Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

It does the opposite. Most teams will have a 10m+ player soon. You create a hard franchise tag number. Say $12m. If Toronto signs Matthews to $15m they can franchise tag him and only $3 mil would count against the cap.

Meanwhile other middle of the row teams can use the exemption for their top players and have room to add at deadline is they're having a good year. There are surprise teams every year.

The bottom feeders are irrelevant. I don't believe in catering to the lowest common denominator. Most teams are average and this system helps them as well. The NHLPA would obviously agree to it.

Bottom feeders are the ones whose agents are licking their chops

Now your getting a 70 point player on a shit team getting tagged when the agent says " hey its free cap money "

Next man up and player comparables creates issues

 

[Habsy]

The tag isn't use as comparables.

Not in the NFL either and it did no such thing there.

NBC's Tara Slone on speaking her mind about James Reimer: 'We have to talk about this'

"Nobody told me to watch myself. Nobody gave me anything to say or not to say," Tara Slone says of the commentary that went viral.

To be fair, the cap system is especially bad right now....don't understand how salaries can go up during covid but team salaries were not supposed to?

Expansion, no?

“I explicitly do not respect this large group of human beings, but I do hope that my own decision to take that position will be respected.”

Zeke really should erase that post. Campbell has enough problems without the fake news.

Karma finally catches up with all of the assholes.

At least he’s being honest about it.

Falling from a high rise window in Russia seems quite a bit more likely than ol' Jeezy boy throwing down some lightning on you for wearing a rainbow too.

Another goal for Engvall, and a +3 night in a win.

Very glad we threw him away for nothing.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

It really is hilarious.

They ditched Engvall and his 16 goals, defensive play, $2.2m, and UFA status and kept Kerf and his 8 goals, $3.5m, and UFA status. Like…what?

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Out of town.

Hyman gets his 32nd goal of the season. THIRTY SECOND. That makes me mad.

On the other hand, the Oilers way of evening things out: one Jack Campbell. Played just the 3rd game in the past 17, this one against the Yotes. Did get the 5-4 win but failed to put up .900 again. Has not had a .900 game since Feb 7.

He'll get bought out this summer.

Engvall in or out doesn't change anything. A real scoring winger though would have.

I highly doubt he is bought out.... Yet. He will get a chance to bounce back and paying him for 8 years is quite the ask.

Hyman was good here but 19pp goals was never going to happen here not to mention +15 oish%

Engvall in over ZAR or Lafferty changes a lot.

Brady Tkachuk would be a perfect fit with the leafs. He’s exactly what we are missing on our top 6. Imagine him on Matthews wing.

Hyman is well surrounded offensively. Of course he’s having a career year with McDavid/Draisaitl feeding him perfect passes/plays every game.
