Haha I swear you just like to complain about anything. In another thread you said you would have liked to sign Ryan White to a PTO, now you complain that we signed Booth to a PTO... I don't really think we should sign Booth either, but I guess a PTO isn't a bad thing. I'm just not sure how we can sign him to an actual contract in our situation...

LeftWinger 4,959 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 I'm not complaining about it. Just said I would've liked it a few years ago. I remember wanting him and Weiss to play together again. I sure would've liked White to get one for sure. I don't see where you read a complaint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Implying Booth is washed up (he probably is) and would be a bad signing like Weiss. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 I don't mind it, but don't see how they'd fit him under the cap along with Athanasiou. I wonder if he's a possible backup, in case Athanasiou bolts for Russia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They still have Tangradi, Street, Lorito, Ford and Lashoff. But yeah, if Booth is willing to play in Grand Rapids, he would be a great addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I felt the "if booth was willing" was implied enough. But if no vets were lost on forward, I don't know if I'd want him in Grand Rapids either..

You can't just choose to put someone on LTIR though. Well, I guess it is a choice, but the player has to be unable to play due to injury first. If they are in that situation, then it's a choice because if you expect the player to be able to play at some point, you may not want to go that route as all it gets you is the ability to exceed the cap by their salary, if they come back later, you have to make room for them under the cap.

Yeah, I hear you, but Grand Rapids is actually fairly weak at forward right now, so I'd be okay with adding another veteran like Booth. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Whats wrong with a PTO? It's a chance for the player to see the team and for the team to see the player. At the very least it pushes young guns on the cusp of making the team to work harder and not get everything handed to them. 1 1 Jacksoni and amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and No. IF AA signs in the KHL, once we place Franzen on LTIR we are about 1.4mil under. Either way though, this is a PTO, and he could be signed to a 2-way contract or even a minor league deal. PTO's don't hurt anyone. Now if we sign him to a 1 year NHL contract, that would be stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen this $1.4M number a few times now. Where is it coming from? The number I'm getting is $933,333 remaining with 11 forwards (not including Franzen or Athanasiou), 8 defensemen and 2 goalies.
