Our year
FFS Holland if you fucking blow the last of the budget on another 6-year ~~~~~GRIT~~~~~ signing I'm shooting up the new arena.
You wouldn't pay more than 5mil to give Rads a drive but you tie up 10mil in two 3/4line Centers?

The Vancouver Canucks made a major splash with forward Loui Eriksson, who agreed to a six-year deal worth $6 million per season

>>69120338
>>69120340
Ah, but that's where you are wrong, >our bottom 2 centers will be Helm and Glendening, instead of letting the center prospects develop properly.
Larkin - Zetterberg - Nyquist
Tatar - Nielson - Abdelkader
Athanasiou - Sheahan - Mantha
Miller - Helm - Jurco
Glendening & Pulkkinen can chill
Kronwall - DDK
Smith - Green
Marchenko - Ericsson
Mrazek
Howard
Like 12M in cap space (DDK and Mrazek get resigned this year)
>>69120392
hello newfriend, not up on our dank memes? There might be a guide to /sp/ on your home planet of Reddit.
>>69120346
We actually like our hockey arenas.
Even the niggest of nigs in Detroit will chill out for some hockey.
>>69120394
Holy shit that contract is fucking awful
>>69120394
How does this work? is the bonus added to NHL-salary part?
>>69120442
yeah it just doesn't count against the cap.
>>69120418
That is not a good team m8
>>69120442
The site is showing it retarded. The NHL salary part includes the bonus. His actual pay that he'll get monthly throughout the year is $1 mil.
>>69120418
I thought it was more like $8M in cap space left?
Also, Helm and Sheahan will probably be switched from what you have.
Backes was looking for a 7 year 6.9m deal
Took less money to play with the Bruins
>>69120418
>elbowkader
>2nd line

>it's another "devils don't do anything in fa" episode

No, it counts against the cap. I think what it escapes is escrow.
>yfw vanek signs for pennies in LA and has a resurgence
What's up with this signing bonus shit that's so popular all of a sudden? Is this a new meme?
>>69120300
>those forwards
that's sad
>>69120479
8M + fran 4M & Vitale 1M in LTIR
>>69120442
the earnings are composed of the salary+signing bonus
only salary is considered when buying a player out
so, if they try to buy him out, it won't save them any cap making it not worth it
buy out proof
>>69120532
christ that's depressing
Where is Demers going to sign?
I want him on the >laffs
>>69120442
Signing bonus is given to the player as a lump sum on July 1st every year, Stamkos' salary during the rest of the year is only 1 million (so around 100k per month)
Signing bonuses are guaranteed money (unlike salary which is paid on a 2/3 ratio in the case of a buyout), the Clarkson contract is infamous because around 80% is paid in bonuses and it makes no sense to buy it out. Stammer's of course not a shit player, but anything can happen. Try the buyout tool to see how the numbers work.

Oh, makes sense.
Is Nielsen getting a NTC? I hope not.

>>69120532
there's another Rask?
Can someone explain to someone who is a hockey casual why Nielsen got that much money? His stats don't even look good
>>69120581
Nope, however if it comes to the point that the wings want to get rid of him, nobody else in the league would want him with this contract.

Free agency is just retarded in general. Only way to win is not to play.
>>69120605
Ken Holland likes drafting and signing ~~GRIT~~ recently over any actual skill.
>>69120612
Yeah, but they could dump him on a team in a rebuild and retain salary or give away picks/prospects if necessary. And if Vegas takes him, that's fine, too.

