i think sen's need like 10mil caphit to hit the floor,
Benning should try and see if he can unload Eriksson's contract which is perfect for melynk,
after eriksson gets his signing bonus for 19/20, he's basically owed 5mil or so total, for the next 3 remaining years in his contract.
:rolleyes:

This is the perfect player for the Sens. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they trade for him.

yeah, lucic coulda worked too but it seems like he wasn't front loaded and just averaged out. So Melynk wouldn't bother

Quote (Meatstick @ 1 Mar 2019 18:55)

Lucic gets a bonus over the summer iirc. But his contract is too long so it would be pretty stupid to get him, also he has a NMC? We are definitely going to absorb some contracts though


I just hope Dorion doesn't overpay for some scrubs in FA.

NMC is for expansion protection i think, NTC is the one where players can deny trades to other teams. He has NTC in his last 2 years.
Yeah his bonuses are averaged out, so it's not worth for melynk to soak his shit contract. Whereas Erikkson is mostly paid off, so the actual money Melynk would owe would be much lower, while the caphit is still high for him to hit the cap floor.
I dont think Benning would ask Dorion/Melynk if they'd wanna work something out though :rofl:

yeah if the player has NMC, they need to be protected for the expansion draft.
Does Ottawa even have enough players that they're worried they can't protect after all those stars/players leaving though? i honestly dont know lol

I thought we would have to protect him in the expansion draft, that was the big reason for not wanting to take him, but if that's not the case then if the Oilers give us an asset along with him I'd consider it

there's still a few better options out there though

He has a NMC for entire contract. In the last 2 year a limited NTC is added.

A NMC means no trades , no waivers, no leaving the curent NHL team. A NTC means no trades , player can be waived and moved around within the teams system.
