Well I have a place in Florida which I can’t get to. It’s only an hour from Tampa so I’m with you on rooting for the Bolts James. At least now that the ‘Nucks are gone. Hedman is a beast that’s for sure. enjoy the diversion guys stay well.

im Saying no but I suppose in the right set of circumstances. I don’t think he will be renewed by most Capwise gms and therefor will be an expensive injury replacement player.

You are right (your memory is good I’d say) but the guy next in my queue was Marchand. It was something to do with the auto draft settings I think. Was very odd. Anyway it turned out not too bad although the Marchand contract is one of the great bargains out there.

He’s been pretty good. 24 points in 28. Hits generator, decent pims and face offs. 79.5% on fantrax. Good value in fantasy. I’m liking it as I have him in GNFL.

I think it's a good deal for the Sens. He's the real deal. Now yes they could trade him at some point so they can pay the bills, but seeing what's going on in salaries for younger players around the league, I expect this to look like a real steal within a year or two.

I have him in GNFL and am delighted! I pessimistically had him penciled in for 9. This is a great deal for Van.

That's great man. Enjoy!

This is the kind of situation that teams would normally do a bridge “prove it” deal. Back in the “old” days. That would make perfect sense. Arizona management might well either look like geniuses or complete fools on this one.

8 years actually.

This is what 14 goals and 47 points in 82 games can fetch now? Jeez. Kicks in in 2020/21.

Tampa will have to move some top end talent this year or next though. Something has to give. Their best cup window is this year.

I thought he’d be at 10 plus but with the favourable Florida tax regime it is worth much more than in most cities.

Yes it’s a vital position true and worth 10 mil or more. It is just an adjustment that’s all.

Well that’s underpaid compared to Bob’s contract. But a tough contract for Capwise nevertheless.

Bryan Trottier 1424 Jean Beliveau 1279 James Patrick 639 pretty decent

Exactly what I think happened.

Yes could hamper Capwise. But yet also make it even more of a challenge. It could just mean that some star players may not be worth owning. Especially some D who are paid to defend and not necessarily put up stats.

Carolina should definitely wait until last minute to match though. It’s a small bit of retribution at least.

I think there is a lot of posturing going on; Montreal’s management and Aho’s agent trying to cause or at least deepen a rift between Carolina management and Aho. Playing games. For some reason, probably mainly term, the Canes couldn’t get a deal done with Aho. Hope they can put this behind them and get back to business after the inevitable matching of this contract.

But there are surplus players there and the 5.3 of Horton not added back. Which it can be later on if needed.

I don’t think so Veg. I think Horton’s contract can be moved to ltir concurrent with start of season. So that is +5.7. There are also surplus players on the roster on capfriendly which can be demoted like Gauthier, Agostino, Gravel. Low cost ones I know. They will have to negotiate a low cost contract for Kerfoot probably. I could be wrong but I seem to recall them doing this exercise last year. if someone[ knows for sure please advise.

Leafs by my quick calculation have about 12 mil left, with Marner to be signed. That’s with Nathan Horton’s ltir added back and including Ceci at 4.5. Gotta think they’re done now. Also think Marner may be extended sooner than later.

Oh I see! Colorado retained 50% of Barrie’s salary. Good work Dubas!

Ok got it.
