thats how much you pay him but his salary cap hit remains the same

it's the nhl's way of preventing salary cap strapped teams from re-signing all their good players for dirt cheap and paying them 11ty billion more the following season because they have 25M in cap space instead of 10M

chouinard got bought out. it's a different situation altogether.


multi year contracts are calculated on an average basis. lecavalier has a $85m contract over 11 years. average is $7.72m, so for the next 11 years, that will be the number on their salary cap contribution table.

the bright side is that you have a superstar who's willing to invest the remainder of his career in your organization, which helps bring new talent in. the downside is that the nhl has a lot of years to take a downward spiral in revenue which could really fuck over the organization (with regards to salary commitments). he also has a no movement clause, which means he can't even be put on waivers.

So there hasn't been any updates from the Canucks for a while...


I really hope that we get Sundin.. I got a text form TSN and thought Sundin signed somewhere but nope. Just a parting way of coaches.

Not quite half, I think it's 2/3's of the remaining salary spread over the number of years of the contract. Chouinard signed for 2 years at 1.1m each year and was bought out after one so he had 1.1m remaining on his contract, 2/3's of that was divided over a 2 year period for the cap hit of 0.367m

If Lecavalier got bought out after the 9th year, he would have 2.5m remaining on his contract, his buyout would be 1.667m (2/3's of 2.5m) / 11 years, so 151.5k of cap hit each year for 11 years

Lol... Rick Ball doing home games on TEAM1040 for Canucks, Joey Kenward (Giants play by play) doing away games.

So this Jason Krog guy is 32 years old????

Yep he aint a rookie

how long is gillis gonan wait for sundin?

Is it official then that Shorty is doing play by play for sportsnet then?

I think he's gonna wait until Sundin makes an official decision.

Didn't they make an announcement on it?

Yup, a couple months ago (i think).

Is Larscheid still with 1040 or did he retire?

yea, right at the end of the season i think it was

lol @ rick ball doing play by play, I for one wont be tuning in.

larscheid does color. he's not a play-by-play guy. at all.

is larschied still doing color alongside these guys though?

he's seemed to be left out of all these conversations lol, and obviously he wont be following shorty to sportsnet

Good thing I have Canucks PPV

Yes, Larscheid will stay on as color

shitty for him, having to work with 2 seperate guys now, kind of a bush act by whoever puts that together, they should have just brought in a permanent guy for home and away

Well, Shorthouse will still be doing games on the TEAM1040 that aren't on Sportsnet... so HNIC/TSN/PPV nights Shorty will be there anyway... Plus Rick Ball probably wanted to try it out but couldn't do the away games because of his show.

i dreamt last night that sundin signed with the nucks. i think im on this thread too much

lmao, dreams do come true.

wtf? I had the same one too last night. no joke. I thought it was real.

I had a dream about shooting zombies and being locked up in a house w/ security cameras.

Any one else have that dream?

Let's all hold hands and run through the sunflower field as well.





























you homos....

if the case sundin doesn't sign, gillis would look stupid with 10 mil in cap space and who the heck would play with demitra...

i get those fucked up dreams where it feels like your falling...
