Well Tavares would be on an entry level contract, so he's no problem for the first 3 years. Them he becomes a restricted free agent and you go through the same scenario of someone presenting him an offer sheet and you collect all the picks again. It's perfect, however unlikely.
-
What are you saying? If he doesn't sign an offer sheet submitted by team "X", he has to sit the year out? That's ridiculous.
-
He does have a choice. He can continue to negotiate with his current club, and any other club for that matter, until he signs an offer sheet or a contract with the Wings. He can talk to any team he likes, anytime from the draft on.
-
I don't understand how they'd fit Luongo's $7 million contrct and remain within the cap, but you can dream I guess.
-
Huh, he doesn't have to sign or sit out? What are you trying to suggest? That Flip will sit out rather than sign an offer sheet from another club? He either signs the offer sheet or continues to negotiate with his current club. The moment he signs anything, negotiations are over. The Wings match or they don't match

Goodbye and good riddance.

The season is still 3 months away, and you're already disappointed with a lack of activity at the trade deadline? OK.

Again: $863,156 or less None $863,156 - $1,307,811 3rd round pick $1,307,811 - $2,615,623 2nd round pick $2,615,623 - $3,923,434 1st and 3rd round pick $3,923,434 - $5,231,246 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick $5,231,246 - $6,539,061 Two 1st's, one 2nd, one 3rd round pick $6,539,061 or more Four 1st round picks

I understand they traded a 2010 pick and a 2009 pick, the point being, how many draft picks are you willing to forego to try and make your team better now?
-
The Canucks traded two draft picks to Buffalo for Steve Bernier, so they're running low on picks already.
-
Why start another thread when you don't have a direct link to post?
-
He won't take it because Finnish people aren't greedy ... that's hilarious.
-
Consider this, the LA Kings have to spend $15 million toward the cap just to get to the "floor" for this coming season. There isn't too many decent players left who are UFA to spend that money on. Watch for the to make a play for other team's RFA through ridiculous offer sheets.
-
Did you bother to read the quote? He didn't suggest that Blake = Lidstrom. He compared them in terms of age and leadership qualities.
-
Hey, you want to jettison Maltby or Kopecky to get a fighter, that's fine, they're redundant on this team anyway.
-
You're quoting yourself?
-
Lebda's $850,000 ... the others are all unsigned for the season after next, therefore no cap space is freed up for them.
-
It's fair.
-
Another redundant thread, but look at it this way and do the math: They have $38.2 million spent toward the 2009/2010 cap. Let's say for s***'s and giggles the cap rises to $60 million. That means they have roughly $22 million to pay Hank, Hossa, Franzen, Flip, Hudler, Samuelsson, Kopecky and a back-up goalie.
-
The cap hit for any given year is the total number of dollars divided by the total number of years. For instance, Mike Fischer signed a deal like this ... $6 mil, $4 mil, $4 mil, $4 mil, $3 mil ... that's $21 million over 5-years, with a cap hit of $4.2 mil per year, even in the years that he makes less than the $4.2 mil.
-
Sundin looking elsewhere ... could not afford it Z, mule and Flip up next ... Sundin still not certain to play ... and that's it.
-
Busiest time of year... Discussed with all in org about Hossa or Sundin etc ... Made an offer to Hossa long-term, much less than others offered ... Marian called them ... One-year agreed upon at same level as Lidstrom ...
-
Holland on now.
-
Huet is 33, he's not young. They overpaid drastically for him.
-
Bertuzzi was an UFA, it's a little different. I would be watching for the Wings to possibly move Sammy, Hudler, Lilja, Maltby or Lebda at this point. The trouble with dealing lilja is he probably took less to stay here and dealing him makes the organization look somewhat untrustworthy ... why should I take less money to stay only to have you trade me.
