampa is maybe the only team who could benefit from that?

Thread: Rectifying Poor Decisions by Grier and How SJ Could Have Easily Won Free Agency
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>That's a valid point. But realistically, how much more would they command? Half a million to a million each? Another year on their deals each? That's still certainly very manageable if you ask me. I'd much rather slightly overpay for very good players at a higher cost (i.e. 4-5.5mil) than substantially overpay mediocre-at-best-to-straight-up-bad players at a lower cost (i.e. 2-3mil) which is what Grier did.</div></div>

i'm sure either the extra 0.5M$ or an extra year would do it
the danger is that they turn into another one of the sharks big contracts later...
it's a big risk, and probably makes them worse in the future, but if you really want to contend this year then it could work

Thread: Nashville Predators signed Nino Niederreiter (2 Years / $4,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IconicHawk</b></div><div>Why does Polie not want to rebuild, their championship window has been shut for almost a half decade now</div></div>

a few possibilities... 1. he doesnt think he will be around to see the team win a cup in 10 years if they rebuild, 2. with the team having been sold recently, old ownership might have wanted to keep the sale price high with the team competing for playoff spots, and new ownership might want revenue to stay high rather than tanking, 3. with josi's nmc and contracts like duchene and johansen being hard to dump, that's 25M a year in cap they cant really move, so they wouldnt be bad enough to get a bedard-type lotto pick, and wouldn't be able to totally clear payroll long term with those contracts...

in the end though, they can probably generate more revenue being the last wild card every year rather than going thru an embarassing tank for 5 years and getting 2 cups, and revenue motivates ownership to mandate things on gm's
