And the Blackhawks are getting clobbered with a 2 year cap recapture penalty.

All the best to Keith. But I will laugh at the Blackhawks organization about it

 

[StormChaserBH]

Heck, with the way they're unloading, they probably want the penalty to help them meet the floor.

Mrazek next year on that Chicago team is going to see more rubber than ........... you know the joke!

The way they’re cleaning house they won’t be needing the space soon.

I believe that was the tipping point for their decision to tear it down (finally) and rebuild. Now, if only Mrazek would have a healthy contract year bounce-back and screw up their tank job

Forsburg stays in Nashville

Forsburg stays in Nashville

In the neighborhood of 8 years/$70 million

Surprisingly reasonable AAV, and Forsberg should be the kind of guy that ages OK. He's big-ish but doesn't really bang bodies that much. Kind of a Kreider type forward rather than the kind that hits a wall when they're 32. Still, Nashville is gonna be paying that off until he's 36. That's the price of keeping high end forwards.

Not happy that Dawn is stealing Fabrizio Romano's "Let's Go" line!

that will buy a lot of mustache wax

Saw something that with Forsburg staying in Nashville, DeBrincat being traded and Gaudreau likely not on the Hurricanes’ wish list, would Nino or Trocheck be the UFAs the Hurricanes should pursue?? Who else is there?

For a UFA wishlist I would think Giroux, maybe Malkin.

I would still place Tarasenko high on the Canes wishlist via trade as well.

i can’t see Dundon wanting to pay Vinny what he’s looking for on the open market and Nino to me is not worth $5m plus moving forward.

LeBrun has Forsberg’s salary breakdown.

Years 1-4, $10M salary each season
Year 5, $4.5M salary plus $3M signing bonus
Year 6, $4M salary plus $3M sb
Year 7, $4M salary plus $3M sb
Year 8, $3.5M salary plus $3M sb

Full No Move throughout
Modified NTC for final two seasons

You have to wonder now with that trade for Georgiev and saying goodbye to Kuemper that it free ups the extra few million needed to either bring back Kadri or at least Nicushkin and maybe Manson. They can qualify Georgiev for $2.65 m.

Georgiev signed a 3 year deal with the Avs. Adrian Dater says $3.4 million AAV.

I find the goaltending musical chairs to be entertaining to watch! Stevie Y wasted no time jumping quick on Husso and locking him up, Fleury signed pretty quick in Minnesota, Colorado wasted no time in finding a warm body to replace Kuemper…Oilers and Leafs in a near panic for goaltending and both of those teams almost need two each, Caps and Devils and maybe Buffalo looking for serious help as well in net. Not enough good goaltending to go around.

Frank Seravalli tweeted about the Coyotes schedule. They start with 20 of their first 24 games on the road, 2 games each in October and November, a 4 game homestand from 10/30 - 11/3. There are no Saturday night home games during what he calls NCAa season. I don’t know if that’s because ASU will be using the arena or the school won’t let them conflict with a basketball game elsewhere on campus. None of their preseason games are at home, their “home” games are in Wichita, Tucson (where their AHL team plays) and Tulsa.

Mark Lazerus from The Athletic says that the Blackhawks will not extend a QO to Dylan Strome. His QO would have been $3.6 million. He averaged nearly a point per game centering Kane and DeBrincat in the 2nd half of the season.

There was no market for his rights?

Or at least qualify him and then trade him for an asset…strange going on’s in Chicago…just odd all around.

I think the issue is that he has arbitration rights. So if they qualified him, then he could go to arbitration, get a nice award. Although the team could then walk away from the award, that wouldn't happen until well after free agency starts, which would throw a cloud over the player and be extremely unfair to him. Maybe that's not it at all, but that's the only way I could rationalize it.
