Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Also Lecavalier has stated he's retiring at the end of this season. So no salary will carry forth past this season for the Kings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Every that constantly b****es about Ken Holland, be thankful you're not a Flyers fan... #Flyers' buried / retained salary is astronomical: Vinny ($2.25M), MacDonald ($3.975M), Schenn ($1.8M), Gagner ($2.25M), Grossmann ($500K). That's absolutely insane... Nearly 11M in unusable cap space... 2 TheXym and e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Johanssen for Seth Jones... Good deal for both teams imo Jones still has a lot to prove could backfire but looks like a good hockey deal Edited January 6, 2016 by joesuffP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 6, 2016 Wow... I agree it is definitely a "hockey deal". Not sure who wins this in the end, good trade for both teams, but I think Columbus may come out on top of this one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's absolutely insane... Nearly 11M in unusable cap space... We have this thanks to our genius GM: Weiss missing tooth out of work buyout 15 mil Howard backup goalie 4 more years 20 mil Tootoo playing in Jersey buyout 4 mil Ericsson 3 more years 15 mil Kindl sitting in the pressbox 1 more year 2.5 mil Cleary in the minors 1.5 mil There are about 3 other bad contracts, but those were all fairly understandable at the time. Our GM is the king of not knowing what he's doing. 2 GMRwings1983 and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 Wow. Ryan Johansson for Seth Jones as well. Thats quite the trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 For us to make that move it would be Larkin after he's played 2-3 seasons and proven to be "elite". Which proves we don't have the assets currently to go for a #1 defensemen. Guess that's why Holland kicks tires Us dumping Ericsson would be the equivalent of what PHI got for Schenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 Weiss didn't work out. It sucks we had to buy him out but it happens to every team in the league. Howard has been great up until this recent stretch. He will need to be traded within the next year or so though. You're really bringing up Tootoo? If he were still here, you'd have a point. Holland made good on that buyout. Ericsson is slightly overpaid but not near as bad as some make it seem. The Kindl deal sucks but again, there are many other much worse contracts around the league. Cleary is a Griffin, not a Red Wing. Nothing against our cap. Holland isn't perfect, nor is any other GM in the league. There may be a few doing a better job right now, but I have no issue with the way Kenny is managing this team. Once again rebuilding on the fly. Be patient... 3 kliq, PavelValerievichDatsyuk and e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 Wow. Ryan Johansson for Seth Jones as well. Thats quite the trade Saw that coming for a while now. I was at the CBJ vs. Minny game last night and Johansen passed the puck to a Wild player about 6 or 7 times. He even horribly lost the faceoff that allowed the 2nd Minnesota empty-netter. It was pretty clear that he didn't want to be in Columbus anymore. I haven't watched much of Seth Jones but he was so highly touted coming into the draft that I'm sure he just needs some more playing time and development to become a steal for the Jackets.

Nevermind 363 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) How does Nashville develop 3 franchise defensemen in the time we've developed Ericsson4 actually: Suter, Weber, Josi and Jones. Suter and Jones were early draft picks, so we can't really compare. But Josi and Weber were second rounders.Meanwhile, our first round picks, Kindl and Smith, will likely be healthy scratches when everyone's healthy.

Nevermind 363 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Luck I disagree. We clearly have trouble identifying hockey sense in young defensemen. Otherwise, you could call our success in drafting smaller, undersized European forwards luck as well. By sucking. Remember who we got the last time we sucked? Lidstrom and Konstantinov. Lidstrom and Konstantinov were picked 53rd and 221st overall, respectively. Any team could have drafted them.
