Old Town Road breaks every record And is a terrible song go America

Michael Russo also said on the Russo-Souhan show that Jake Gardiner has a somewhat long term handshake deal in place with a team that has to move out a high priced defenseman to make his cap hit fit.


So if any team dumps a big money D, they're probably signing Gardiner

Rangers said to be buying out Shattenkirk...could be them?

I was just looking at Matt Hunwick's NHL.com page and I came across this:


Draft: 2004 BOS, 7th rd, 31st pk (224th overall)

How is that possible?

Let's hope not the Sabres

what does somewhat long term mean.. 3 years?

I was hearing it is the NYR. As mentioned before by an insider here, the Sabres offered a 2-year deal, not a long term. Now I do understand that the offer could have changed.

Now looking at NYR cap situation, that means they would be spending around $31m for the 7 guys (that would include Gardiner at around $6m per). That would not include RFA Deangelo or the potential buyout of Shattenkirk (which would need to happen, 2019-20 cap hit would be around $1.5m and $6m next year! ouch!). This would still see NYR a bit above the cap ceiling.

So looking at that detail, it almost can't be NYR. They would really be against the wall. Talk about trying to speed up a rebuild, they are in cap hell in year 2 (?) of the rebuild.

Didn't it just break one record for longest a top the Billboard top 100? And most of the other songs on the list for longest at #1 are not too great either (in my opinion, of course) . The Top 100 is not where good music is found, just the most commercialized.

NYR are ~$4m above the cap right now, still need to sign Lemieux and Deangelo (those should be relatively low, maybe ~$1.2 for Lemieux and ~$2m for Deangelo), so that leaves them around $7m above the cap ceiling. Then a buyout of Shatts would save them around $5.1m (this year), so that means they are still $2 above, now burying a contract or two should get them about to the ceiling, but I am not sure where they can get Gardiner in at ~$5m+ in there. They would need to trade a few pieces to make it happen.

Had turkey Polish sausage it was Actually very disappointing

Compensatory picks used to be awarded for any drafted players who weren’t signed

It went something like,
If u drafted a player in round 3, pick 20...
(and then he didn’t get signed)
then in the next draft you’d get your compensatory pick at spot 20 in round 4
So a round later

This stopped in the mid2000s i believe
Probably after the new CBA was agreed to after the lockout of ‘04 I’m guessing


*that’s how i remember it anyways
But what do i know?
I’m drunk & can’t reach the top shelf

Making a healthier choice is just something you do, no one else gives a poop.

Thanks, I know they still exist (I think) if you take an NCAA player in the first round and they don't sign with you, but I had no idea they used to be so common.

No worries
I think it used to be for every round?

I don’t remember exactly how it went,
but I’m pretty sure it was something similar to what i laid out

We'd have gotten a 3rd round pick in 2022 if Eichel didn't sign

According to some...They'd probably want the pick.

Could’ve used that pick to trade for Gusev...

a 3rd is basically a late first or is it a mid 6th.. i can't remember

We'd have to add a 6th.

Anybody know anything about a young kid Conor Garland RW from the Yotes?

47 points in 70 games between NHL and AHL.

More than ppg in Tucson and 0.5ppg in NHL

EDIT: he is my new covet for an under the radar value trade. Botts would be great to get him.
- Der Kaiser

I don’t know this player, but thanks for putting him on the radar. I don’t expect JB to make a big, high-profile move. But this type of acquisition would be both savvy and reasonable. And in a much needed position.

Chris Kunitz retired today. 4 Cups is a pretty good career.

Meh.
5th round pick, age 23.5.
O.50 PPG pace in AHL for 2-1/2 seasons, but did produce at slightly over 1.0 ppg in 1/3 of season in last year AHL...and about 0.35 in 1/2 season in NHL.
Maybe a late bloomer.
Give them like Scandella and a 4th, sure.
