its gunna be super depressing when we cant pay to keep jokiharju, Boqust, Beaudin, Mitchell, or Krys because they will end up being "too rich for us" and we have to pay seabrook

because one or two of those guys will be that good, but we wont have the cap.

i hope the cap gets to like 90 mil within 3-5 years so its not an issue.

Too bad they can’t persuade Seabrook to retire as a player and get rid of his cap hit, then hire him in another position and somehow make it enticing enough for Seabrook to accept. You are so right, Sean.

I'm a little fuzzy how this applies to contracts that are not considered "recapture penalty" contracts, but wouldn't they be on the hook for every remaining year of his cap hit if he did retire? He'd have to go on LTIR to really no longer be a factor, but Seabs is a man with a lot of pride, I don't see that happening unless he's honestly broken.

his contract is just like Tavares: "buyout proof" and "Retire Proof". the only thing thats kind of saving it is the last two years of his contract is a M-NTC 5 teams then 10 team trade lists. but at that point with his age, cap hit, and probably production.... thats gunna be a hard move.

I think Hawks are banking on getting compliance buyouts in the next CBA in 2020 and using it on Seabrook.

Yikes... Stan, giving out those clauses like candy...

I don't see how they won't give teams the option for at least one, if not two, of those in the next CBA...
