If Carey price asks to be placed on waivers being one of the best goalies on the absolute worst team.

Tor: Carey price 1 million

Toronto gets a top goalie for cheap, Mrazek can play for the marlies, and soup gets a decent back up goalie while price gets a team and environment that'll treat him well and make him wanna play for a team that's been playoff team for almost the past 10 years. (Don't need the first round jokes I know lmao)

This post confused me in so many ways.


2.) 06 Feb 2022 15:38:43
How did Price get to be only $1M?


3.) 06 Feb 2022 17:11:53
How did his knee issues get resolved. and how does "HE" become the backup?

San- Mrazek, Ritchie, Holl
Tor- Kane (2.5 million)


With Kane on waivers there's rumours he'll go to Edmonton, but if not I think this is the best bet for a guy who's cancerous anywhere he goes. And if all else fails send him to the minors.

Ye

1.) 11 Jan 2022 23:55:50
Kane was released and is currently a FA.


2.) 12 Jan 2022 00:39:46
Ye. Seriously? Lol.


3.) 12 Jan 2022 13:37:23
Top notch trade lol. Give them assets for a UFA.

I've been seeing a lot of talk on moving holl and some rookies and people wanting evander Kane.

Now would be the perfect time.
With marner I hired they have 10 mil cap space.

Tor: Holl
SJS: E.Kane

Leave get rid of some dead weight, gain a strong D, and won't have to deal with him for more than the playoffs.

Marner comes back, Kane goes down to the marlies, and then get called up for the playoffs. Win win.

Ye

1.) 12 Dec 2021 20:32:36
Kane is a forward not a D and even if you send him to the Marlies, most of his cap hit still counts, so someone with a pretty good sized cap hit would have to be moved when Marner comes back.


2.) 12 Dec 2021 20:38:43
Fine sir - even if you demoted Kane to the marlies, you can only bury just over a million bucks in the minors.

Therefore the remaining cap hit of E Kane would count against our cap . which would be about 6 million in dead cap for this year.

Plus what about next year? We can’t add 7 million to the cap or 6 if he’s demoted.

The only way to get Kane for the leafs is a 3 way deal where SJ and another team retain 50% of his contract and you can get him for 1.75 AAV.

Even then. do we really want the problems he brings?

I was checking out the leafs roster to see who to move, and I saw Alex biega on the teams roster and no Mitch marner on the TSN site, thoughts?

Ye

1.) 12 Dec 2021 20:12:58
Marner is on LTIR. Not really a mystery.


2.) 13 Dec 2021 02:30:49
As LL mentions, when a player is on LTIR he is not on the active roster. This isn't anything new.

Currently playing NHL 21 franchise mode.

Got rid of nylander marner Reilly(bought out instead of new contract) spezza and Campbell and put will back on the minors. Here's my current lineup in the 2024 playoffs first round against Florida. (Cap upped to 90 mil)

G.Landeskog A. Mathews B.Rust
J.Marchessault J.Tavares O.Bjorkstrand
I.Mikheyev J.Mccann J.Eberle
P.Engvall N.Roberston V.Nichushkin

R.Sandin T.Brodie
J.Muzzin T.Dermott
M.Kempny M.Irwin

Goalies:
A.Raanta
J.Quick

Scratched (Injured)
A.Burakovsky

Made it to the playoffs with a 45-33-4 record through simulating.

I may not like dubas, but I see why he did what he did but he also dug the team into a hole that'll take a few years to dig out of.

Ye

1.) 27 Nov 2021 15:30:32
How does this make you see why Dubas did what he did?


2.) 27 Nov 2021 18:41:22
That defence though.


3.) 27 Nov 2021 19:42:49
Goalies not much better either lol, I think the existing leafs are a fair bit better.


4.) 28 Nov 2021 14:55:15
Because freeing up cap space is harder than it seems why u try to free some up while maintaining a playoff run team.

I had to deal with ufas and waivers and minors and contracts to be able to have a team with enough players for season under contract.

Campbell I had to trade to try and be cap compliant while within the game his asking price was higher than my cap. Quick was in the minors at the time.

Stope the captiols head coach and all these players are progressing to far above their actual overall and skill with great chemistry

And I meant to say NHL 22.


5.) 28 Nov 2021 18:26:21
If that is what you ended up with for $90M, then we have a bigger problem than some of us have already said. The cap is only at $81.5M right now. Next year is projected to be abut $82.5M. We are likely at least 4 years from a $90M cap.
As Randy said, I think our current team is better than what you built for $90M.


6.) 28 Nov 2021 22:23:06
That's why I admitted I can understand how dubas got in the hole he did, but with contracts raising in the NHL aswell as the cap it's not much when you think about it. 40 year old spezza wanted over 2 mil for one year when he was at 750,000.

