NHL Network had about 24 straight hours of Gaudreau coverage.

Jarvis signed a deal with deferred salary but the deferred amount is never accounted for as a cap hit since it happens after contract expires. Apparently this is legal per CBA and without many restrictions on how much can be deferred.
Pay Bedard 1 million a year for 8 and give him a lump sum fof 88 million in year nine. He can live on endorsements.

Jarvis gets 15.67M in signing bonii, but it is counted towards the cap hit. Thing is, the money gets paid July 1st after his final year, and somehow this means the league counts reverse interest for it.
Like, what is the amount that would become 15.67M, had it been paid earlier and it accrued interest? Apparently this means Canes get a smaller cap hit, almost 500k per season.
Sounds stupid and weird.

Stan doing Stan things. I mean Oilers were never going to let Leon walk but it’s ironic Stan is managing another tight rope act that will become more challenging by the year.
The fact the Oilers had two superstars and didn’t win a Cup at the end of ELC or early on in second contracts means they are entering the diminishing returns phase of the bell curve. Even with an increasing cap, the problem the Oilers have is lack of depth and no youth to fill in the bottom of the roster that can grow into top 6 roles. They just gave away two former first rounders for peanuts as proof positive, and they will be dumping first and second round picks each TDL.

I think Stan is there to win now. There is no point in thinking five years ahead anymore. Cup or bust.

His comment about the cap challenges coming:
“But, that’s for us to figure out down the road.”
Sounds familiar.
Bouchard is gonna want huge money too. The rest of the players are going to have to be Matthew Highmore types and Soderblom types in net.

Rumours have Max Pacioretty signing with Toronto.
I saw Kubalik signed in Switzerland. Really no-one offered him a contract? He has a great shot. I don't know, I would have given him a chance. Unless maybe he wanted a longer contract?

Max has been injured for 2 seasons now. He’ll sign for cheap though.
