IanRees Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Apparently the Kings are seriously considering a trade for Sam Gagner, makes no sense to me. Parkinglot, does he play wing at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Apparently the Kings are seriously considering a trade for Sam Gagner, makes no sense to me. Parkinglot, does he play wing at all? He's a much better RW than centre. He's been most productive at RW over his career, and played there almost his entire rookie season, which was a great year for him.

IanRees Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That makes even less sense to me, we need a LW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchardoswald Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Canucks traded Weise for Diaz today. It's a nice stopgap move with Bieksa, Tanev and Weber out. Hopefully it gives us more freedom to deal Edler or Hamuis at the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Callahan wants 6.5 to 7 mil. Apparently the Sabres will pay that. Also apparently both the Sabres and Ryan Callahan are retarded. Because no fucking way is that guy worth that money. Career high 29 goals ( 54 pts)......and he wants Richards money (career high 91 points). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanchardoswald Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 caps going up, get used to players making way more money than they should. The low Canadian dollar could seriously affect the cap going up this year, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The low Canadian dollar could seriously affect the cap going up this year, apparently. its already set to go up to 72 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchardoswald Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 its already set to go up to 72 million That was before the dollar's drop. The NHL could potentially loose 50-60 mil if it stays that low, which would obviously affect the cap. Nothing's set until the season ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 havent seen anything recently about that, That was before the dollar's drop. The NHL could potentially loose 50-60 mil if it stays that low, which would obviously affect the cap. Nothing's set until the season ends the NHL isnt going to go into the red on the season, they'll just have a pool of hockey related revenue that would be less than projected. they'll still be making a profit. the board of governors know this, they also know that the value of the dollar goes up and down all the time, so it'll be a matter of time before it corrects itself. unless your economy is doing worse than is being publicized?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/hockey/opinion/2014/01/nhl-gms-deal-with-double-trade-deadline.html huh, interesting! . I asked a couple of capologists what they think a 90-cent Canadian dollar (or lower) will do to next year's cap ceiling. Both said it's not insignificant. One predicted it could drop the total by $1 million, while the other said he ran a model that put it closer to $1.5 million. Something to keep an eye on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 so with that info the cap would be between 69.5 - 70 million next season. still a fairly strong increase from 64.3 million this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchardoswald Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I wasn't clear, but I meant the NHL would loose 50-60 milliom from the dollar, they'll obviously still turn a profit overall. For some context, yes our dollar does fluctuate tons, but it usually stays around par for the most part. Right now, it's below .90 to the US dollar. Canadian clubs are a large portion of the revenue for the league, and revenue is based off US dollars. That means a $100 ticket is now essentially a $90 ticket. The cap will go up, definitely, but it could be a fair bit lower than expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Richards isn't worth Richards money. When the deal was signed he was. And this season he's proving he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When the deal was signed he was. And this season he's proving he is. Couldnt figure out if he was talking about Brad or MIke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanchardoswald Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Torts just told the media the team needs to make player changes. I don't know if I've ever had a coach say they want trades to the media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