I'm also an offensive juggernaught at 96 overall and have an expensive head coach aswell.

The current team has no grit where everyone I signed can hit aswell as score, but if that's the case I'm open to suggestions.


7.) 29 Nov 2021 02:57:34
@Ye. Its a video game my man. I wouldn't put much stock in it as to what is actually done in the NHL.


8.) 29 Nov 2021 04:51:30
@Ye it's a video game not real life. In video games things like taxes, not wanting to play in Canada, taking a hometown discount, etc are not there.

You also don't see the real side of things. Marner demanded more because he felt slighted by the organization.

Mathews wanted more than JT because he's a better, younger player.

These things aren't taken into account in an NHL game.

Even things like Evander Kane's situation aren't possible so instead he's probably still a great hockey player in NHL22.


9.) 29 Nov 2021 08:44:48
I Know its a game but it is still relatively the same, and yeah I get the marner and Mathews thing, but they already have those contracts, so why's the game got to take that into account?

And Kane can't get a contract for more than a year in the game, but I see what you're saying.


10.) 29 Nov 2021 15:36:36
Look at it this way Ye. You could put tons of hours in playing Call of Duty, but that doesn't mean the Navy Seals are going to come knocking on your door to recruit you because they think you have all the tools to be an elite soldier based on gameplay.

The NHL game does it's best to mimic the real thing, but can't take into account how a player would "think" or "react" on certain plays or how a GM will "think" on how to plan for the now or future based on how they want to manage the cap or when they "feel" a prospect will be ready to earn a spot or seeing a decline in a player ahead of time and move on from him or when the team looks "ready" to add for a run so they trade picks and prospects and so on and so on.

Play it for fun and be happy with how real it seems.


11.) 01 Dec 2021 22:32:46
Fair point, except the game mode I'm referring to I am the GM.


12.) 02 Dec 2021 03:25:35
Then maybe the Seals will recruit you for General to lead the missions.


13.) 02 Dec 2021 08:10:28
So that seals comment is completely out of left field. I'm not saying I'm going to become a hockey gm. And I never insinuated I played cod or that they'd recruit me, I was saying I could see how dubas did what he did. Are you saying you know so much about hockey u can predict the next move or trade or what the plan will be in 2 years? What you're attempting to disprove is what the game is. And so is this.


14.) 02 Dec 2021 13:38:26
The comment is based on your insistence that playing a video game will give you true insight into the real workings and thought process of an NHL front office. So, if a game about the NHL can give insight, why can't playing Call of Duty give insight into an elite military organization and how to command one? Try to remember, you are controlling what happens, not Dubas.

We (many of us) basically do the same thing on here as your game does with trade values and predictions. We look at the cap, we try to find players to improve the team taking the cap into account. Some of us try and make the trade suggestions very realistic (in our minds) taking into account the other teams cap situation and needs. The game, like our ideas, is all speculation. The game has no clue either how it will really work out, it is just speculating based on how it processes data already entered about each player. Does the game keep up with live progress in real life of NHL players, prospects, etc or is it based on what was input at the time the game was created?

What and why Dubas did what he did has been discussed and speculated on here numerous times. What he has to do now with the cap is pretty obvious if he insists on keeping the core 4 ( I think it is really 5 because Rielly should be considered part of it) together. There is no cap room left. He has no choice but to find cheap players or move a player to create cap space. He doesn't have the luxury to move the cap to $90M just to make it work out to his satisfaction. Have you taken into consideration that you are controlling what happens, not Dubas.


Ironically, you ask me if I think I know so much about hockey that I know what the plan will be in 2 years. This coming from the person who has a point of view that he understands why a GM did what he did based on playing a video game. Of course I don't, never claimed I did, unlike what you are insinuating that you understand by playing the game. I know what I would like to see done, but that doesn't mean that is what will happen. Neither does the game know what is going to happen or how a certain GM thinks or will react in the future.

I will further say this in regards to your hockey knowledge comment. I put more stock into what many of the contributors on here write, then what a video game has predicted and I think many on here would say the same towards myself.

Enjoy your game.


15.) 03 Dec 2021 09:34:24
Dude I said that I understand why he did what he did because it's harder to do than most people givell credit for and look at the team he made with the core 5? First overall, and that's with h bocfap left.

Yes the game does take into account all of that, people mature their overall gets better, players retire and become scouts, players go on the block, prospects come up and down, players go up and down for cap space, players can choose whether they want to move or not due to no nove flaises, you haven't seen the depth of the game and you keep it as just a game where it's more advance than you think.

And again as to your joining or being recroites by seals, dude that's a far stretch even for you. I never said i'd be recruted or become a GM, that so using that as a justification for your point is baseless.

But I am enjoying the game.


