Forum: Armchair-GM 9 nov à 15 h 49

Sujet: Cap Ammo

Ottawa missed a great opportunity to weaponize their capspace. I like the idea of picking up Fleury, retain some salary and then flipping him to a team (and Carolina needs a goalie!), but last I heard Nilsson is questionable, he still has issues with a concussion, so i doubt he has any trade value until he is able to return to play. Hogberg should be fine as a backup, and they have a few good goalie prospects coming.

Why they gave up anything to acquire Gudbrandson when they couldve likely gotten another asset/pick to take on a contract like Boychuk, Hjalmarsson,Demers etc. is dumbfounding.
Adding Eriksson (who is owed very little, and is fine on your 4th line) and getting another asset for nothing more than capspace (or a LTIR waste like Gaborik), should be a no brainer, although I doubt the Canucks are willing to move a 1st rounder to do it.

Sujet: Florida Panthers signed MacKenzie Weegar (3 Years / $3,250,000 AAV)

I swear 9 out of 10 deals posted here are met with overwhelming 'great deal/ total steal' comments. Kinda redundant- especially if its the same people posting the same bs every signing.
Especially when they qualify it with the tired 'well I had him at 4.5 for 6 years- so this is fantastic! ' newsflash- youre not the gm, and you probably cant even build a decent hockey pool team!
Im sure plenty of you loved when Lucic, Eriksson, Gudbrandson, Bobrovsky all signed their latest deals. How did that work out?

I vote only slightly positive overall- and most of that is due to all the minimum salary deals out there, where teams are only risking a roster spot.

Sujet: Ottawa Senators signed Christian Jaros (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

At this point in Ottawa, hes an injury call-up, but why Ottawa went out and gave up assets for Gudbrandson and Brown (and EG contract is punitive to move to put it mildly), when they had Jaros,Zub,Brannstrom etc in the pipeline, not to mention lots of better options than EG for much less money as UFA's is beyond me.

Sujet: Detroit Red Wings signed Tyler Bertuzzi (1 Year / $3,500,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wright87</b></div><div>Oh really? The money is running out? You are an absolute JOKE, dumb dumb dumb & dumber.</div></div>

Really? resorting to insults for stating that the money is running out? Cap space is running out for many teams, still a few decent players without contracts that are now scrambling for paychecks. The chances for the situation to be better next year- are slim, but the chances of being much worse- are pretty high. Still no idea how theyre going to play games, how many, how many with fans, with just tv revenue (and sports tv ratings have plummeted) the NHL isnt on solid footing. Even if the salaries are pro-rated for games played, with zero gate revenue, there are quite a few teams losing millions next year.

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Josh Leivo (1 Year / $875,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Benning Benning you overpayed 4th liners and now its come back to bite you lul.

He chose Hawryluk for 75k less yikes.</div></div>

The Leivo/Hawryluk numbers are very close per game. Hawryluk is also 3 years younger, any advantage one has the over the other is minimal at best.
Leivo's is just one of many value deals available at the bottom end of FA. Just no money to spend for most teams, and it will likely get worse next year.

Forum: NHL Signings23 oct à 21 h 39

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Travis Dermott (1 Year / $874,125 AAV)

Decent contract for the Leafs, but they still have some manipulating to do to get under the cap.

Forum: NHL Signings22 oct à 21 h 17

Sujet: Vancouver Canucks signed Jake Virtanen (2 Years / $2,550,000 AAV)

I like the deal, like the player- despite the fact his play can be infuriating at times. He takes too many stupid penalties , can get lazy in his own end, but both fixable. Hes one of the fastest players, yet apparently he isnt always in top shape! He can hit hard, but rarely does it, so much potential, yet he doesnt seem to take it very serious or apply himself. With the talent around him, if he did- he could get 30 goals easily. he just has to want it more.

Forum: NHL Signings22 oct à 21 h 11

Sujet: Ottawa Senators signed Connor Brown (3 Years / $3,600,000 AAV)

He got almost 1.1 million more than Virtanen....frankly i dont see it. Hes a decent 3rd liner- but 2nd line is a stretch, but if any of the young players falter, I guess he can slide up the roster. Virtanen has much more upside, but he takes bad penalties, needs to mature.

