And yet you did bring him up. And you implied, unless I interpreted it incorrectly, that Hakstol was using him incorrectly if it was true Schenn played better with Couturier than Giroux.

I'm going to go eat a donut and get fat.

I ran 2 miles and lifted weights for 30 minutes this morning. Then I went to McDonalds and crushed an egg McMuffin sandwhich.

True, but the comments section is where I really torture myself.

Only 14 players averaged a point a game or higher last season. And 6 of them, played 2 games or less.......

By that logic, Al Hill should have immediately retired after his first NHL game. I'm pretty sure 5.0 points per game would be the all time record!

I prefer engaging in conservation.

Remember, folks, to check for leaky faucets.

Mario Lemieux's career did nothing but go downhill after his first NHL shift.

Meh, his brother Luigi was the better player.

No. I implied what I said. Schenn may have peoduced more points with Couturier but somehow Schenn kept ending up next to G. This to me was more a Schenn conversation. Yes, brought up the Coach in passing but this wasn't directly a Coach related conversation.

Sounds about right. Good chance he will be playing in Vegas come 17-18

I would rather talk hockey on this hockey message board. Anything outside of this is irrelevant.

yeah, he's expansion team fodder, for sure.

It all depends on whether or not you prefer using Crisco or you cut corners using a non-stick spray.

Damn 2 year 1.95M deal for Manning.

I didn't think he'd get more than $800K per on a 1-way deal, but nothing crazy. Hope he likes the desert heat.

I'd put it at 90% he goes to Boston.
- jmatchett383

I think he is going somewhere people don't expect.

San Jose
Anaheim
Philadelphia

Just somewhere that people have never mentioned.

Or he'll throw us all for a loop and sign for SC Bern to play with his idol Kris Versteeg.

I believe that is the total amount for the 2 years, so his cap hit is 975K

Yeah 1.95 for 2 years.

I believe you're right. Then again, I thought the same thing when people said that Randy Jones had signed a 2-year deal worth $2.75M.

I just see better places than Toronto and Boston right now.

Teams that have room for him that are closer to competing.

I just don't think he is going to where everyone thinks.

I mean no one saw Jagr coming here.

I had to look this up, even though it seems very unlikely Hextall will ever waive Manning and risk him getting claimed.

What is a Buried Contract?
Teams do not receive full cap relief when a player on a one-way NHL contract is reassigned to the American Hockey League, or is loaned to a team in another professional league.

The players salary cap hit, minus the sum of the minimum NHL salary for the respective season and $375,000, still counts towards the team’s salary cap total.

The cap hit relief is therefore equal to the minimum salary of the respective season + $375,000:

2014-15: $550,000 + $375,000 = $925,000
2015-16: $575,000 + $375,000 = $950,000
2016-17: $575,000 + $375,000 = $950,000
2017-18: $650,000 + $375,000 = $1,025,000
2018-19: $650,000 + $375,000 = $1,025,000
2019-20: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000
2020-21: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000
2021-22: $750,000 + $375,000 = $1,125,000

Cruel trick by the hotstove using the same jersey as Bill does.
