King Knut Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So I know Cap Geek is gone, but I was looking elsewhere at teams around the league kind of randomly and it looks as though the Coyotes have only 9 players under contract for next season. Only five of which are under contract beyond next season and only two for more than two seasons. They're $40 million under the cap. Seriously. These guys HAVE to be willing to take Vinny and Mac!

Assuming VLC waives his NMC's to play in Arizona?If so, it is a logical destination, provided he does not mind playing in Tippett's chip and chase because we don't have enough talent system. The cap is 51 million or so, and Arizona will spend about to rock bottom of the cap, including bonuses. So they are about 18 million. The logical thing they have been doing most years is signing cheap, short term contracts to UFA's nobody else wants too badly just to get to cap floor. Expect guys like Mezaros, Briere, Stafford, etc to sign short deals. VLC's years remaining might be short enough, but McDud being paid 500k less than OEL for 4-5 years won't go over well.

poneill27 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 They should take Pronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Assuming VLC waives his NMC's to play in Arizona? Please God let this happen........buh bye. That could be 4+mill they can use else where.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So they are about 18 million. I think they finished the year with about 16 mill in capspace....to bad the can't roll that over like the NFL does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 @J0e Th0rnton I expect Stafford to re-sign with the Jets...guy is a total professional, the perfect choice to show the Jets fine young crop of kids the right way to do things. All comes down to term I guess, but I'm sure he Jets will push hard to sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be opposed to the sharks taking a shot at picking him up to play with Couture/Marleau on the 2nd line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 @J0e Th0rnton I'm not to sure about Frolik....he was demoted off a line during the playoffs....I would suspect if Stafford goes back to the Jets, they will let Frolik walk....if Stafford leaves, the Jets might be interested in Frolik staying...at least, that's the way I see it.

RJ8812 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They should take Pronger.I think this happens before anyone takes on Vinny or MacDud's contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 http://stats.nhlnumbers.com/teams/ARI?year=2015 Looks like 13 guys under contract with seven RFAs that saw time this year. That team scares no one, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If you factor in an average raise of 20% for their RFAs, that's 9 millionish under the current floor with 3 roster spots left. While I'd like to think they could be a trade target for unloading Pronger's contract, or possibly VLC, I don't know enough about the new ownership's financial situation to draw a conclusion as to whether they are going to want to make a cap-floor move (VLC isn't even a cap floor move until next year when his salary drops to 3 million).

King Knut Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 (VLC isn't even a cap floor move until next year when his salary drops to 3 million). His salary drops but does his cap hit? I thought that stayed the same throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap hit always stays the same, but having a higher cap hit than actual salary is beneficial for cap floor teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