Sens did some strange moves, I dont think they managed all that cap space well, buying out Ryan? not taking on similar contracts and getting other prospects/drafts as well? Why the hell would you give up anything for Gudbrandson (who seems to be on a 'guess what team Im going to disappoint next' contract tour), while taking on the full salary? $4mil per can get you a decent dman. Hamonic is still out there, and he is miles better than Gudbrandson. Hell i would rather go with Bowey or Koekkoek than him. They cost less and have much more upside ( i thought Koekkoek played well in the playoffs for the Hawks, surprised they didnt bring him back).

Forum: NHL Signings22 oct à 20 h 58

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ilya Mikheyev (2 Years / $1,645,000 AAV)

Joey Anderson hasnt played a full season in the NHL, he got into only 18 games last year... with the Devils being a bottom feeder. Moving Johnsson was all about cap space.
Canucks walked away from Stecher, who was nothing more than a bottom pairing dman, he sucked when they tried to move him up into top 4. He wasnt as quick as Hughes, or anywhere near as smart a player, and he is easily manhandled in his own zone. He played much better this year- but no way was he getting his old salary from the Canucks or anyone.

Its one thing to take Klefbom off their roster for the entire year...but you neglected both Larsson and Barrie from their dmen signed.

Forum: NHL Signings21 oct à 16 h 10

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ilya Mikheyev (2 Years / $1,645,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny12357</b></div><div>Cap hell is a fun term. .. but it doesn't really apply here. Last year was cap hell, they had to pay assets to move bad contracts and still ended up with some bad deals on the books.

The cap situation right now is quite clean. They were easily able to move players to make room for their offseason plans, and actually got assets back in those deals. Right now they can sign their final RFA without making a trade, and while they will be tight to the cap, they really don't have any cap issues.</div></div>

Yah, getting out of caphell is easy- when you give away first round picks to take on contracts (Marleau) or just give up good young and reasonably priced players (Johnsson) for nothing. He was projected to play in their top 6- and they got an unsigned minor leaguer for him.
If they demote Engvall (the 2nd coming!) and use Marincin as their 7th dman (yikes!)...and carry only 22 NHLers...and dont keep Dermott on their NHL roster (via demotion or trade)..then they barely squeak under the cap- by about $100k. yup- squeaky clean!

Forum: NHL Signings20 oct à 23 h 15

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ilya Mikheyev (2 Years / $1,645,000 AAV)

It doesnt matter how the contract is paid out, his AVERAGE for the 2 years is what matters, his caphit doesnt change in year #2.
While not overpaid by any means...the Leafs are still in cap hell.
If my last name was Kerfoot....i wouldnt be buying real estate anytime soon.

Forum: NHL Signings19 oct à 20 h 59

Sujet: Vancouver Canucks signed Jayce Hawryluk (1 Year / $800,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoraStorm</b></div><div>1 mil left and how many players, incl Virtanen, need to get signed ??</div></div>

Players signed at the minimum (or close to it) arent an issue for the cap- they can be sent down to the minors with zero penalty. A buyout, a trade, or demoting someone like Eriksson will give you some relief. Considering that Tyler Johnson at $5mil was unmoveable- how much do you think teams are willing to spend on Virtanen? he has very little bargaining power.

Forum: NHL Signings19 oct à 20 h 55

Sujet: Vancouver Canucks signed Adam Gaudette (1 Year / $950,000 AAV)

Great signing, surprised they didnt go for 2 years just to avoid the headache next year.

As for the long prediction posted above- Leivo isnt signed by anyone. Ferland is likely to be on the LTIR, and who says they want to resign Edler and Pearson at those values? Nor does anyone know what the cap situation is going to be like- RFA's wont be able to demand big raises if the money isnt there. some are finding out now.

Forum: NHL Signings14 oct à 20 h 59

Sujet: Montreal Canadiens signed Brendan Gallagher (6 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>He's put up over 50 points for the past 3 years and was on pace to crush that this season. He's more than a 50 point guy.</div></div>

Hes only broken the 50 pt. plateau twice- and wasnt on pace to break it this year- even if the team had played 82 games...he missed some.
He's a leader on the team- and thats worth something- but the Habs are spending like drunken sailors. At 6.5mil...i think they will regret the last two years of the deal- at the minimum.

