GHT120 Posted July 3 Author Posted July 3 Flyers have $17,173,395 in cap space next season with most of their major roster spots filled ... BUT ... Cutter Gauthier is also an RFA Tough choice ... will Gauthier bridge to allow "minor" salary cap moved to make it work or is he looking to "cash in" If Anaheim matches then I'll bet a lot of teams send Gauthier offer sheets Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 3 Posted July 3 18 million per season… Brutal offer and tough situation Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Habs should offer the same for Bedard. Chicago would match and hamstring themselves. Sure lots of cap room today but lots of RFA coming in 2027/2028 Offer sheets as cap management warfare Quote

Now GAUTHIER I could see HuGo going after if Anaheim matches ... I'd offer a Demidov-ish contract Quote

WildTurkeyXX Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Another (slightly less antagonistic) way to take advantage could be to offer Anaheim an opportunity to move Granlund's contract...? That might leave them enough room to manage the mess... Quote

Take advantage of what ... pending Gauthier's contract, with most of their roster signed they have $17,173,395 in cap space currently, $47,225,061 next summer and $72,650,000 the year after when Sennecke is an RFA ... any moves they need tom make are minor.

Haha I kinda missed that Carrlson has already been included (along with the post).. Man... how do these teams have so much cap space!? Quote
titanfan Posted July 3 Posted July 3 $950,000 to $18,000,000/season. Think the kid shit his pants when he got that call? Quote
WildTurkeyXX Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Kinda makes you wonder what Celebrini's contact is going to look like, now? Sharks might want to get on top of that. Quote
TheDriveFor25 Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Have to think Ducks match.. but does that mean they make sacrifices elsewhere... Would someone like Guhle plus prospect/picks interest them in moving Mintyukov, avoid another high contract. Would they move Granlund's 7 million for a cheaper contract (Dach? plus) Quote

The horse might be out of the barn on that one already. An offer sheet has been tendered to him, just not signed as of yet. Quote

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 4 Posted July 4 All I can say is Wow! Verbeek must be pissed! What a tough decision to make. Lose an absolute stud 21 year old centre or screw up the contract structure on your team. Not easy! The Habs contracts look so good now. Well done Kent!! Quote

So far, Hughes has been managing the RFA signings well. Quote

He signed the offer i think, so already had kinda agreed hasnt he? As with Shae Weber, the Flyers make a smart offer sheet with big numbers that likely shoudnt be matched by the Ducks, as Nashville did. Should the Ducks match Flyers’ offer sheet to Leo Carlsson? - The Athletic RFA deals are usually where teams build value, as they generally get paid 10 to 20 percent less than UFAs due to team control. Carlsson’s deal is obviously far from that. Even factoring for significant growth from both the salary cap and Carlsson himself, he just isn’t an $18 million player. The Flyers, a likely playoff team with $25 million in cap space and a fairly set lineup on good deals, can make that bet — especially because they can insulate him and provide Carlsson with ample help. For a Ducks team with a lot of holes, it’s a much trickier proposition. Quote
WildTurkeyXX Posted July 4 Posted July 4 If I understand it correctly, if Anaheim matches, they are not allowed to turn around and trade Carlsson for at least a year, is that correct? I thought I heard the regarding the Hayten OS, so I'd assume the same rules apply here (if that was even correct reporting, in the first place). If so, anyone think there's a chance Anaheim simply matches, waits the year then trades him for max value? Quote
DON Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Supposedly Ducks matching is likely to happen, got a week to mull it over i guess. Quote
