Even if you went to to the top of the 1st plus 3rd level which is $6,871,374 I suspect New Jersey matches. So then you're up to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 8 million to get an offer they consider walking from.

Dallas wants the flexibility after Benn contract is up.

FWiW - Sources said Calgary wasn’t retaining on Laine but instead eating someone’s contract for the season. I don’t know who. Columbus was being asked to eat as much as 50% by some teams.

Upcoming UFAs for MTL:
Armia
Dvorak
Evans
Savard

My guess would have been Dvorak, Flames have been linked prior. And 4m is a big cap hit.

[dammage79]

If it was Dallas that the Flames were going to eat a contract, well there's a list:
Benn
Dadanov
Duchene
Steel
Lindell
B.Smith
Blackwell

Love this kind of stuff. Always fascinating to see the hows and what's of what didn't happen, where as the details on trades that did happen always come out later.

I think Maloney also drafted Dvorak with the Coyotes so there is some familiarity there

I don’t think Dvorak has negative value though. I can see him returning a late 2nd at the deadline if he is healthy and has an average season.

The ink isn't even dry on the contract he just signed.

[sureLoss]

Sounds like Sillinger is close to signing with CBJ

Yeah, I laughed at that, too. We just signed this guy for the upcoming season, what will ANYONE do to get him off our team!!??!!

[BigThief]

Duchene makes three million and just came off a 25 goal 65 point season ; he brings incredible value.

[Toonage]

lol does anyone actually do a bit of research or just go to PuckPedia or wherever and look up highest cap hits per team?

"Man, maybe we can get a sweetener to take Matthews off Toronto's hands. Look at that cap hit!"

Well gee whizz lord Toonage, forgive me for the mistep!

[TheIronMaiden]

Really fun that there is so much off season stuff happening this week.

[Bonded]

Philly terminating Johansen’s contract. I wonder how much they will have to pay in a settlement.

This has all of the Mike Richards feels.

Anybody heard a Coleman rumour?

I hope you’re hearing more than just the Toronto rumours - because that seems like wishful Toronto thinking with no bases.

This is why CP is the authority

[Toonage]

Theres nothing out there about Coleman

[Atodaso]

This one?

Leafs get:
Blake Coleman $1.9m retention

Flames get:
David Kampf
Conor Timmins
Semyon Der-Arguchintsev
2027 second-round pick

It's not very thrilling, imo.
