IlliniKrush Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 07:43 PM) This is after they missed the playoffs, bought out Briere and Bryzgalov, then paid a fortune for Mark Streit and now Vinny. Wow. And they now have a ton of work left to do to get under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 A huge part of managing the cap is doing the other parts of general management well. For instance, getting cheap production from your drafts -- see Saad, Brandon and Shaw, Andrew. You'll always be looking great in terms of cap space if you can habitually let guys walk when they first reach free agency and replace them with rookie contract guys.

Fortunately they've filled the gap with these guys. Looking forward to seeing what Pirri can do...it's his time. Same with Ben Smith and Hayes...seems they do a great job filling the holes. Like when Buff left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Unfortunately, the Coyotes are staying in Phoenix instead of moving somewhere that will actually watch hockey. They will also now be known as the "Arizona Coyotes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 While the long-term contracts on the previous CBA were definitely an unfair circumvention of the rules, the penalties that await if the players retire are even more unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, talk about indian giving. That probably gives Hossa one, maybe two more years in Chicago before they have to buy him out to avoid any future cap penalties.

zenryan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah it did. I guess player for player I'm not a fan of it. I think Seguin is a guy who can crack 40 goals a few times before its all said and done. But when you look at the cap its not really a bad deal. Got a player who will score 25-30 goals while making less and got rid of Peverley who is due 3.25M for each of the next 2 years. Now the B's have 9 million for free agency and another 4 million if they use the Savard inury exception. Plus they need to lock up Bergeron and Rask long term.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ouch. Seems like a high price for a defenseman that Q downsized to about 5 minutes in the last few playoff games. I love Leddy, but Q doesn't seem to, so at $2.7 M, he better be getting ice time up there with Keith and Hjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the rumors around Boston, it sounds like Seguin has a little KANER in him and likes to have fun, that's a main reason the Bruins traded him.

Kyyle23 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 More than a little Kaner, if you believe Deadspin. 24 hour security detail to make sure he didnt party You can make fun of Kane for his party habits, but his famous pictures (except for the limo picture) were after the season was over.

He was struggling a bit and Boston targeted him in game 4 & 6, so Q kept him off the ice. Kid is still only 22 so I'm not too concerned. He's so good moving the puck and at that number you can keep him around and figure out exactly what you have in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't get the Tyler Seguin trade. So he is a little immature and had a bad playoffs. He is still only 21 with crazy upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
