I'd be happy with the Rangers signing Burmistrov to a 1 year show me deal e: Kevin Weekes apparently says the Devils put in a 7 year offer for Shattenkirk probably $7 mill per, NYR and Tampa put in 4 year deals for $6.5 to $7 mill per I'd be hugely surprised if Shattenkirk took a 4 year deal  Levitate fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jul 1, 2017 |

Rangers really gotta dump Staal somehow in the next 2 years...gonna be interesting when McDonagh is up for a contract and whether they fish or cut bait. Could end up with a lot of money tied up in that defense (McDonagh, Shattenkirk, Smith, Skjei all probably going for over $4 mill) and you can't be paying Staal $5.7 mill on the third pairing in that situation. I have a feeling they will be shipping out guys like Hayes within the next few years and hope someone like Andersson can come in sooner rather than later Gonna be interesting cap times but in the meantime i really like that top 4 and potentially the whole six if Staal can be moved

Teams were allowed to talk to player agents and "express interest" for a bit leading up to today. Supposedly they weren't supposed to get into exact numbers but poo poo seemed to happen anyways and i don't think the league cares

That Price contract is probably just keeping up with the % of cap hit that someone like Lundqvist had at the time he signed It's a poo poo ton of money though He's the best goalie when he's on his game but man he looked kind of off in the playoffs last year

lol I just looked at Dan Girardi's HERO chart and he doesn't even have a visible bar for shot suppression So bad e: ownthepuck only goes back to 2010-2011 but Staal's numbers take a big noticeable dive after he got that bad concussion from his brother that took forever to recover from.

When I loved in the D.C. Area and worked in DC lived in Virginia or Maryland the deal was you paid taxes based on where you lived not where you worked. Dunno if it's the same for athletes

glynnenstein posted:DC is in a special situation. It has agreements with MD and VA about taxes so that you only pay as a resident of either MD or VA unless you actually live in DC part-time. Most other places don't do that and there are different rules for different states and localities regarding non-resident and part-time resident taxes and some have special rules specifically regarding pro athletes. Yes this is what I was getting at, the DC area is weird like that but I don't really know how it applies to athletes. ThinkTank posted:Not every jurisdiction has a jock tax, but most do. It's quite complicated and at times on shaky legal grounds. Several journeymen have made extra money by filing their teammates' tax returns for them. Most athletes have a financial adviser and it's not difficult to write off a bunch of crap like TVs (for watching game tape) and hot tubs (for recuperation) as business expenses. Didn't most people figure out that Avery was either getting royally screwed somewhere along the lines or he was just plain being dumb because his interpretation of how much money they'd make isn't how it would work.

ThinkTank posted:Haha yup. In no universe does 95% of your income disappear before living expenses. Agent fees are capped at 3% in the NFL/NBA and should be around the same in the NHL. If he's pay's paying 25% in agent and money management fees, he's either being robbed or paying into a ponzi scheme. I mean the highest federal tax bracket is almost 40% and I guess state taxes depending on where you are could push that up close to 50% (looks like NY State taxes are like 8%) but yeah again I'd be surprised if most athletes are getting taxed on all of their earnings

Will be interesting to see how it pans out. He's also probably older than Pettersson

I think when you get to the playoffs, a coach's ability to adjust and not be too conservative can make a huge difference. Trotz seems to be a good coach who tends towards being conservative when things get tough. Good teams in the NHL now can punish you for being too conservative

Ginette Reno posted:Bylsma was the worst at adjustments. They would play stretch pass hockey to the death and if didn't work it was because the Pens didn't "get to their game". i mean I think it can be a tough thing, especially in game adjustments, because if you plan and practice for one thing and then have to try to change that on the fly it's not always easy. And also sometimes you don't want to change what you're doing just because another team is trying to get you to do so (at least IMO) So, it's a bit of analysis about what is happening and how to deal with it, but repeatedly beating your head against a wall p robably isnt a good idea

Because there's Terry O'Reilly going into the crowd, the Flyers fan going into the box to fight Tie Domi, and, while they don't make the overall list, I love Tortorella at the Flames dressing room and injured as gently caress Darcy Tucker going from the press box to rinkside to try and get at Cam Janssen after Janssen hit Kaberle. I don't think the Flyers fan "went into the box to fight Domi" so much as his fat rear end fell over the glass accidentally and then cowered on the ground

signing Andersson to an ELC is probably more or less a standard thing to help keep options open, but I'm not thinking they're expecting him to make the team. If he does, great, if he doesn't, he can go to the AHL or they can loan him back to Frolunda. Without a contract it's just Frolunda

Rangers signed their other 1st round pick, Filip Chytil Almost certainly will slide his contract for the 2 years they get with him since he was one of the youngest in the draft, but it'll be more a question of whether he goes back to the Czech league to play against men or goes to the CHL

a false posted:i'd like it if they could get him into one of the better euro leagues tbh. don't really love the idea of him going to the chl I might be mistaken but maybe he still has a contract with his Czech team? I don't mind him playing there again for a year but after that it might be worth moving to a different league with a higher talent level.

Zodijackylite posted:While Brassard was a bit unlucky, his boom in offense the previous two years also came from different deployment. His Corsi/Fenwick look great because he was shooting a lot - his 166 ES shots are by far a career high - but underlying that, he's both in a lesser role and declining a bit. His ES point totals were fairly consistent with his career totals, excepting two anomalies in the last two years. His last couple of seasons with the Rangers were also kind of outliers compared to the rest of his career. He had career years in his late 20's which is a bit odd and really seemed to stem from the fact that he and Zucc were awesome together
