Ok ok

I know it's a very minor thing but I really don't want to move Lemieux. He's exactly what he lacked during our previous SC window

i like all the trades except the Tampa one, i dont think its enough

No chance Tampa accepts. Kravtsov isn’t even NHL ready.

tbh, it's a bit of an overpay.

Just think thats too much for Tony

Not when they instantly become your 2nd best center and top left handed defenseman.

NYR also takes a 3 Million dollar ding for 20/21 for Hanks Cap recapture penalty.
Dont see Gorton making moves this extreme in year 3 of the full rebuild. Since 20/21 signing bonuses have been paid, im thinking (i cant find a confirmation) that NMC's & NTC's have also kicked in, so Trouba isn't likely waving & they've given him an 8 million dollar check already for 20/21.

Kravstov's value just isn't here.

I am fan of neither team, but if NYR ask for Cirelli and Sergachev in same package, they better be ready to offer Kakko or Lafreniere.

Classic- a collection of unproven talent has more value than a top pairing defenseman and perennial Selke contender.

There is no recapture penalty on Hank retiring. The entire contract is wiped off the books.

He has paid 54 million of his 59.5 million dollar deal , the AAV is is 8.5, 8.5 x 6 = 51, so NYR would owe 3 million as a penalty for the deal exceeding the AAV for the duration of the deal. 54 divided by 6 = 9, so that meany NYR skirted the CAP by 500 K each year. (see Roberto Luango's deal)

The $3 mil hit is if he is bought out not retired though. He signed the deal before the age of 35 and those contracts are completely wiped if the player retires before the end of it. Look it up.

Sharks decline, need bargains, not Strome who is going to get a terrible contract.

Tampa would easily turn that down, they could trade them separately and get much better pieces.

Unless there was a change in the recently amended CBA this still holds true. His BUYOUT hit would be 5.5 for 20/21 & 1.5 for 21/22.

Retirement calculation
If anyone wants to read the rules, Article 50.5 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement deals with retirement. I will include it at the end of this article. In a nutshell, a team is liable for the difference between the full value of the contract minus the annual cap hit for however long the remainder of the term of the contract.

For Henrik Lundqvist, let’s assume he plays one more season. The formula is you take the full value of his contract paid out in the first six years, a total of $54 million. Then you calculate how much the annual cap hit was over those six years, a total of $51 million. Subtract the cap hit from the value of the contract and you come up with the cap hit for the final year of the contract, a total of $3 million.

The bottom line on a Lundqvist retirement is that it would result in a cap hit in 2020-21 of $3 million and then he would be off the books. That would be a savings of $5.5 million.

According to capfriendly.com, a buyout would result in a cap hit of $5.5 million in 2020-21 and $1.5 million in 2021-22. A buyout would save the team $3 million in year one and cost the team $1.5 million in year two.

He’s capturing the the retirement and capfriendly confirmed that his full contract is off the book if he retires no penalty

Now I thought that those were for the contracts that were front loaded from the old CBA.

The tentative collective bargaining agreement that the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association ironed out this week features a new wrinkle to the cap recapture penalty system, which was imposed after the 2012-13 lockout as a disincentive against player contracts including low-wage years tacked on to the end of big-dollar contracts to reduce the contract per-season cap hit.

I haven't seen this clause changed & its hurting Vancouver currently.


Article 50.5 -Upon that Player’s failure to play in the League by reason of retirement, “defection” from the NHL or otherwise (but not death) (such that he is not playing and is not receiving Salary pursuant to his Long-Term Contract) (assuming it is prior to the conclusion of the Long-Term Contract), the difference between the sum of the Actual Salary and Bonuses received by that Player under that SPC and the sum of the Averaged Amounts charged against the Club’s Averaged Club Salary under that SPC shall be calculated as follows:

(i) First, calculate the total Actual Salary and Bonuses paid to that Player under that SPC (“Total Payment”) until the date of such retirement, defection or otherwise (but not death);

(ii) Second, calculate the total Averaged Amount charged against the Club’s Averaged Club Salary for the Player under that SPC (“Total Cap Charge”) until the date of such retirement, defection or otherwise (but not death);

(iii) Subtract Total Cap Charge from Total Payment. That number shall be referred to as the “Cap Advantage Recapture.”

(iv) The Cap Advantage Recapture shall be charged against the Club’s Averaged Club Salary in equal proportions in each League Year over the remaining term of the SPC (i.e., the yearly charge shall be calculated by dividing the Cap Advantage Recapture by the number of seasons remaining under that SPC).

lol.

Big decline from the Sharks

There's not a ton of difference between Max Jones and Brendan Lemieux. If you like one, you'll like the other. Both big (Jones is 6-3 225lb, compared to 6-1 210 lb Lemieux) both fast, both have a good motor, both good at hitting.
