Still better than Umberger

I would be open to bringing Hartnell back to the Flyera under 2 conditions

1. Weal signs elsewhere
2. Only a 1 or 2 year deal on the cheap

He can replace SOME of the lost PP production without Schenn, and it would just be a cheap bridge deal until the younger guys come in and play at the PP1 level

He also seems to really be able to get under the skins of the Penguins which is cool

Other than that No Way Jose

E: It also wouldn't hurt if they found a way to ditch Lehtera because obvious reasons

nah cap space is cumulative that's why they're always saying that some team has like $10 mill in cap space at the trade deadline

Not really, the cap is actually calculated daily. Teams can never exceed the daily limit, but you can sorta "bank" extra money you don't spend for the future. The daily limit is the maximum cap ($75M) divided by the days in the season (~185). So teams can pay players around $400k a day during the season. It's calculated that way to account for players being called up and sent down, injuries and trades. That way you're only ever paying for what you actually get out the team rather than the theoretical maximum of their salary. That's why you see teams with $85M payrolls under a $70M cap by the end of the season (because they didn't actually pay the players they picked up at the deadline or put on LTIR the full amount of their contracts).

So at the deadline a team may have $2M is banked space, which means they could add a player with an annual salary of around $6M because they'd only have to pay the remaining third of his contract.

I found this old (2010ish) explanation on capgeek kinda helpful.

quote:

To understand how each team's cap count is calculated, think of a bank account. For the 2009-10 season, teams got a "deposit" of about $294,300 each day which they can spend on player salaries [$56,800,000 salary cap upper limit / 193 days in the season]. The difference left over is "payroll room," or the amount that has been "banked" for the future, if needed. "Payroll room" can never fall below zero, meaning teams can't borrow from the future to pay for today.

You can't buyout during the season, but this make some sense. Cap space is cumulative, so rather than spending to the cap now Chia is giving himself a bit of freedom to make a move at the deadline. $2M today can mean adding $6ish of salary at the deadline. That's a good player as opposed to a depth guy.

yeah but the ducks with 5MM in current cap space have 25MM in deadline cap space. short of being the hawks you are going to be able to add whatever you want at the deadline, capwise.

not sure why they didn't buy out fayne, 1 year left on his deal meant a shorter buyout term with only 300k? difference and pouliot had fairly consistent 30 point seasons before this year

Because buying out Fayne when we have the cap space this upcoming season and likely won't have cap space the season after is absolutely stupid, seeing as how that'd be even more dead cap going into 2018-19.

They don't have aot of depth in the right side of their defense, and again they already had about 4 million in cap space factoring in max bonuses and Draisaitl getting around 8 million.

Bonuses come off the following year's cap so that's not an issue for 2017-18. The Oilers actually have a bunch more cap space than I thought with $18M left and only Drai left to sign. Assuming he gets $8Mish they're in good shape. That's kind of an odd decision, but I guess this is a wait and see/opening up a slot for a rookie thing? Maybe Chia has a big UFA contract lined up. That seems silly considering they'll be in cap hell next season.

It's the oilers saying they want the cap space now, not me. I was pointing out that fayne only has 1 year remaining and buying him out turns into similar savings now with 2 years of a buyout instead of 4.

Bonuses can roll over to the following year or get booked the current year if you have room. Considering McDavid mega bucks start 18-19, they might want to leave enough room to pay it off this year or at least give themselves the option.

It amuses me to no end that the oilers managed to pick first overall half a dozen times in a row then proceeded to trade half those top picks away for nothing and still manage to find their way into cap hell so quickly. Runner-up gm of the year, fo sho.

Plus they'll really be in trouble when they're in danger of missing the playoffs next season and sell the future at the deadline.


E: obviously not the Connor Leon future, but the lesser future. What I'm saying is they suck.

Yeah that was a weird rear end moving considering they'll be paying Pouliot for 4 years instead of two or one if they'd waited a single year to buy him out. Here's hoping Chia has decided to regurgitate a heaping helping of money into Karl Alzner's mouth like a mother bird feeding the cuckoo in its nest.
