Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Saad - Ladd - Sharp Teuvo - Frolik - Brouwer Bolland Byfuglien - Leddy Oduya - Campbell That's the start of a playoff team right there, thanks salary cap! Happens in sports. It sucks but price ya pay for winning. I'd take it all day everyday. I have seen the Pens win two cups and wouldn't trade it (unless I could trade them for a Chiefs Super Bowl ). In the NFL, the Ravens had their team ripped apart twice IIRC, the Broncos this season lost some key players (as Bears fans, y'all know) as well. Take the championships and roll on boys. You saw three of them recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly take 3 World Series' or 3 Super Bowls in 7 years if it meant they had to get rid of young, up and coming players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I never really read the details of expansion. I'm sure you guys already chatted about this, but 1. Teams will have the option to protect either seven forwards, three defensemen, and one goalie, or eight skaters at any position and one goalie. That’ll mean some interesting tradeoffs to be made: if a team doesn’t want to risk losing a second-pairing defenseman, it’s going to be forced to expose two second-line forwards. It’s also a change from the last expansion draft, when teams could choose to protect two goalies. Think of all the decent backups around the league now, and the out-and-out goalie controversies—some legitimate potential starters are going to be headed to Vegas. (Luckily for Tampa, Ben Bishop is a UFA next summer. Pittsburgh’s situation might be a little trickier, especially if they’d be forced to protect Marc-Andre Fleury due to his limited no-movement clause. But, this is why the NHL is giving teams a year’s heads-up to plan for this.) 2. Teams will be forced to expose at least two forwards and one defenseman who played at least 40 games in the previous season, or a combined 70 in the previous two. That means legit NHL-caliber guys are going to be drafted. Because Las Vegas must draft one player from all 30 teams, your team is going to lose someone it regularly ices. Some more rules: Teams must protect players that have no-movement clauses active in the 2017-18 season, though they can ask those players to waive their no-movement clauses. First- and second-year pros (that includes NHL and AHL time) are exempt. Teams cannot reacquire players they trade after Jan. 1, 2017 prior to Jan. 1, 2018. Las Vegas must draft a team that earns between 60 percent and 100 percent of the 2016-17 salary cap. Las Vegas will get draft lottery odds equivalent to the team that finishes third-last in the league this upcoming season. The Blackhawks will be quite exposed next year. source: http://deadspin.com/the-las-vegas-nhl-team..._source=taboola Edited July 19, 2016 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) That actually would be terrible, as if he retires with the Vegas team before his contract is up, the Hawks have to foot the bill and it still impacts the cap. LTIR is the only way they get out of the Hoss money, which is exactly what I think is going to happen after this season, especially if he continues to play like the 3rd liner. (I understand his age, I'm not saying it's all on Hossa). Ideally he "retires" before the expansion draft so we don't have to worry about it, and we can protect another roster spot.

That will leave a hole next to #19, but I think Hossa can still be a solid contributor with his solid D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
