Rumors: 2024-25 Season

An increase in cap is of no benefit if your giving it all back to the players

Uh what?

That's exactly what the cap is, a ceiling on player salaries. You're always giving it back to the players.

Kypreos wrote in The Toronto Star:

There’s some talk about Jeff Gorton feeling somewhat isolated as vice-president of hockey operations for the Montreal Canadiens. He may be missing the day-to-day action of being in the thick of things as a general manager, but those duties now belong to Kent Hughes. It would be interesting if Gorton entertains offers to get back into the action this summer.

The speculation shit splatter almost hit me here in Florida.

Zero basis for this.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Talking heads in French media suggested the opposite this week… that he is pulling all the strings, including Farrell playing against Philly.

If Gorton wanted to do GM stuff he could have just hired a francophone meat puppet to do his bidding. Instead he hired a competent anglo to be an actual, real GM.

Renaud shot it down today.

I agree.. Florida 1st and a B prospect.. maybe a 3rd round pick next year.

Panthers first is better than all 3 of those though

 

[worm]

A poster included Mesar in a trade proposal.

Yes. That is the B prospect

 

[worm]

As Florida's first keeps getting further and further away from the bottom, I agree.

Right now it is 15th. No way I trade that for him

CBJ beat writer Aaron Portzline, mentions PLD was awaiting an offer sheet from MB, so was Jaarmo which is why he cleared cap space in order to match, and swung the Laine deal shortly thereafter.

Why match the offer take the 4 firsts from a lousy hockey team

Probability would state none of those 1sts would be a player as good as PLD

 

[Habsy]

Offer would have never been that high. See Aho.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

If the offer isn't going to be ridiculously high (like Kotkaniemi) there's no point making one in the first place. The Aho offer sheet was a waste of paper.

Exactly, and a stupid offer is ridiculous for PLD

The other team would be even dumber to not take those picks

Are you kidding me , we just drafted #1 overall last year

That pick plus others would would of been high lottery over a 4 year term

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

PLD won't cost us a first round pick, especially if the Jets get eliminated this week.

What’s the probability Slaf will match or out produce PLD?

A bird in the hand…

So your giving up 4 unprotected firsts for PLD , I would fire you in a second

Giving up fuck all for him , let him apply as a UFA if he really absolutely wants come home

This is just the agent making waves IMO
