That Tucker mention got me tripping down the buyout rabbithole and here's a funny bit of trivia If Lecavalier had not been bought out, this would have been the last year of his 11 year $7.5 million contract he got in 2009 Instead Tampa is still paying him ~$2 million a year until 2027

Cartoon Man posted:The KHL is hosed: Edit: Liiga is also pretty hosed, but they still have a week or so before they should start playing, so I can see them just postponing the season by a week or two, riding out their quarantines and then trying to put a very strict "Don't go anywhere except home and the rink" policy into place.

From the Athletic:quote:The Golden Knights’ current plan is to sign Lehner to a long-term contract, and what that means for Fleury is still up in the air. Fleury has a $7 million cap hit and a no-trade clause that allows him to list 10 teams he can’t be traded to.

He dedicated a lot of time to local groups in Pitt and LV, especially the latter in the wake of the 2017 shooting. Took a glance at his wiki, and he now has 3 kids between 1 and 6 years old, and jeez his wife was also his high school girlfriend. Pretty cool that their relationship is a rare case of that working out so well. I wonder if he'd consider retiring if the only other option was being traded to another city. Uncertainty about Covid will linger until he's 37+ years old, quarantining himself away from his kids next season would be awful, and he won rings and got paid.

Yeah it sucks as a Vegas fan, he's a great dude, been nothing but loyal, but it very much not up to being a 1a goalie any more and is paid too much to also pay a second goalie. I honestly hope they eat the cost of paying both of them, even if it's definitely not the right move for the team.

I've been a huge MAF fan since his time with the Pens, and I finally got a Fleury Knights jersey, so if he came to the Avs I'd bust a nut.

Scevs is a good guy, I'm sad to see him go. Always a threat on the PK, the guy always finds a spot to make a break for it. Didn't see that one coming so much, blah. Kinda funny how we've become the Penguins feeder team over the last few years, but it's always good to see our guys get that kind of opportunity.

Yeah I'm ok with this move if it means JJ is going but I know it won't mean that so bleh. Also I'll miss Hornqvist who was a big part of helping this team win two cups and who was an absolute fuckin' warrior. Yeah that's right, a warrior. Heatmaps don't explain a Hornqvist.

Heatmaps don't explain a Hornqvist. Hornqvist is rad and I think he'll easily keep having 20 goal (paced) seasons on a team that builds the powerplay around him/cycling the puck rather than rushing. Sure he's not much of a skater and he takes a beating but he's also stupidly fit so I think he'll play the contract out and a be a powerplay boon for the Panthers all the while and as much as I ragged on him for not being able to keep up with Crosby/Malkin anymore this is not the sort of return I'd wanted for him at all I'd have rather seen cap space sitting empty

Adding a lovely 30 year old 4th line player doesn't make this trade better at all what the gently caress.

Guys like Hornqvist seem to age ok. Holmstrom was good well into his 30s. So I'm sure Hornqvist will be a decent powerplay specialist that isn't a liability 5v5.
