JJFIVEOH Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Excellent trade for Florida. With that contract it makes total sense for the Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Excellent trade for Florida. With that contract it makes total sense for the Panthers. They trade away Horton and a year later they pickup one of the worst contracts in hockey? This was the last move Florida should have made. The Chicago front office must be sitting there in stunned silence, shocked that they got out from under the Campbell contract. I think Stan Bowman just won GM of the year if that award exists.

shrader Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Brian McCabe still a Panther? I'm not sure if it's a serious question or not, but he was traded to the Rags last year and will hit the open market on July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stan Bowman just won GM of the year if that award exists. Horton wanted out no matter what. Tallon dumped him because he was a cancer. Olesz is a sluff, as overpaid as Campbell is, he's worth $7 mil compared to Olesz $3 mil. Considering the Panthers need to spend an extra $22 million just to hit the cap MINIMUM............ (and that already includes Campbell's contract). They're in the perfect financial situation to make that deal. One-to-one, Olesz and Campbell aren't even in the same league.

BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Real_ESPNLeBrun Pierre LeBrun Campbell's agent Larry Kelly confirms his client has waived his NTC for trade to Florida I would love to know why Soupy would agree to leave a Cup contender to go to a bottom feeder. He must love high humidity and hurricane threats. Chicago has to be ecstatic to be getting rid of that contract. I was counting on that to mess with their cap and allow us to sign toews when his contract is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 That Minnesota-San Jose trade was something: Setoguchi, Coyle, and a first for Brent Burns. Burns is good, but I think Minnesota did well here. And it looks like Campbell is headed to Florida and not Columbus. I can't believe any team took on that salary, much less Florida.

nucci Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was going to mention that maybe these ridiculous long term contracts will stop but Philly goes ahead with a 9 year deal for Bryzgalov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont stop, it's still a way to circumvent the cap. There's nothing significant that's changed as far as the rules are concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing significant that's changed as far as the rules are concerned I know but it seems after 1 or 2 years in to these deals, teams are looking to get rid of them. Carter, Richards, and now Campbell. I know Tampa would love to dump Vinny. Rumor in Philly is they are going to make an offer for Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "perfect situation" to take on Brian Campbell at $7.15 mil for 5 years. Team Pegula should be on the phone with Florida at this moment selling them on Hecht, Stafford, Pominville and Boyes. If they want to eat bad contracts to get to the Cap floor the Sabres have enough of them to help them get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tampa would love to dump Vinny. Rumor in Philly is they are going to make an offer for Stamkos. And front loaded deals like these are going to be what allows the smaller market clubs to spend under the cap and the bigger market clubs to exceed it.

carpandean Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was going to mention that maybe these ridiculous long term contracts will stop but Philly goes ahead with a 9 year deal for Bryzgalov. It's pretty close (though somewhat less front-loaded) to the deal that I proposed the Sabres offer Brad Richards (9yrs, $51M vs. 10yrs, $51M.) The rules allow it and, as Eleven said, other teams always seem willing to take them off your hands later on. As the cap goes up, that will be even more true, since the salaries drop well below the cap hit in later years (well, actually, Campbell's does not, which surprised me when I looked into this deal), making them more attractive to cash-strapped teams trying to clear the cap floor.

The deal looks a lot like a favor. I expect the Blackhawks and Tallon to pull of a future deal that is as slanted Florida's way as this one is Chicago's.

No matter how many times you say it, Stafford's contract is a good deal and as the cap continues upward, Pominville's is getting closer to good value.
