Nasvhille: I can't stand Ryan Johnson, can you take him?

Colorado: Umm.. 50% discount?

Nashville: No doubt about it.

Colorado: Watchu want in return? Mid pick? Late pick?

Nashville: Hmm.... hmm... how about pending free agent Alex Galchenyuk?!?

Colorado: Uhh.. k?

________


Nashville: Alex, you wanna sign here?

Yup a joke of a trade to save 4 million bucks on the salary cap.

I actually think it’s a good move GM wise by both sides.

Johnson at 4 mill on the avs is a win for them.

Johnson off the rebuilding preds and saving 4 mill is a win for the preds

If Adams did this….. you would be excited

Its just amazing that they keep signing these 30 year old players to long contracts, and then give them NMC on top of it. St. Louis' roster is a joke right now because of it.

Are you going to feel the same when this guy's next contract is needed to be signed?

Sounds like the league is holding up that Flyers Carolina trade for DeAngelo. Something about the trade not being 12 months since the last one and the Salary Retention.

Ridiculous...

They will only reconsider resigning him if Okposo is going to hang them up, can only have one player over 30 acting in the Dad role on the team.

The Sabres have the best 4th line in the league...

With the best defensive forward! Future captain all-star, eater of loins. Zambrus Gigglesteens

Dahlin

The build for sustainable competition will take 5+ years...allowing a winning window from 2025-2028, then repeat the rebuild process - the losing is what is necessary to win, this is basic logic.

Thanks, we are all better for having seen this

Colorado paid: Nothing.

For a serviceable asset at an acceptable price. This is Pacioretty all over again.

Ridiculous...


- kingcong39

Pretty much, especially when the Flyers are the ones who signed him to the extension.

Ridiculous...

It’s a bunch of old guys that run and gm this league.

Very annoying rule

well, no. It would mean that we are trying to shuffle around mediocre players.

- TheSabresTaco

Jesus!! Girgensons got old quick

How do you figure? I mean, the rule itself makes complete sense because it is preventing cap circumvention.

Ridiculous...


- kingcong39

The nature of the rule makes sense. However I think what we have here is a reasonable variance request.

Sure, if it would have been Carolina that signed him to that extension.

I understand that. The Preds are rebuilding and wanted to get away from that contract to open up space

They opened up 4 million dollars

I don’t get why you are so mad? We tell Adams to “weaponize the cap.”

Another gm uses his cap and thinks dumping the player and contact is important


And you cry it’s a bad trade


I think that type of gming is great


Even the 1/2 price DeAnglo almost trade is a good one by briere.


Big fans of gms doing something different instead of the same old thing.

It also stops bogus contracts from floating around the league and allowing a team to sell off let's say broken Mark Stone and get him double retained and back on the roster.

lol what

if you think im even close to mildly perturbed you gon have to learn to contextualize text a little better.

Sure, if it would have been Carolina that signed him to that extension.
- Buff36

Sure, but do you really think that these guys wouldn't do this stuff under the table? I am not saying that there shouldn't at least be a conversation about whether this one might be allowed, I am just saying that the rule is absolutely necessary.

- TheSabresTaco

Trying to clear an error code on the fax machine. Wtf is BUNCHERROR

- Buff36

yeah they're taking the rule literally (fine) but this circumstance is seeking a variance (should) and the league (gary) needs to ask his bosses if its ok

lol what
- TheSabresTaco

Are you a Angry Taco ? You got those Kids Ready with the chalk. A can of Hormell Chilli in the pantry to feed the Dog just in case Adams needs a little push.
