The_Admiral Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 God knows they have the cap space to do it, but as long as he doesn't get stupid David Clarkson money, that's a solid move for the Ducks. I wonder who they'll add with their buckets of space. The free agency market sucks, but the trade market is ripe. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Well the Ducks have always had an internal cap under the current owners, so I don't know how much space they actually have.And, I haven't seen anything here about it, but the Ducks will have "tagging" problems next offseason because of a lot of players getting off entry level deals and lower contracts, so I don't know how much they'll want to spend this year.I had never heard of tagging before, but it's basically you can't have more money commited to the next season than the current season's salary cap and you only have a certain amount of money based on how many contracts are expiring.... Or something."What it really comes down to, it's a combination of expiring contracts and the cap room that you have," McNab said. "That gives you a pot of money. We have a lot of players whose contracts are expiring that don't equal a lot of money. That gives you an amount of money that you can spend on extending players out. Let's say you have $20 million in expiring contracts, you can extend X amount of players by $20 million dollars out over the season. But that's starting July 1, all the way up to next June 30."I don't entirely get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 With a championship window open and presumably a lot of revenue coming in off last year, they'd be stupid not to load up. I fully expect them to offer-sheet Brandon Saad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Saad would be nice, but if we're targeting Blackhawks, I'll take Seabrook. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 If this was a UFA situation, the only team I'd worry about Saad going to is Pittsburgh, but I'm doubting he'll even see an offer sheet. Bowman is probably already drawing up a bridge contract, but I'm just pissing into the wind here. He's not going anywhere.Richards will probably be back on a similar, if not smaller 1 year deal. Kruger will get a modest raise. Sharp reportedly will be out sometime this week. Seabrook is a coin flip. Bickell's money will hopefully be off the books to help them out, but he's an anchor that'll require something actually tangible like a Raanta or Sharp.

The_Admiral Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Reading about what a leader Seabrook is in the dressing room and the fact that we only have three veteran defensemen under contract, I'm going to say Seabrook is safe for the time being. I know he's frustrating at times, but I don't want a blue line full of rookies. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hey, so, random thought: Is Scott Darling a former CCSLCer? There used to be a poster on here who was a goalie and who played for Team Illinois AAA - which Darling also played for. And Darling's pads give the impression of someone who likes the aesthetics of the game.

The_Admiral Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 There was definitely that goalie for the Sharks who posted here. I don't remember an Illinois goalie posting here. I'm like two degrees of separation from Scott Darling myself, though -- he played on a junior team with an old next-door neighbor of mine. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 In a good example of learning how to suck less, San Jose has finally dropped both Scotts - Hannan and goal-scoring phenom John - off the roster and jettisoned bag of excrement Adam Burish along side them. Puzzling why it took them so long to make these necessary moves, but as DW can tell you, coke is a hell of a drug.

OnWis97 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Mike Ribeiro is a festering pile of sub-humanity who uses his insatiable thirst for drugs as an excuse for sexually assaulting his 18-year-old nanny as she lay in a bed next to his children.I was just going to post this, maybe not it the same tone though.http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2015/6/19/8812037/mike-ribeiro-sexual-assault-case-details-allegationsPerds gonna PerdActually, this is one time you want to use "pred" instead of "perd."

monkeypower Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Beleskey is expected to re-sign with the Ducks prior to July 1 per Craig Custance and Dave Nonis is expected to join the Ducks as a senior advisor per Steve Simmons.Scratch that.(Reportedly) Beleskey is going free agency after immediately rejecting a (reported) 4yr/4mill contract.As much as I like Beleskey, a player coming off a career high total of 32 points commanding north of 4M doesn't bode well for the strong FA pool this year.Clarkson 2.0?
