Sujet: Dubas Likely To Be Aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>you don't know what that contract says, and there have been other coaches who got both.
Making up as you go is just too funny. Like every report on him is the same... don't want to pay him while not here.
If it was soooo easy that it just went away if he coached somewhere else, than they wouldn't give a rats ass. But they do, so there goes that theory.

It amazes me that you think the front office is looking at this right now and wouldn't move on. They know, the players know, the fan base knows....it's time to move on.
But them having to pay him is the only thing saving him right now. Otherwise, they would let him talk to other teams and get him out the door.</div></div>

You're wrong (again). NHL coaching contracts are designed to designate the role the coach has. So if he were fired he would still be with the team just in a different role. Unless he takes a different org. position in which case the contract is terminated.

Sujet: Dubas Likely To Be Aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>that's one way over simplification of the situation.
There are reports all around about Sully getting shipped out.
Dubas holds his rights. They need Sully to waive the contract out as they don't want to pay 5.5 mil for the next 3 years for a guy coaching another team.
If they could simply trade him and that contract he'd be gone.
I think it's pretty clear what is going on in PIT right now. The whole coaching staff is out the door.
They already cleared out WBS. They are going to not extend the assistant coaches. Guess who is next?
This in the media noise is just how they work out canceling that 3 year deal.
If he doesn't waive they threaten to keep him for the next 3 years. Which doesn't work for anyone because they are sure to make his life hell. They might even demote him back down to WBS if they can.
It's clear there are issues here. It's not that Dubas doesn't sound interested in letting him go. It's that he doesn't sound interested in paying him for the next 3 years.
When Sully agrees to waive that contract they will move him out. The question is will Sully agree to do that. The answer to that is probably more dependent on the future contract he will get. Some are saying up to 7mil per on a deal. That would be interesting as he might be willing to waive the contract for that. Unless he thinks the penguins will let him go anyway and then he'll collect 5.5 on top of that 7 mil.
It's just a matter of showing him that isn't going to happen and he has to waive.</div></div>

Sullivan can't be paid his extension contract AND another coaching contract. Accepting another contract voids the extension. So there is no restriction on Dubas terminating him and still paying Sullivan to coach another team.

Sujet: Bridging Seider
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rednwhite</b></div><div>Quinn Hughes signed a 7.8x6 a few years back and had better offensive numbers than Seider. Sure Seider's defensive game is more refined but putting up points gets you paid in the league. Two years from July 1 Hughes will be able to sign an extension. He will be looking at 12m+ on an 8 year deals on his next deal, probably wouldn't be able to get that kind of money and term if he had to wait another two years and hit UFA in his 30s. From a player perspective the point is cashing in on 2 huge deals and taking the bigger deal later in your contract when the cap has went up and your a better player instead of early in your career and having to settle for a 5-6 year term later on.</div></div>

Hughes is a LD which gets paid less than RD to begin with and only played 119 games. Seider is at 246 with harder deployment. Hughes also signed at 9.63% cap and that figure would put Seider at $8.44m/yr. You're not close.
