Amberite Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yea, not sure what to say on this one... First Brodeur, now Salvador. I guess we're really trying to reach that cap floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 i don't want to hear any of this "in lou we trust" bullsh!t. this is simply terrible. lou has been awful this post season. sal for 3 fvcking years?! there is no place for him. obviously someone is getting dealt but still. to let poni walk over 1.8 and hand this out is ludicrous.

devilsrule33 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This is what I thought would happen. Lou just has all the respect in the world for Salvador. I just don't get what this means for Larsson. 3 fvcking years. Uhhhhhh. I didn't think it be NJ that got caught paying for Salvador's fluke offensive playoff run.

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Say hello to the new captain if Zach leaves. All they did was talk about what a great leader he was and how great he was for the locker room. He's a Lou type player. i don't want to hear any of this "in lou we trust" bullsh!t. this is simply terrible. lou has been awful this post season. sal for 3 fvcking years?! there is no place for him. obviously someone is getting dealt but still. to let poni walk over 1.8 and hand this out is ludicrous. Well, Salvador waited and Poni didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Dumb, dumb, dumb. Once Fayne is signed, that's 8 defenseman. Like someone said, if he retires after a concussion, the cap hit stays. The only positive I can think of is that it keeps last year's group together, which is better ammunition to keep Zach. 2 years would have been iffy. But 3??? Jeez.

Zubie#8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) We need a shutdown defenseman like Sal. Volchenkov was all over the place last season. But that contract Edited July 3, 2012 by Zubie#8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach was a very big fan of Salvador, especially last off season when Zach suggested Sal should be captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 There are no horrendous deals if you're not going to the cap. I do think it's funny that they're supposed to be desperately broke but are overpaying everyone. Shoalts looks like a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of horrendous deals if you are not going to the cap - that is one of the dumber things I've ever heard you say, and you don't say dumb stuff.

Zubie#8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) There are no horrendous deals if you're not going to the cap. Thats what I am thinking, the Cap does not matter at all its the actual money this team can spend. Edited July 3, 2012 by Zubie#8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah this certainly seems to be a 'reward' type deal, which, as we've seen, has no place in the NHL after the implementation of the salary cap. This is a deal we'll all be hating two years from now when he's either retired or a healthy scratch. Question for those who might know: If a player retires, is he owed anything by the team? The ONLY pro-Lou way of spinning this is that he's hoping Brodeur, Moose, and Salvador retire after this year, so their cap hits stay on yet the team would owe them no money (thus cheaply getting the team to the cap floor next year). Although I'm sure there are tons of holes in that theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Question for those who might know: If a player retires, is he owed anything by the team? No. When someone retires, they forfeit the remaining money on the contract. However, with the over 35 contract, the team's cap hit remains for the original contract length.