That says more about Canada than it does about the Snes
How come Hudler's not signed yet? He had 76 points a year ago.
>>69120815
I thought he was very good for someone that young with the oilers. Played like a real pro. Maybe those are Nigerian years.
/hoc/, what is the general consensus on the Hurricanes?
They're my local team, I go to games when I can... and I'm fairly optimistic about their chances to make the playoffs next year.
Now that I've woke up and have seen that the Blues have managed now to lose 3 of their best 4 playoff performing players in going back to sleep.
Wake me up in 340 days.
Or if Perron comes good.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 39s40 seconds ago
Viktor Stalberg to CAR on a one-year deal.
>>69120877
Goalies are trash but the defense in front of them is good. They need forwards though.
>>69120877
Don't hold your breath.
Resigning Ward was stupid and gives them potentially the worst goaltending situation in the league. And their forwards are just The Other Staal and a band of literally whos.
>>69120890
And apparently now Viktor Stalberg. Plan the fuckin' parade.

the fastest way to increase contract sizes is to let other people see how much one group is paying a person.

After this most recent season I saw potential sparks of good future seasons to come. It wasn't great but it did seem as though the team had potential to really let loose soon. I hope it's the case. After that Stanley loss to the Kings it seemed like the Devs were basically just recuperating. Meh.

Until playoff chokes to Carolina. And everyone else we faced basically.
>>69122088
I always did think of the Devils as a pretty underrated team. In general no one ever really talks about them, just lay low under the radar team that usually makes it to playoffs and chokes then.
Glad to hear we have some hope for next season at least. :D

I'm still searching for some sign of confirmation
I got some heavily mixed feelings now
I am not one of the typical (non NHL knowing) austrian hockey fans who get a raging boner when Vanek is mentioned
Vanek also slowly gets worse every season
but now comes the hard part
He still is austrian and it would be nice having an austrian cup winner
BUT
On the other hand, he plays for the fucking Kongs then, why should I support the damn kongs? (NO FANS BEFORE 2012)
If loose lips sink ships what do loose cheeks sink?
see >>69123584 and >>69123304
The signing itself is good, I'm glad they got another scoring winger with low risk, the franchise is just ass-backwards.
Also aren't you the one who comes crying the habs can do no wrong every time makes a joke at the expense of their management?

sure the franchise is ass-backwards. i also despise michel rispek therrien. but when bergevin thinks big like he's been doing and actually moves the team forward i'd rather give him his due than complain
enough ink has been spilled concerning subbs-weber but as far as i'm concerned that's not a bad trade at all if weber isn't permanently butthurt. never mind the alleged "character issues", subban has cost the team a ton of games by trying to be flashy and giving the puck to the other team. he has a retardedly high amount of turnovers, and completely dropped the ball last season. weber's contract isn't as bad as people make it to be, considering the preds eat the cap space if he retires early, and also because weber's last years are basically free.
and considering price is in his prime right now i'd rather they try to push for a good team in the next 2-3 years, because a lot of other key players like plek, pacc, and markov are on limited time
the radulov signing is great, the guy has a shit tonne of talent. nothing bad has happened in the khl in a couple years, and if shit hits the fan they can just get rid of him. way i see it this is exactly what them team needed offense-wise and has the chance to seriously rekindle the top 6

Decent enough 2nd line grinding meat and potatoes type of player
matt martin played against some of the lowest QoC in the entire league (same for whole isles 4th line, which gives the illusion that they're much more effective than they actually are). fact of the matter is, martin is not only a possession blackhole, but his team gives up more shots against when he is on the ice than shots for. and again, this against almost exclusively other 4th line players.
that whole line and especially matt martin are the absolute definition of a meme. a narrative that they are good for meme reasons was made pervasive by local ny media outlets.
meme af.

t. toronto man
it matters when other 4th line players on average play against much better competition. look it up. also look up his advanced possession stats especially in the d zone. and look at how often he starts in the offensive zone yet still consistently gives up more shots against than shots for.

Is Vanek really that terrible these days? Got 40+ points while getting low minutes last year
>>69127026
Vanek get's the point cause he is babbied in his lines
He maybe has a somewhat passable scoring instinct, but the guy is lazy AF. Doesn't fight along the boards, doesn't fight for the puck at all and all in all just waits for some chip ins or simple shots
>>69127026
If vanek is making under 3 million he's not bad. Definitely still a guy who can score you 20 goals maybe more.
>>69127026
he has good hands and thats literally it