16.) 03 Dec 2021 09:38:53
Also takes into account team morale, injuries, chemistry, players text the gm, the gm has to set prices for merch, for the box seats, repair the concessions bathroom parking etc and achieve all the goals the owner wants for extra money, credit where credit is due.


17.) 03 Dec 2021 13:34:38
Ye, this is my last response to this as this back and forth is ridiculous. For one, the game does not update Live NHL progression. It guesses what it thinks will happen with player development, retirement, new contracts etc. Proof in point, you said Spezza wanted over $2M in the game where he is really at $.750M. If it was real life live updates, he would have signed for $.750M with Toronto in the game as well because that is what really happened. As I said above, it guesses based on the data at the time the game was made on a very basic mathematical equation of what a player would want. How many times has the game been dead on for term and money a player actually signed for and the game also got the team they signed with correct? How many times have your trades that were accepted by the game really happened? Give that some thought.


I went back through the thread. Just look at your first post and the team you built. Is there anything realistic about it? No, there isn't. You said you upped the cap to $90M. That can't be done in real life so you are the one setting unrealistic parameters. You said you couldn't re-sign Campbell as his ask was too high. We don't know what his ask is yet in real life. The trades you obviously made, I would bet most if not all would never really happen.

I don't remember anyone on here saying it is easy to manage the cap like you suggest people have. It has been said that Dubas didn't manage it well with the contracts he handed out etc. That is quite a difference from what you suggest is being said and yet somehow the game proves the difficulty of running an NHL team to the people on here.

Yes, the Call of Duty stuff was a massive stretch. If you can't understand why I went to the extreme to make the point that the game is just a game and not a true reflection on how things are really done, then I don't know what to say. I said it after you said "I know it's a game, but it is relatively the same. " This was after a couple of us had said there are things the game doesn't take into account. My "stretch", even for me as you say, was in response to your own massive stretch statement. No different than if I said that Playing an F1 game gives you the real feel of driving an F1 car and the understanding of what the driver goes through and insisted it was pretty much the same. I would expect people to shake their head at me a bit.

I am sure the game is fun to play and the credit due is that I will give the creators kudos for making a fun game. That said, if you notice, you are the only one insisting you understand how hard it is to be an NHL GM because you play NHL 21 franchise mode. I haven't said that I think I know so much about hockey (as you suggested I think) that I understand all that goes on in a NHL GM's world. You are the one saying you have this knowledge, not me. Maybe you should consider the fact of where your knowledge comes from for a moment and whether that really makes sense that you truly have an understanding of an NHL GM's job.

Enough said. Cheers. Glad you are enjoying the game.


18.) 04 Dec 2021 13:05:11
I didn't up the cap, the game did in the 2024 season on its own, which tells me there's is, in the very near future, going to be a cap raise for all teams rather than a luxury tax.
How is there nothing realistic about the team I built when I did what was suggested in this thread and tried keeping the core 4 (accidentally bought out Reilly) made some moves bought people really cheap and didn't have a good team because of it so I had to trade half of the core to create cap space and if you think landeskog and burakovsky for marner a prospect and a draft pick isn't realistic I dunno what to tell you when Colorado had the cap, had the contract space available wanted a prospect and was on the block.

My comment about spezza is BECAUSE the cap went up, which I didn't up, you claimed I did when I said the year I was on it was upped. I didn't go in and manually up it as a way to cheat the game?

The trades I wanted weren't always accepted, and the way the game works is it's always updated so yes the overalls and skills of a player are accurate aswell aa th contract terms.

I never claimed I understood everything about being a GM i saie i xould see why dubas did what he did and you turn it to cod and being recruited to try and make your thoughts seems more legitimate than they are. I didn't come here for an argument I came here for tips and you took it somewhere completely different. That's on you.

And yet again you turn it to F1, dis I say it was exactly the same? No that's how you xomprehended it finally I said I can see why he did what he did. It's a lot harder. And finally, I suggest you get the game and see for yourself buddy. Chistmas is coming up. Have a good one.


19.) 04 Dec 2021 13:32:56
May not be 2024 cause of c.v., but once mou is done and HRR is bas to pace, cap will be 90-95 mil a year.

People really are puck sluts for chychrun here ;)

Anyway, I suggested way back when to send mrazek with a pick for fleury for Chicago to eat half of fleuries contract and send a few guys down to the minors to pay him only 1 mil then resign. For 5x3 and it was laughed at. Fleuries just resigned with Minnesota and Toronto wont jave a starting tandem if jack leaves now.

History changing moment, and yes I'm high.

Ignore the almost 40 part
But send him to LA, Edmonton, or Philly. Open up a lot of cap, and resign and sign what you need.

They won't send nylander, sounding more and more like JT is going to go, no move clause would just make it a little harder.
