Thread: Rebuild Incoming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sprak</b></div><div>This is impossible because teams can't go more than 10% over the cap in the offseason. Also, you forgot about Malenstyn and the fact that Leonard said he's going back to BC</div></div>

I mentioned this in one of your other threads, but this isn't true according to CapFriendly's own FAQ on LTIR.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div><strong>Can LTIR be used in the off-season?</strong>
Yes, LTIR can be used in the off-season while the 10% off-season cushion is active. LTIR in the off-season is calculated using the basic equation outlined above, which permits a team to exceed the off-season salary cap. To use off-season LTIR the team must provide doctors proof that the player in question will continue to be injured at the beginning of the regular season for 10 NHL games and 24 calendar days.

At the start of the season the teams LTIR relief &amp; ACSL is recalculated when the 10% cushion is removed.</div>

With Backstrom and Oshie on LTIR they effectively don't count towards the 10% cushion overage.

Thread: Has this idea been explored
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>That's great and all but their time has passed. Barzal, Dobson and Sorokin are about all that should be left of this roster. Other teams are just going to pass them by and they're never going to be legit contenders again. They don't have any prospects coming up, no cap space to make a big signing, basically just stuck being a mid level team who will only luck into a playoff spot just to be gone 5 games later.

Next season you likely see NJ, Ottawa, Buffalo and Detroit all pass them. Two years and Columbus is likely passing them, Montreal likely passes them the year after. In three years they're likely a lottery team anyways, why waste Barzal and Dobson's prime years</div></div>

I agree that the Devils should pass us but for the other 3 teams everybody’s been saying this for the past 3 years. At some point those teams need to prove it instead of people just looking at their roster before every season and saying they’ve improved. Not to say it won’t happen this year but more likely than not I’d have the Isles making the playoffs then the other teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>If Ehlers agrees to an extension then Isles would need to add and they don't have the pieces that Winnipeg would want.

Also, what a horrible idea it would be for Lou to give up more assets for a team that is literally going no where in the standings. Horrible prospect pool, aging roster and fans seem to think they should just continue down this path. Honestly don't get it</div></div>

Simply put you try to remain competitive for as long as you can. Everyone loves to say, tear it down and rebuild, but there are countless examples of teams then spending a decade stuck in lottery hell. Some of the Isles core is aging and they need an injection, but they do have at least 5 legit all-star level players and aren't as far as many think.

Thread: DeMelo and Levshunov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cadyn</b></div><div>Do you know Dylan DeMelo personally, and has he told you what kind of team he would sign with in free agency? Otherwise, it’s pointless to speculate with what kind of team he wants to sign with. Like OP said, the same thing could have been said about Killorn/Gudas, yet they signed there on multi-year deals…</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>*money has entered the chat*</div></div>
Los Angeles finished 6th out of 8 in the division in the pandemic-shortened 2020-2021 season, 7 games out of the playoffs. That off-season, Phillip Danault signed with the Kings for 6 seasons at $5.5 million. Sometimes, players go where they'll fit best and expect to succeed.
