Thread: Tavares marner waive
I was just responding in general.

“Rebuilding teams set themselves up to have cap space”

A team like Detroit or Ottawa might because they are turning competitive and maybe sign competitive free agents not the second worst team in the league and next year they’ll probably still be bottom 5 regardless.

Lets play this out. The hawks have 34 mil in cap which is 11 mil under the minimum are you telling me a bottom 3 team in the league is going to spend north of 20 mil in the off season? No. So you’re telling me with the left over cap they aren’t spending anyway a 1 year 11 mil is gonna do anything to them. So it doesn’t affect them at all but on top of that they get 2 young players who could turn to nothing or role players and a 3rd. A third that you get for taking players that aren’t affecting you in anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>If you think having cap space means we are giving up anything for him, you are very sorely mistaken. Having cap space means we are one of VERY FEW teams who CAN take his contract but very little need for one year of an aging overpaid underperforming player. Without retention and/or a VERY favorable extension, JT is a negative asset. No one is paying to help TOR with their cap issues. TOR will have to pay to move him, if he is even willing to waive in the first place. Get used to the idea of him not waiving and then walking away next summer or taking a team friendly deal to retire in TOR.</div></div>

First of all This is literaly just assuming if he waived that’s the whole point of this. Second not saying giving u cap is good but u have more then enough space to take him and we’re paying u a third to take it and it doesn’t affect u at all there’s no downside to them taking this deal at all and u get a third for FREE. Why don’t u take this deal? A third to take cap space that u aren’t even using. Ur acting like ur a competing team
