SS-SS Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 TGfireandice Tom GulittiThat $925,000 figure, includes the signing bonus, so that is the cap hit for Larsson if he's in the NHL. Damn !!!! that's really impressive !!!!! :koolaid: :koolaid: :koolaid: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsfknnikp Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 so what does this leave us to sign Parise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberite Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Simply unbelievable. Makes RNH's signing look downright stupid. Is anyone still questioning Lou's negotiation tactics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 There has to be a trade coming now. Volchenkov, White, Tallinder, Greene, Larsson, Fayne, Urbom, Taormina, Corrente and Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharifijanov2099 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very cool. This means he can play in the NHL, really, if he looks good in camp, but won't necessarily play in the NHL. Gives us good flexibility with him without having to gut someone else. Still, I am hoping for some kind of cash dump trade to allow for a great Parise contract, but in the mean time, this is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 so what does this leave us to sign Parise? I don't know the exact figure, but a lot more than we all thought having Larsson on the team would, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Larsson has been in the organization 5 minutes and he's already pouring Kool-Aid for people. fvckin' A baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-SS Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Simply unbelievable. Makes RNH's signing look downright stupid. Is anyone still questioning Lou's negotiation tactics? +1 Just incredible. TG tweeted that Lou never included performance bonuses in an entry level contract with any player, but we never drafted this high (a player who was supposed to be top 2) since a very longtime. and maybe Salvador Nah...Salvador is going nowhere after not playing this past season.

Volchenkov, White, Tallinder, Greene, Larsson, Fayne, Urbom, Taormina, Corrente and Fraser (and maybe Salvador) is 11 D-men. I reckon you are right about a trade, seeing how 8 is prob the max we'd carry at the NHL level, however, it's also possible/probable that Corrente and Fraser play in the AHL, and Salvador doesn't return, bringing the number to 8.

StormJosh Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 signing bonuses are built into the contract. he will receive $925,000 per season, and $92,500 of that is a signing bonus paid on july 1 (i think) each year. the thing about most of the performance bonuses is that they are near impossible to attain. Thank you kindly for your unbelievable knowledge of contract structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrente is waiver-eligible, I don't think they would want to risk sending him through, 'cause I'm not sure that he would make it. Fraser is waiver-eligible but I think the Devils have to offer him a one-way contract after last year and if he got through, that'd be it. I think neither Fraser nor NJ wants to be playing in Albany next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 There has to be a trade coming now. Volchenkov, White, Tallinder, Greene, Larsson, Fayne, Urbom, Taormina, Corrente and Fraser. Been saying the same thing for months now...and you forgot Salvador Volchenkov, White, Tallinder have no trade Greene obviously a starter Leaving 2 spots left for Larsson, Fayne, Urbom, Taormina, Corrente and Fraser and Salvador Realistically Salavdor going to AHL, and Taormina and Fayne making the top 6 Fraser filed for Arbitration so he will be sent to the Gulag Archeplegos and I am guessing #7 will be Corrente or Urbom Maybe Larsson starts in AHL until a convenient injury occurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its almost guaranteed he's on the team this year. I think Lou dangling that for him was a big reason for accepting a deal without bonuses.

I think Lou dangling that for him was a big reason for accepting a deal without bonuses. i don't think that's a guarantee, he will have to outplay the people ahead of him on the depth chart. the guarantee is that if he does so, he will have a spot on the team.

Mitico12 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 no individual bonuses means he's probably going to play here this year. swedes definitely drink the lou-aid. Money isn't everything. As a 22-year old without any NHL experience, almost $1 million per year is very good coin. Let's say he signs for $3 million per (as many people on this board predicted), that price tag comes with huge expectations, no? I'm sure the Devils will pay his room and board too, so that $1 mil is almost all in the bank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that's why I said "almost" guaranteed. You said it was probable that he doesn't play in the NHL this year, but I think it's a lot more likely than unlikely. With this kind of deal, the Devils have no reason to hold him back from the NHL if he's able to keep up, and I'm sure that was discussed in the negotiations.

Daniel Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) this isn't an addition. this signing was expected all along, and it's at least probable that he doesn't play in the NHL this year. Since it's such a low cap hit, if he impresses enough in the preseason, he's making the team. EDIT: Just saw you made the same point.
