ThinkTank posted:Even a trade of Johnson and a 1st for a 6th or something wouldn't be enough. The Lightning would've had to move out somewhere in the neighbourhood of $9m in real salary while taking none back to keep Kucherov on the roster. That means moving another player or not resigning one of Cirelli or Sregachev. They'd likely still have to move $3-4m more salary out on top of that to be able to sign three league minimum players as replacements. Sergachev and Cerelli would have got 1 year deals for 2 million less each, they would have waived McEhlinney, traded Blake Coleman etc. There's ways to trim 3-4 million. Kucherov first reported having pain December 3rd. He got a cortisone shot and the pain didn't stop. Its not some wild conspiracy. Again, I think you're putting way to much weight on a player willingly having that sort of hip surgery versus playing through it instead as no big deal.

Kucherov getting surgery is convenient but nowhere near the bullshit of Hossa getting allergic to his equipment the moment his contract took a nosedive in pay.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:They do have the money, T-Pegs just doesn’t want to pay it. Unfortunately Ralph has another year on his contract after this one so he will get paid another $3.9m whether he coaches or not. They also don’t really have anyone in the organization to be interim coach because they fired their legitimately good AHL coach after last season because they are dumb as poo poo idk Fair. Having and not wanting to spend is just as bad. Or possibly worse? Boudreau would be a fun pick. As the very least the team would have some structure, and they’d probably start having fun again. I’m pretty sure that Bruce just wants to coach again. It’s been 13 months since he got replaced in MN, and he just always seemed like he wants to breath hockey until he can’t anymore.

e: ^^^ Having and not wanting to spend is how you get more Ottawa Senators. The league would not survive having multiple Melnyks at the same time.Misanthrope posted:Speaking of the recapture penalty being entertaining and great, I can't wait for Shea Weber to retire early. Who is the one that will have (or had? maybe already retired?) like 5-6 teams paying for their retirement? It was pretty recent and I think Vancouver was one of the teams.

Any contract manipulation shenanigans that occur in the NHL are bush league to what NFL teams have been up to lately. Try reading up on the contract that New Orleans gave Taysom Hill, it'll make your head spin.

th3t00t posted:How is Ralph Kreuger still employed? I bet you if they played the Habs they'd win comfortably 4-1 with the most garbage goals and the Habs just taking 8 brain-dead minor penalties cause reasons so that they never once look in the game. Still maybe not since the Habs haven't looked that loving terrible since March which would normally be December in a regular season which is not usually one of the appalling months in a regular season for them but usually not one of the good ones either. The absolutely terrible months consistently seem to be November, March and April and the good ones tend to be October and February with special mention for October where they always look ready to take on the whole drat league before just eating all the poo poo in November like a switch gets flipped like the calendar page. Ottawa and Buffalo really do seem to be a special kind of bad in recent years though. Not gonna lie they kind of register as the same team to me somehow Kale fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Mar 17, 2021 |

I mean it's kind of obvious how Ovechkin scores all those goals. Get on the power play, get a pass just above the O-Zone face-off dot for the power up and so it messes with the opposing goalies AI and just wire it in. I'm pretty sure that shot just has hitscan too. Kale fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Mar 17, 2021 |

stab posted:And correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading that the potential recapture fucks over Nashville and not Montreal? Correct, Nashville got 4 years of Weber for 56 million dollars, but only had a cap hit of 31.4 million. So if he doesn't serve his time in Montreal they're on the hook for cheating the cap by 24.6 million.

Just checked capfriendly. Weber is only getting paid 1 mil per year for his last 3 seasons (with a 7.8 mil cap hit). So Nashville could get hit pretty hard for cashing on the early years at a big discount. It's all Philly's fault. Or Melnyk will pick him up if the "unparalleled success" plan falls through.
