Yeahno, Marleau is completely done.

Loui is a still a decent 3rd-liner/PK-guy on some teams.

Also any team that traded for Marleau had to buy him out.

Also, Dubas.
Different situations - the Leaves have a top young player they need to sign and zero cap space. The Nucks have the cap space to bury Loui if needed. They aren't in a bind like the Leaves were - at least they won't be until the new contracts for Quinn and Petey come up in 2 years.
Yes they are different situations. Marleau is only signed for one more year, while the Air Thief is signed for three. Sure he is only owed 9 million over three years but he still is owed 18 on the cap. No GM is likely to piss away 6 million of cap annually on a player to throw three hits and play some of the most uninspiring hockey anyone has ever seen. Not without a significant sweetener. That lazy prick is poison to young players and any team that takes him on would appear to have little interest in winning anytime soon. These clowns that think he can be traded for an asset on his own are out to lunch.
I was thinking more along the lines of Loui either retiring or being buried in the minors. I agree I don’t too many teams taking in that contract without a sweetener, perhaps Ottawa given Melnyk is a cheap prick and he needs to spend another $13 million or so to get to the cap.

Bury him, let him retire, trade him - he won’t be around any longer I don’t think.

No, if he retires his whole cap hit is gone. It's only if a player signs his deal over age 35 that you keep the cap hit.
Yes I know. What I’m asking is if he retires after his bonus is paid. It means he will have been paid a substantial amount towards next season. Are you saying we don’t get a cap hit for that?

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear Jim and LE already have an agreement in place come July 1st. Either Louie agrees to retire following his bonus payment, or a trade is pre-approved with another club.

Regardless, we've seen the last of Louie Eriksson in a Canuck uni.

I'm wondering... with surplus of forwards, could Jim trade 2-for-1 forwards for defencemen? Are there any teams that need forward depth that would give a serviceable d-man in exchange? He could essentially 'overpay' to get the deal done. If some of these guys might get lost to waivers anyway, at least you get some value out of them.

Nobody’s blamed anyone. Some of us have seen the track record and automatically assume the worst. :lol:

No, no other cap hit - there's no recapture or anything like that on contracts since around 2014 if I remember correctly. The rule was changed whenever they added in the max contract length at 7 years (FA) or 8 years (your own FA).

The $6 million annual cap hit takes the bonus into account, it's immaterial when it's paid for cap purposes. For real cash it's a big thing though, as a team like the Sens could pick him up at a $6 million cap hit but only $3 million in real dollars so they get a free $3 million to get to the cap floor.

I agree he's gone, I really just hope that retirement is what he chooses. The extra $6 million would be a nice thing to have assuming Jimbo spends it wisely. :shock:

There are teams who would do that, but the issue is always whether what you are getting in return is going to be an upgrade or worth it.

Chicago needs forwards and is D heavy, but some might argue they are probably busy planning Seabrook's career ending injury, pointing out (completely unsubstantiated) rumors that he's been wearing Hossa's pads.

The Avalanche want to move Zadorov. And they'd probably ask for Virtanen and Gaudette. Those are the two players with some untapped upside that can play in the NHL now and if they don't get better, that's okay.

And so JB has to say, okay, I get that you want some player who might grow. But you need a 3C right now. Sutter is your guy....

And Burnaby Joe hangs up.

I doubt the NHL would allow Loui to keep his bonus money if he retires.

Such a thing has never happened and I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the CBA that covers it.

The NFL went through this with Barry Sanders when he retired in 1999.

It had never happened in the NFL and nothing in the CBA.

In the end NFL saw to it that Sanders returned the signing bonus.
