a false posted:is nashville letting mike fisher walk. also is cbj letting sam gagner walk. i'd take either of them on a short deal I don't know if Fisher is retiring but I can't see him wanting to go anywhere else and the team would probably give him another year if he wanted.

Kruger is a lot cheaper than his cap hit for the next two seasons, surprised VGK only got a 5th for him. Edit: Colorado signed Yak City. Thufir fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jul 4, 2017 |

ThinkTank posted:The whole concept of a President role for a team that acts as more than just a PR guy is fairly new in the NHL. You have a few teams like Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver that have a President that seems to call the shots over a GM, but to what extent they're actually involved in decision making seems to depend on the team. As a general rule, I'd say that Presidents are closely involved in the overarching decision making but steer clear of the grunt work. So someone like Burke probably says "lets make a run at Hamonic" then Treliving undertakes the bulk of negotiation and paperwork. I think it it probably varies by team too. Nashville's president (and CEO) is a sports management guy, not at all a hockey guy, so I'm sure he has very little input on hockey ops aside from budget. edit: I guess Poile is "President of Hockey Operations" as well as GM.

Do all these lockout-proof contracts make a lockout more or less likely? Like, if they have to pay out half the league's salary in signing bonuses anyway, maybe it's not worth it?

Ligur posted:Are there underlying magic fansy and stat stuff I don't know about Arvidsson or doesn't it sound risky to sing a 24 year old who jumps from 16 points to 61 until he is 31 I love Arvi but I think the term is a little insane. Though the $ is probably fine even if he take a step back to the 40 point range. I'm mostly concerned about injuries because he always get the crap kicked out of him.

Some hockey writer on twitter was pointing out a while ago that the McDavid contract being so high was going to set the bar really high for 2nd-tier first liners, and Johansen was the first test of that.

CBJSprague24 posted:What they did to him was lovely and they should've at least given him one SCF game (or at least another playoff game because why the gently caress did Kelly Clarkson do one) (though, to be fair, he cracked the door and the parade of Nashville Recording ArtistsTM blew it the rest of the way open, so it's slightly on him) but didn't somebody in one of these threads say they had/have a rotating cast of anthem singers anyway? They didn't do anything to him and probably would have given him a game if he hadn't started bitching to the press before the WCF was over.

Zodijackylite posted:The cap recapture rule being applied retroactively is stupid. None of the players who signed these contracts expected to play the years they're getting paid $1m for. It's not punishing them though, it's punishing the teams that would otherwise have faced no consequences for cheating the cap. edit: If, instead of retiring, recapture makes these guys go on "LTIR" and collect a few extra million bucks, they're actually benefiting from it.

grack posted:The cap recapture penalties and the contract length limits were put in place to prevent teams from signing absurd, back-diving contracts in the future. I'm pretty sure that the NHL won't care if the players who are currently signed to those contracts just end up getting put on LTIR when they want to retire. The contract limits prevent the absurd backdiving contracts but the penalties are theoretically to deter GMs from potential future cap fuckery of other types. If the NHL allows obvious LTIR abuse to avoid that it would be allowing cap fuckery to escape the penalties for cap fuckery. Which, it's the NHL so they probably will but it's not like it's inconsequential.

grack posted:I meant for contracts signed prior to the latest CBA. I thought that would have been obvious. Yeah, me too. They should stick to the recapture penalties for those contracts so that GMs get the idea that if, in the future they come up with new and exciting ways to get around the cap, they might end up getting hosed in new and exciting ways if the rest of the league doesn't like it. Zodijackylite posted:
It's kind of brilliant in a way. They're not explicitly punishing them for something that was allowed at the time, which taking away a draft pick would have been. They're not hurting the players or pissing off the NHLPA by changing the terms of the contract. It wouldn't be an issue if they intended the contract to be active to its full term.

Koopa Kid posted:The league always had the power to just reject the backdiving contracts in the first place though, it's not like their hands were tied. I'm not sure they really did. They couldn't set strict contract limits without re-negotiating the CBA and a lot of the back-diving contracts sort of looked ok if you squinted at them right. Like, Crosby for 12 years at age 25, that seems vaguely reasonable. The NHLPA would have been appealing some of those rejections and they would have gone to arbitration or something. The Kovalchuk contract was just completely nuts enough that they had to reject it, and then that set sort of an unfortunately low standard. edit: I forgot that they sort of blessed all the post-Kovalchuk contracts https://www.nhl.com/news/kovy-deal-registered-as-nhl-nhlpa-reach-settlement/c-536524 Thufir fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Aug 22, 2017 |
