If we haven't won a cup in the time Eichel is here, let him go.

If the capitals only gave OV 11 years, he never would have won a cup

Better that thanthe NBA where the warriors seemingly just bought themselves another championship with their latest signing. Playing the season honestly seems like a way of time

Honest Question: Can you guys even Afford to sign him? You have $9M in Cap space and need to sign Larkin and Mantha as well. Also, Red Wings can't try to Low-Ball AA this time given he has arbitration rights. What happens if he goes to arbitration and his awarded contract puts you guys over the cap? I know you have some LTIR but that won't help you to be Cap Compliant. You need to be Compliant to start the season, then you can use your LTIR. So if you were looking to trade him, or even have no choice but to trade him, what kind of return are you looking for given your situation?

Franzen is a LTIR guy so there’s $3.95 mil extra

Plus he’s on the last two years only making $1 mil. Could be moved to a team looking to hit the floor.

I know but I remember reading or someone mentioning that you can't add the LTIR money to your cap Until the 2nd day of the Season, meaning you have to go into the 1st day of the season Cap Compliant and then you can use your LTIR money after that. I believe it is a big reason why Chicago wants to get rid of that Hossa contract.

Edit: If they trade the contract then that is a different story, then they will have more cap space.

You're allowed to be over 10% of the cap I believe during the summer, they'll figure it out

Nothing is worse than GSW fans. So cocky and ignorant. Even the players on the team talk so much poop with that poop eating grin on their faces. Although when they lose, the poop talking gets worse with the excuses.

He's not entirely wrong. There's different calculations based on when you use LTIR. Most of the time, it's used after you get your final roster under the cap, because you get the most value. If you have to tap into it earlier, you get less.
