Ovi rules, he is the champion the cup deserves. Tavares re-signing with the Islanders is not going to be boring, because they're going to allow 300 goals.

Caps have 63.8m in cap hit, 10F 4D 2G signed next year. The cap is probably going to be around 78m. This gives them 14m to re-sign Carlson, Wilson, 1F+1D, and spares. Carlson gets 7-8m for 8 years. He has no reason to go anywhere else, and the organization would be foolish to let him walk. They need another swing at it next year. Wilson had a good playoff performance with 15 points, scored a career high 35 in the regular season, but did so playing with all-stars. He's going to get paid for his reputation, probably 3-4m, but they should definitely be careful not to create an albatross here. Kempny was good in the playoffs, but ultimately he's replaceable. They should have room, since he shouldn't cost too much. DSP is this year's Brian Bickell. Great playoffs, good guy, but much more than 1m would be laughably bad, especially if they're losing one of the above guys in the resulting cap crunch. Bowey likely gets his QO, and Boyd get a two-way deal. There's your spares. Seems entirely possible, as long as they don't get stupid and pay the depth guys and not the big guys, especially Carlson.

Spring Break My Heart posted:Friedman seems to think the Oilers can move Lucic in some non cap dump type trade. Oilers will have paid him nearly half of the value of his deal as of July 1, so while his cap hit is 6m, his actual salary averages out to 4.5m. While he is obviously a declining power forward at an age where guys tend to drop off, I could imagine a hockey trade with some salary retention. I don't think it's a good idea and get flashbacks to Kevin Stevens as a Ranger (among others) but if you ignore the contract and the tendency of 30+ power forwards to decline hard, there's some numbers that make it sound less unappealing. He shot at half his career average last year - 6.8% vs 13.7%, or 14.6 as a Bruin and 16.1 as a King. His PDO was a bit low, at 98.4, while he's 101.5 for his career. His possession numbers are still positive, and he's only two years removed from an outstanding 59% CF and +4.2% CF rel on the Kings. On the other hand, he spent 174:54 on the power play with McDavid and Draisitl this year and only scored 3g 4a, which is a major red flag but probably for the whole Oilers team and not just him, because that put him 4th on the team in PPTOI and PPP. His career-high 12 PPG the year before were likely as much of a McDavid-driven aberration as Letestu's 11. At this point in his career, I think a hockey trade requires some salary retention to put him in a secondary scoring role, where he fits. 33% retained would mean a 3m salary, which is probably about right for a 15g 20a guy. At 2.25m salary (3m cap hit) that contract would even be manageable in a few years. Age/term/player type make it a hard sell, though.

I think the OEL contract is a comparable and the Caps can squeeze that, but asking for 10m+ would bring Carlson somewhere that he'd never contend for another cup.

Slappy Pappy posted:What’s overpaying? I’d say anything more than $3.5m. I guarantee no GMs consider him a dime-a-dozen player. Money or term could both pose problems. Compare to Shaw's 3.9x6 and Beleskey's 3.8x5 and realize that both of those guys have scored more than Tom Wilson. That's what they're at risk for doing, with the possibility of Wilson reverting to a bad bottom six player who scores 20 or fewer points when he isn't on a line with elite forwards. He's definitely one of those intangibles/glue guys, and there's a chance that this was his breakout season at age 23 (which is normal) and he's actually going to be a 20/20 player, but that's not a certainty. He's also pretty close to UFA because he's been in the NHL for five years already, so they can't even give him another two-year prove-it contract. Chris Kreider's 2.475x2 contract at age 23 after a 37-point year would be a good comparable if the Caps hadn't started Wilson so young and bridged him for two years already. Still, similar numbers and intimidating "more than numbers" players. I would say anything over 3m and 3 years is too much. Zodijackylite fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jun 15, 2018 |

I don't get it. They traded for a guy who is a year younger and they hope can be as good as the guy they're giving up, who also plays center, which is the position they need. Also, the guy they acquired doesn't score goals.

While the Coyotes haven't succeeded yet, Chayka is doing a good job of building a team in Arizona. Take a look at the team he took over, where he has since turned over his top six forwards. He managed to trade for a good starting goalie and established #1/2 centers. https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/ARI/2016.html

I honestly don’t know - I’m not Canadian and I pretty much just listen to him and Boomer on Sirius XM. It's more that the Habs have a long history of running good players out of town with stupid narratives, and this feels a lot like the PK Subban trade. The same guy also thinks Andrew Shaw plays the right way, and he sucks.

CBJSprague24 posted:Oh man, they're the escrow team now and don't even know it. Lower end/younger first line winger with a more favorable contract, a 1st, and a good prospect. He's the kind of guy a team gives up some good pieces of their future to upgrade to. I could see a team like Tampa giving up a forward not named Stamkos/Kucherov/Point, plus the futures. Being able to spread elite talent across more lines is the way to win right now.

ROR for Pacioretty straight up would be a good trade for the Habs if they had anyone else who could score goals. Habs need a natural center, ROR is 2+ years younger and signed for five years. Patches turns 30 in November, on the last year of his contract, and is coming off a career-low year. Avoiding a UFA contract on the wrong side of 30 is probably a good idea. Dumb idea to trade 3OA, though.

1) Carlson signed for exactly what we expected. He earned it, and can't be hated for the contract because they won a cup. 2) Anything crazy happening with Tavares would be very entertaining. 3) Riley Nash benefited greatly from playing on a good, deep team. Players of his caliber come around in free agency every year and sign 1-2 year contracts. I can't imagine a 4-year deal at any AAV would be a good idea.

Bruins have ~12m in cap space and 10F/7D/1G signed. Their only RFA is Sean Kuraly, who likely gets no more than his QO. They have 11m+ for Tavares and a backup goalie.

DSP seems like a cool guy but he's unlikely to repeat his playoff feat, and he's likely to score 7 goals during the regular season again. Caps would be better served by giving a rookie a shot, or picking up a free agent winger who has more upside.
