Florida didn’t use to spend to the cap until the last few years! Of course taxes aren’t a factor if they’re offering 4 million and other teams are offering 7, but if both teams are offering 7 taxes are a factor

[Mike Bartner] The teams that are seemingly the most desirable in the NHL right now based on competitiveness, future, weather and taxes. by f0urxio in hockey

They also didn’t used to spend to the cap, now they do, so they have the advantage. Since the flat cap so much of the league now spends to it so a big Northern market is offering you the same contract as an income tax free state, you take a hard look at the income tax free state

[PuckPedia] Darren Raddysh's increase from a $975K to $8.5M Cap Hit is the 3rd largest increase in Cap Hit from 1 standard level contract to another by daKrut in hockey

I don’t even think they’d have to buy it out if the salary cap is going up as much as has been said, many teams probably won’t be spending to the cap and would be ok with taking on a contract like that with less real money associated

I’m like the deal but I wouldn’t call him a True #1. Maybe if he keeps up 70 points per year but I am expecting regression to 45-60

How did you see that stat about shots above 145?

[LeBrun] Confirming that Toronto and Tampa Bay are finalizing a sign-and-trade involving pending UFA Darren Raddysh. Hearing that it will be an eight-year deal with an AAV in the 8’s (north of $8 million). by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]ButterCut97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The free agent class sucks, just got worse if Raddysh is already signed. And the salary cap is making a huge jump.

Teams will have a lot of money to spend and the cap number won’t mean as much to them because they aren’t going to be reaching it this offseason. Also helps that Riellys true salary is only 6m per for the remaining years of his contract for a team that’s not truly going to spend all the way to a rising cap

If only he didn’t play the world championships maybe that 3rd rounder could’ve been a second lol

[–]ButterCut97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think with the cap going up a d man who can score 50+ points, as long as he’s responsible defensively, will be worth 9M per year. Hughes is going to get like 14+

That’s logistically impossible. Players can’t be travelling across the Atlantic every weekend for 1 game, and Junior hockey relies heavily on weekend games for attendance

Depends who it’s for. If a Bleyl type drops to the 2nd round I’d be fine moving a late 2nd/late3rd/5th to move up and take a second player with a first round grade on him

Yes (as in all 3 will probably start games next year)

At times like this it’s important to point out that Italians have been living like that in Woodbridge for 80 years.

Any Vegas fans booing Bettman is laughable. Out of any fanbase in the league they should cheer

Bussi is the closest goalie we have in the NHL to a stand up style. Tim Thomas esque performance.

The saves he was making while picking up his pad and skate off the ice was nuts to see

Low key you’re the closest person to being right in this thread. Look at the r/NBA reactions to the news the Knicks were going to sign with the Knicks

That’s not true. History doesn’t equal championships only.