Forum: NHL Signings13 oct à 22 h 12

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Aaron Dell (1 Year / $800,000 AAV)

Its a good move by the Leafs, but Im surprised Dell didnt get a better offer? either more money- or the opportunity to actually play games in the NHL. Hell he is way better than Domingue, better than Smith in Edmonton- and half the money!

Sujet: (VAN/VGK) - 2022 3rd round pick for Schmidt

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Not sure if your being sarcastic or not. Schmidt >>> Tanev</div></div>

Different styles of play- I think the Canucks need a pure shot blocker like Tanev more, but Schmidt has much more offense to his game, and isnt lost in his own zone either. IF they didnt have cap issues- then 5.9 for a dman like Schmidt isnt terrible...but they do, and they just helped out a team with HUGE issues- and a deadline to sign AP! they shouldve got him for nothing,if not some cap relief (via contract dumping) or by Vegas keeping something of that contract.

Forum: NHL Trades12 oct à 21 h 24

Sujet: (VAN/VGK) - 2022 3rd round pick for Schmidt

Benning sucks. Could have had Tanev (whose only 1 year older) for 1.5mil less and keep that 3rd! Bad asset management by Benning, meanwhile he lets another team off the hook and out of cap hell....and gives up a decent draft pick to do so? while his own team remains in caphell??? one of Bennings bad contracts shouldve gone the other way (and there is plenty to choose from).

Forum: NHL Signings12 oct à 20 h 50

Sujet: Montreal Canadiens signed Tyler Toffoli (4 Years / $4,250,000 AAV)

This is more than I thought anyone would spend on Toffoli (just due to the cap situation), and the four years is okay, but he isnt the fastest guy out there- and the game is more speed orientated than ever, anything longer than 4 years- is dicey.

Forum: NHL Signings10 oct à 20 h 26

Sujet: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Zach Bogosian (1 Year / $1,000,000 AAV)

Bogosian at 1mil is a good deal, adds a little sandpaper, although even at that low price- their cap situation still sucks.

Forum: NHL Signings10 oct à 20 h 24

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Mike Smith (1 Year / $2,000,000 AAV)

If its broke....dont fix it?

Dell or Hutchinson wouldve been cheaper gambles than Smith. I doubt Miller would sign in Edmonton- but he is way better than Smith even at 40. Hell even taking a flyer on Schneider at minimum and let him battle Forsberg wouldve atleast been cheaper with some upside.

Forum: NHL Signings10 oct à 20 h 16

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Louis Domingue (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan9</b></div><div>Is Domingue supposed to be a backup? If so, can we expect a Rittich trade</div></div>

more likely they see him as a 3rd option in case of injury. because if they actually have to play him...then its a bad move.

Forum: NHL Signings10 oct à 9 h 53

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Christopher Tanev (4 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

Tanev is much better defensively than Brodie, but almost zero offense.
His injury history is worrisome, but he is only 30, so a 4 yr deal isnt crazy. Surprised the Nucks couldnt match this. they need a player like him more than they do Barrie.

Forum: NHL Signings 8 oct à 23 h 33

Sujet: Montreal Canadiens signed Josh Anderson (7 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)

Insanity. With his history of injuries, he shouldnt be getting more than 4 years, and its not like hes cheap either.
best case scenario: he turns into a good powerforward getting 25-30 goals a year....for the next 7 years....and then its a good contract.
so many ways this can backfire.

Forum: Vancouver Canucks 7 oct à 18 h 26

Sujet: Read description on my thoughts on OEL

Larsson on Vans roster makes no sense. They have a top pairing left dman in Hughes, and Edler signed for 1 more year. Paying anyone $8mil to play on your 2nd pairing is a luxury they (and most teams) cant afford. Considering Arizona is only doing this to dump salary- Vancouver isnt a great trade partner. I doubt Larsson moves to either Van or Boston.
