Cap overages do, but up to the cap they count towards this year. I'm just marveling at how bad that cap situation is.

Wouldn't mind him in Vancouver at that price but just glad to see him still playing. Having a guy like that around will probably blow Johnny Hockey's mind. I'd only they could get iggy back too for the old guy retirement tour.

jagr is inhuman. i seriously dont know how it's even physically possible to play in a sport as physically demanding/punishing as hockey for as long as he has, let alone continue to perform.

Jagr is great and Calgary is in the right position to sign him, but drat, that's quite a bit of money for a 45-year-old even if it is Jagr.

I've spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out the Wings' cap situation in Armchair GM mode, and I still can't. Looking at this right now: https://capfriendly.com/teams/redwings

Send Jensen, Witkowski, and Sproul to the AHL. Jensen might get picked up by a team with cap space as a #7.
Keep Svechnikov and Rasmussen in the NHL.
Franzen to LTIR before the season.
Don't sign AA.
The team could still go over the cap from Larkin and Rasmussen's performance bonuses, even if they don't sign AA and Franzen's cap hit vanishes.
That's with 12F/6D/2G

Basically every player with any trade value has a NTC, except Zetterberg and Tatar and the guys on ELCs.

I don't find it hard to believe that he was asking for 5.5 million like he got last year (if he hit his bonuses, whatever they were).

I'm sure a bunch of teams wanted him for 2 million and he thought he'd rather go home and bang supermodels and play hockey in his hometown rink.

He's one season away from breaking the record for most games played in the NHL. Pretty sure he'd take what he can get.

Then ofcourse he'll gently caress off to Czechia for the celeb life afterwards.

Unless he wants to play for a contender or specifically says he isn't interested, I'm surprised some basement team hasn't offered him whatever he wants with the intention of moving him for futures at the deadline.

It's not like he'd take sub mil or anything, just that he'd probably take less than asking to break an over 35 year old record.

unless jagr can play center he's not really a player that fills any particular roster need for them. they've got a shitload of scoring wingers but no bottom six centers and not much cap space. as cool as it would be to have him back it doesn't really make sense for them

Yeah, Jagr should have already taken his victory lap for the Penguins a couple years ago, and it pretty much can't happen this year until the trade deadline and even then it would be a desperation move because of injuries or something.

I will say this, some April or October Jagr and Bonds should get their numbers retired as close together as possible.

Iginla has been making an argument that he's one of he worst players on the league these last two seasons. He can't play any kind of defence and he's not an offensive threat either.

A progression of:

Age 36: 61pts (55.4% of peak)
Age 37: 59 pts (53.6% of peak)
Age 38: 47 pts (42.7% of peak)
Age 39: 27 pts (24.5% of peak)

is fairly standard for a player of his age. Most players would recognize they were done after a season like Iginla just had though. Players playing beyond 38 are so rare that there isn't really enough data to suggest exactly how they would decline but it's sharp. Most players see the writing on the wall and skip town before they're a real shadow of their former selves. Even Gretzky was done at 37.

I get that Iginla wants to go out on a high and not part of the worst season by a team in modern history, but he's better off just letting go. I'm not even sure he'll be an effective contributor for Team Canada at the Olympics.

He was a guy who could only play on one side of the ice that year. It was bad.

Their new play-by-play guy is kinda boring. I miss Pete Weber.

That reminds that Steve Mears is the Pens PBP guy this year. I suspect he'll be pretty boring as well but boring is probably still an improvement over Steiggy, though I will miss Steiggy pissing everyone off who is unfortunate enough to watch the Pens feed.

I don't know about that, maybe Sweeney just forgot and could use a reminder.
