Thread: New 3v3 league with 30m salary cap

I honestly think people are over reacting to this. I saw people comparing it to LIV vs PGA. 30m is not a huge amount for 14 players, it's a much lower cap to player ratio than the NHL. It'll likely appeal to late 20's high production AHLers that couldn't translate to the NHL and maybe some goalie prospects caught in a depth chart roadblock. Most players will recognize that moving to this league will likely kill their NHL potential as the game is functionally different from 5v5 and I don't think the salary opportunities are worth it save for maybe a handful of replaceable middle sixers. Plus I don't think the league will gain a strong enough foothold to be seen as more than a gimmick and become profitable

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Lukas Reichel (2 Years / $1,200,000 AAV)

Was wondering if he'd push for a one year deal. Nice to see the 2 year deal, less pressure on Reichel to perform this year and gives the Hawks more time to figure out what exactly they have in Reichel

Valid, but in 8 years when the cap hit bottoms out at 1.13m, that could be equal to just a league minimum contract or possibly below league minimum.

I feel like its gotten past the point where one or two big games shuts people up, though. They need to win the series with Marner playing great the next three games or else it's going to be "why wasn't he doing this from the start" and "can you trust this Marner to show up next year and risk wasting another season"

A bit of sticker shock at first but Flyers have money, are still rebuilding, and now have just $4.7m committed to goalies for the next 2 years. But above all else, 3.25 is going to feel like a lot less next year and even more so in 2 years with the cap rising,

I just think the narrative is over blown. All those guys have been relatively successful through most of their careers and become focal points because their last stints end poorly. There's definitely coaches that get an opportunity just because they've been around the block a few times but there's a large (or just vocal) group that frames that as the default approach of GMs or that its a significant road block to first time HCs which just isn't true

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>TBF, most of the 'rehashed coaches' are the same coaches constantly getting fired</div></div>

All the current head coaches on their 3rd or more head coaching job:

Peter DeBoer (DAL)
Paul Maurice (FLA)
John Hynes (MIN)
Peter Laviolette (NYR)
John Tortorella (PHI)
Rick Tocchet (VAN)
Bruce Cassidy (VGK)
Jacques Martin (OTT)
Rick Bowness (WPG)

6 cup contenders, 1 who brought a 'rebuilding' team to the brink of playoffs and might get some Jack Adams consideration, and 2 that took over sinking ships mid season

They may get fired a lot but its hard to argue that they shouldn't be head coaches

Thread: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #5: The Final Stretch

Buffalo firing Don Granato and it looks like they want to find an experienced coach as the replacement.

Since I always get annoyed when people cry about 'rehashed coaches' here's a list of current coaches who were never head coaches before their current tenure:

Greg Cronin (ANA)
André Tourigny (ARZ)
Ryan Huska (CGY)
Rod Brind'Amour (CAR)
Luke Richardson (CHI)
Jared Bednar (COL)
Pascal Vincent (CBJ)
Derek Lalonde (DET)
Kris Knoblauch (EDM)
Martin St. Louis (MTL)
Andrew Brunette (NSH) - previously interim in FLA
Jon Cooper (TBL)
Sheldon Keefe (TOR)
Spencer Carbery (WSH)

Plus Interims
Jim Hiller (LAK)
Drew Bannister (STL)

That's roughly half the league who have only coached one team and a large chunk of the other half is only on their second team.

Thread: (CHI/NSH) - Beauvillier for 2024 5th (NSH)

This feels more like Hawks opening up a roster spot more than anything else. AA will be activated off IR Saturday, Nazar likely signs once the college season ends, and I believe they still plan on recalling Reichel at some point before the season ends

Also probably helps that there's only 3 games today vs 12 tomorrow. Not that a gameday would prevent a move from happening but I'd bet teams prefer to get business done on off days

Thread: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #4: Deadline is Approaching

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>This had to have been a deal between the player and team. Maybe Tarasenko committed to coming back to Ottawa as a free agent or he signed under the condition they trade him to his destination of choice if the time came.
Otherwise, while the "something is better than nothing" might be a factor, a new GM selling that low on a player is bad business. He's setting a pretty low bar for future negotiations.
If all Florida was offering was a 3rd and 4th, I would have waited until the deadline for them to make a better offer or simply kept the player. I'd rather lose out on the 3rd than help a team that lowballed me.</div></div>

Doesn't need any kind of deal really. He has a NTC and can basically say he'll only waive for FLA and he's not re-signing in OTT. Nothing Ottawa can do at that point and a 3rd is probably just enough value to take the loss and swallow their pride. He got his NTC and he used it
