IKnowPhysics Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Estimating based on comparables and 3rd party projections (here, here, and here): Reinhart, $6.25-7.5M, best guess $6.5M Olofsson, $4-5M bridge, best guess $4.25M Estimating based on flat-ass guessing: Linus Ullmark, $2M-2.5M, best guess $2.4M Maths: $10.5M-$15M, best guesses $13.15M Note: this leaves little room to sign anyone else, but still need upgrades at LD and, if possible, G. We might try to move an RD, such as Miller ($3.875M) or Montour ($3.85M), for an ELC LD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Ullmark is also getting more then 2.5. Think closer to 3.0. Korpisalo is a great proxy for Ullmark and he got 2.8 for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm guessing Reinhart at about 5x6.5mil Olofsson at 2x3.7mil; technically overpaid due to Kubalik having done more this year arguably. Ullmark at 2x2.9mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I think Reino is going to get a 1-year or 2-year deal. I think they want a situation where they can extend Hall if both sides want to do so, and a fat contract for Reino would likely preclude them from doing so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, they've got Reino under contract for another year and perhaps extend him at that point. In the meantime, a 2-year deal gives Reino more security than a 1-year deal.

IKnowPhysics Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Sabres have $6.546M with which to sign RFA Olofsson and make other moves. They carry about $3.488M in potential performance bonuses, but this doesn't have to impact this year unless Kevyn Adams decides to be conservative. On performance bonuses: Quote Performance Bonuses There are two types of performances bonuses available*, each capped at different amounts and restricted to different benchmarks the player has to meet to earn them. While signing bonuses can appear on any contract, performance bonuses are restricted to ELCs and 35+ contracts. How performance bonuses work in terms of cap management is the same, no matter what sort they are or which contract they appear on. *There is also a games played bonus, which is technically separate, but for our purposes here, that doesn’t matter. In the normal course of things, you ignore the performance bonuses on a contract. They aren’t added into the cap hit that is calculated from the 23-man roster, and generally we forget they exist. But there are many ways in which they factor into a team’s plans. Bonus Cushion Theoretically, on day one of the season, every performance bonus on every contract for a player on the 23-man roster could be earned through the season. Assuming they are, the total of these potential bonuses must fit inside the available cap space the team has. That’s not very practical, however, and most bonuses don’t get earned, so the CBA allows a bonus cushion, or 7.5 per cent of the upper limit of the salary cap. That is $5,962,500 $6.1125M this season. A teams’ potential bonuses need to fit inside the cap and/or the cushion at all times. For most teams, this cushion is big enough to allow them to operate right at the cap. Exceeding the bonus cushion is the same thing as exceeding the salary cap and carries the same penalties. Bonus Rollover Performance bonuses count against the salary cap as soon as they are earned. If there’s cap space to absorb them, great, we never need speak of it again unless you’re a luxury car salesperson, and you have the player’s phone number. If the end of year cap space isn’t enough to absorb the bonuses actually earned, then the excess is rolled into the next year and counts against the salary cap, eating into the space just like retained salary or an overpaid player in the press box does. This season the Leafs have $2,550,000 Sabres have $1.4875M from last season counting against the cap like a phantom character guy doing some eight minute games on the fourth line.

Also, images of him all show him holding a Lefty hockey stick. So wtf does EVERYBODY keep listing him as a RD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
