Sujet: Making Stamkos a Lightning for life
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>stop listening to that pod - the CBA doesn't allow this.</div></div>

Because Stamkos is 34 before the 2024-25 season starts the 35+ CBA rule would not apply to him

What is a 35-plus contract?
A contract is designated a 35+ contract if the players age on the first year of the contract is 35 or older (as of June 30 prior to the year of the effective contract).

35+ contracts that are two years in length or longer and:
1. Have a signing bonus in the 2nd or later year, OR
2. Are front-loaded
Will not benefit from a reduced cap hit regardless of the players location of play, termination, retired status, or a buyout. This rule was introduced by the NHL to prevent teams from backloading contracts past when the player was expected to retire. An exception to this rule is that a team will receive a $100,000 cap hit reduction if the player is on the 2nd or later year of the contract and assigned to the minors

I copied and pasted this from this website so I assume this info is correct
So if this is correct then because Stamkos turns 35 in February, TB can sign him to the contract mentioned above and not be liable for the cap hit if he retires after 4 years.

I was watching a Habs podcast called The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro, and they interviewed the Lightning commentators (I forget what their names were).
Tony was asking about how TB could afford Stamkos and if they thought Stamkos would sign with Montreal to be with Martin St.Louis.
They said there is almost zero percent that Stamkos will leave TB.
What they suggest that will happen is that TB will sign Stamkos to an 8 year contract that is heavily front loaded.
So it essentially will look like this:
4 years at $10 million followed by 4 years at $1 million for a total of $44 million over 8 years, which would give a cap hit of $5.5 million per season.
So after Stamkos plays the first 4 years he would then be 39 years old and have collected $40 million of his $44 million.
Stamkos would then only have $4 million left owed to him over the next 4 years.
He would then retire and TB would be off the hook for the remaining 4 years of cap hit at $5.5 million.
Stamkos could then take some sort of office job and get paid the remaining $4 million but it won't count against TBs cap.

Sounds pretty sketchy but seems like something TB would do.

Sujet: Montreal Canadiens signed David Reinbacher (3 Years / $2,116,667 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Not_Isles5513</b></div><div>My issue with the signing is that they didn’t take Michov. It just seems like Hughes and Gorton has done everything they can to minimize the impact of their top picks. After all, the five guys taken immediately after Slafkovsky are all better than the former #1 overall pick. Then you have the Dach and Newhook trades where Montreal overpaid for non-premium talents. Franchise looks like a mess rn imo.</div></div>

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black!

How much did you guys pay for Romanov?
I don't follow the Islanders but are you telling me your team doesn't have any bad contracts?
And you know for a fact that the 5 picks taken after Slafkovsky are better based on what information? Do you have a crystal ball?

I'm sure your franchise isn't in a mess! Are they the favorites to win the cup this year? Are you even positive that they will even make the play-off this year?

Every team in the NHL has flaws, at least Habs fans know that we are in a rebuild and most have embraced that fact.

Sujet: (MTL/WSH) - Edmundson for 2024 3rd (MIN), 2024 7th (WSH)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>The difference being is that Mtl can move on with their new leadership group and didn’t need to pay to do it. I I saw a lot of ACGMs with a 4th or 5th to move on from Eddy which was also my argument that being a broker for said retained money was the same. A 3rd is best case scenario for salary retention. You take that and move on with a clean slate. There is no loss for Hughes and the Habs here. Eddy wasn’t this terrible hockey player because of his injury issues he was an unknown commodity and the Habs need to start moving bodies just like the Preds have done except Hughes actually got assets back here. Hoffman/Armia must be next.,</div></div>

I agree with you
But
I liked Eddy
and
I think he will be missed by his team mates and MSL
