You can still send guys 21-23 down on game days then.

Not if you actually want them dressed! Right now you can bank cap space by demoting waiver-ineligible players on off days between game days that they dress for, which is stupid. I don't know if this also changes their salaries for players on two-way deals, which would obviously suck for the player.

pseudodragon posted:

Also if someone gets traded from a team that's played 62 games to a team that's played 59 does their cap/game change? Does it change their actual paycheque?

Salaries and cap hits are different. But for the former part, teams should have to accrue cap hits for the games they have the player, yes (and I think they do as is anyway).

I do think teams should get extra credit if they trade a guy like Mike Sillinger so many times he manages to play 90 games in one season, though.

This came up on the 32 Thoughts podcast this week, and it doesn’t change anything.

Zakhar Bardakov sounds like the name of a fictional player in an EA NHL game you pick in the 6th round.

I don't get why the Devils make that trade. In October sure it makes sense that maybe you think you need some muscle. But he's an expiring contract and not really somebody you want in your lineup if you're chasing a playoff spot this late in the season.

Flyers next 2 games are at home versus the Sens and Blues. Then poo poo gets difficult.

If they don't come away with 4 points, I think they're selling. I mean they might be selling anyway, but they're writing off the playoffs.

Tonight was also their 6th straight loss to a divisional opponent.

With the lack of difference-makers available I would genuinely like to see NJ dangle Toffoli and try to get a haul for him, but I doubt ownership wants to send the surrender signal to the players or the fan base after last year.

Yeah, I haven't seen much of them this season but going from like 20 points out of the playoffs to top of the league in a year feels like they're gonna come back to earth.

55 shots to 23 and you lose to a horrible team in a critical game. The season is over.

It's just shameful that this front office has sat back and watched this season play out with this level of underachievment and has done nothing.

Seems like a decent price? I don't even know anymore. Either way it'll be nice to have the speculation over.

Edit: Didn't see the price was also posted above. Whoops!

If I had to bet and put them into tiers I think I'd go Florida as the favorite, then whoever wins the Metro (probably Carolina or NYR), then Boston and Toronto, then everyone else. Boston banked a lot of points early in the season but "not having a real 1st or 2nd line center" is starting to catch up to them. They're basically held afloat by having the best goaltending tandem, Pastrnak, and McAvoy. Anything can happen in the playoffs though.
