My guess is there are more significant moves coming for the Senators. Probably taking on bad contracts to get a ton of assets.

Canucks will include Eriksson in that trade to help you reach the floor and you can even keep the 2nd!

LE is only owed $1 million this year but has a cap hit $6 million. Melnyk would love it!

Probably have to pay all those guys more than 4 AAV to keep them in OTT

Johnny Boychuk, 4m salary 6m cap hit and Steen 3.5m salary and 5.75m cap hits coming in for you

[MTL] Alzner (9.3M cap over 2 years, 6.5M actual)

[VAN] Ericsson (12M cap over 2 years, 8M actual)

[VAN] Roussell (6M over 2 years, 4.4M actual)

[VAN] Beagle (6M over 2 years, 4.4M actual)

[NYR] Smith (4.3M over 1 year, 3.3M actual)

[EDM] Russell (4M over 1 year, 2.5M actual)

[BUF] Okposo (18M over 3 years, 14M actual)

[NYI] Komarov (6M over 2 years, 4.5M actual)

[NYI] Ladd (16.5M over 3, 12M actual)

[NYI] Boychuck (12M over 2 years, 8M actual)

[STL] Steen (5.75M over 1 year, 3.5M actual)

[CGY] Lucic (18M over 3, 13M actual)

But he wouldn't love paying $4m next year.

Yeah but will Dorion actually charge a reasonable (read: high) amount for taking one or two of those guys? I would love to add a decent young LD roster player + 2021 1st this offseason somehow.

John Moore and Nick Ritchie are available. $2.25M and you don't even have to give anything, think about it

now which ones have trade protection

And which ones have this years bonus already paid before a trade.

Bonuses were due Sept. 1 weren’t they? Pretty sure only Arizona missed their payments, it woulda been a lot bigger deal if any other team did as well

Thanks. So that changes the actual money values left on some of those contracts @PLDGEY posted, does it not?

It might. For example off the top of my head I’m pretty sure Boychuck has 5.25mil remaining (1.25mil base per year + 2.75mil bonus next year)

Kyle turris come on down

Just saw that on reddit a couple weeks ago in a discussion about potential contract targets. The list is not reflective of bonuses, merely the actual cash associated with the last years of the contracts

Okay, but the bonuses already paid out reflect the actual cash associated with the last years of the contact.

1. I didnt make the list

2. The bonuses are still associated, just already paid.

Eriksson has a signing bonus of 3 mil this yr. His actual salary after that is 1 mil for this season. He's owe 4 mil next so you at looking more at 12 mil against the cap 5 mil actual salary over two yrs.

he does have a 15 team M-NTC...he could have Ottawa on it. All depends on what Eriksson wants and is cool with going to a rebuilding team.

For sure and one wrinkle is that the AHL season likely won't happen so the threat of sending him there isn't real. He is probably happy to stay in Van sit on his ass and collect his checques.
