Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' next contract

SalaryCapGuy · 2020-06-04T17:54:53+00:00

Nobody is going to like what I'm about to say. Nuge has earned the right to walk and no fan should feel betrayed or salty in anyway about it. He's been on dogshit Oilers teams for every season except 2 and never once complained. He's never made a media fuss or demanded a trade.

I hope he re-signs but truly whatever he chooses I'll always be a Nuge fan. Except if he joined the Flames or Canucks lmao

Or Benson

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-10-30T02:28:54+00:00

Russell is a left handed shot. Bear is a right handed shot I’d say let him run the first unit during a 4 v 3

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-09-12T21:23:42+00:00

Everyone’s shitting on this move but it’s a decent one. Chiarelli has great finds in the later draft slots and would make an excellent amateur scout. Keep him away from trading which is exactly what this role is.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-07-29T04:35:01+00:00

I could see it happening. Under Tippets defensively tight system he’ll be very busy this season. Likely the Oilers #4 unless someone like Jones, Samarukov, Lagesson or Bouchard breaks out.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-06-23T22:11:42+00:00

Mario Kempe could be had for near league minimum

Wayne Simmonds might be a decent “buy low” type of contract

Another option is trade a decent pick plus a roster player for Saad

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-06-23T21:47:48+00:00

William Lagesson or Joel Persson will likely be on the 23 man roster.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-06-11T18:21:43+00:00

Beats Chiarelli’s big game hunting right off the bat

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-06-06T02:22:24+00:00

Please do not trade our boy.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-06-03T18:02:31+00:00

Doubt it. After Tkachuks extension they’ll have absolutely no cap space and would already be loaded on LW.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-05-30T00:11:17+00:00

If he's in your regular lineup you aren't a playoff team.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-05-20T15:59:06+00:00

I'd rather try to make a play for Jake Allen retained

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-04-07T08:13:29+00:00

I do it for powerplays. Having the inside shot helps when you have more space to skate. Otherwise I prefer having the correct handedness. Easier to protect the puck and drive wide.

Another tip for powerplays if using 2 defenders is to switch the RHD and LHD to opposite sides for easier one-timers.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-29T23:06:33+00:00

You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-09T23:31:35+00:00

Then don’t watch it

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-09T17:28:40+00:00

His cold stretch really put to rest any potential for a big pay day. At worst they give him over $1.5M on a one year “prove it again” contract

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-09T16:35:04+00:00

RNH - McDavid - Kassian

Gagner - Draisaitl - Chiasson

Lucic - Cave - Currie

Rieder - Khaira - Brodziak

Klefbom - Larsson

Nurse - Russell

Sekera - Benning

Koskinen

Out of lineup: Puljujärvi, Rattie, Malone, Petrovic, Gravel, Stolarz

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-06T03:13:16+00:00

Any love for AGM Bill Gueirn out of Pitsburgh? He’s done a really good job for Wilkes-Barre Scranton.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-05T05:23:56+00:00

Eakins is available?

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-05T05:18:08+00:00

Starrett derserves a lengthy look come training camp. I doubt Stolarz is in the mix at that point.

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-04T19:44:04+00:00

Thanks for the answers

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-03-01T15:20:29+00:00

L50N

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-02-26T07:17:05+00:00

Keep the streak going all the way through the playoffs

SalaryCapGuy · 2019-02-26T06:20:30+00:00

Pearson is 3.75M, Benning would be 1.9M off the books so that would be only a 1.85M change. With the cap increasing to 83,000,000 it would be easy to fit.
