Thread: Wings fan here

Gourde would be interesting but I highly doubt he waives a full NTC to go to the Jets.

Winnipeg is a great city but imagine moving from Florida to Winnipeg for the winter season :p

Thread: I think Carolina Picks Askorov

I wonder if he goes Top 10. Some team might feel they have a chance to get the next Vasilevky/Gibson/Hellebuyck.

Eliotte Friedman said NJ might think about it but with Blackwood I'm not sure

Thread: What if the Jets dont rush things and keep Laine

How patient can you be when Mark Scheifele & Connor Hellebuyck have 4 years left on their contracts? Their next ones won't be cheap and Schiefele won't be in his prime anymore. Just some food for thought.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Adin Hill (1 Year / $800,000 AAV)

If this ends up being confirmed as a one-way contract, you have to think the Yotes are going to trade one of their goalies away.

Thread: Another one

Cap will be flat next season and the Jets need to re-sign Pionk, Laine and at least one of Copp & Lowry. Taking on Eriksson makes that impossible imo

Very creative Boychuk trade, interesting take on it I haven't seen before.

Thread: Vegas chooses Lehner Avs easy cup

This strikes me as an overpay for a 35 year old goalie on a $7 million/year contract, especially when Vegas is in a cap crunch regardless of their goalie situation. You give up a young roster player, first round pick, and much cheaper replacement goalie who is younger and has good stats as a starter.

Also I doubt Barrie goes back, the latest I have heard from reporters is that Colorado were actually thrilled to be able to trade him away and get the return they did. Plus if he does come back, it won't be on the top pair, on his off-side, with a partner who won't cover for his defensive deficiencies.

Also Burakovsky is an RFA and is more likely to be brought back than Namestikov

Thread: Los Angeles Kings signed Carl Grundström (2 Years / $725,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rebecca</b></div><div>Teams must offer a 1y QA (basically their salary last season) in order to stake claim to an RFA. A player can accept the QA or, if team is willing, negotiate for a higher amount for the one season, or negotiate a multi-year deal. You often see players accept less per season than their QA for 2 or 3 year deals Rather than a 1y deal.</div></div>

You can renegotiate at a lower AAV at the NHL level on a 1 year deal too. For example, <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/players/nelson-nogier">Nelson Nogier's</a> 18/19 salary was 700k. His QO was 105% of that, but he signed for 700k at the NHL level for this past season because it got offered a higher AHL salary.

As a fan of a division rival, I agree. But Killorn has a 16 team no trade list, so the number of places he would realistically go is quite small.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenericUsername489</b></div><div>As far as I'm aware, the QO is what I would call a "soft minimum" because the player would be dumb to accept less than it for a single year but free agents can sign for any amount they want.

Correct. The QO keeps a player's rights, but after that you can sign any contract. Something you see with fringe prospects is that they sign a one year deal for league minimum at the NHL level that's below their QO, but the AHL salary is higher than their QO would be.

Tyler Myers is not a cap dump

Forum: Armchair-GMSep 1 at 2:06

Thread: TalkToMeBoltsFans

Who is willing to take on his cap hit with his age and injury history in a flat cap, without needing to give the Bolts back salary in exchange? None of the teams that have the space to do so are in a position to win, so they a) won't want him and b) he won't waive anyways to go to a rebuilding team.

As for the RFAs, who knows honestly. After Point signed that ridiculous bridge deal last summer I wouldn't put it past JBB to pull off another couple of contract steals.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TaiwanNumberOne</b></div><div>Why not $875,000 though?</div></div>

That was just temporary. $874,125 was his qualifying offer. The site has updated his contract with the correct verified numbers.

Thread: How much has each GM spent on average per day on player contracts since taking over?

Using data from here, I calculated how much each GM has spend on average per day on player contracts.

You can view the spreadsheet here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wv3Te_549LnfGL490PGJayA1Fi5xRMJ7UTt8fnYiBPM/edit#gid=2104646685" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wv3Te_549LnfGL490PGJayA1Fi5xRMJ7UTt8fnYiBPM/edit#gid=2104646685</a>

Thread: Replace the Senko

You don't accrue cap space if you use LTIR to remain cap compliant. So this team would need to make in-season moves (trades, sending players down, etc) to clear enough space for Tarasenko's return.

Thread: Willie for ellis

I don't think this gets Ellis. Also Winnipeg really needs Defence and a quality centre, so adding more $$ on the wings isn't something they'll be interested in

I love Tanev but I wouldn't touch that contract with a 10 foot pole.

I think the Jets need a more permanent solution at centre

Thread: Winnipeg 2020-21

That Stanley trade makes no sense. He's still considered a decent prospect with an NHL future.

Heinola & Samberg both do not make the team. Heinola did not have a good season in Finland. Samberg likely starts in the A but could earn a spot on the bottom paring. Heinola needs more development.

Yea, was hard to think of a decent 1 year option for the team. Cap Crunch coming next season so wary of signing a free agent to a longer deal (ie Dillon). Also don't see teams taking MP without giving salary back. Maybe Russell? EDM won't retain though

Leafs would have run 21 to start the year this season if there weren't injuries throughout the season. Their AHL team is in the same city, calling players up is easy when they're at home. Once they accumulate enough cap space for 22, they're good to go.

Thread: Pietrangelo to Maple Leafs

I think if you get Ryan Ellis there is zero need to sign Petro. Ellis can be your #1 RHD, and you can target/sign a cheaper 2nd pairing guy to give you more money for other depth in the lineup.
