Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

They go hand-in-hand though, no? Most QO's are going to be the starting point for an arb hearing so it's almost guaranteed to be even higher unless Werenski goes off a cliff.

A qualifying offer can just be flat out accepted by the player though. Whereas I think (don't quote me on this), arbitration can be up to 15% below the last year's salary. Obviously arbitration only happens if the player rejects his QO.

So I think theoretically if the Jackets make the minimum QO, and Werenski rejects it, they can set the low end of the arbitration hearing at $5.95M. Small difference but it means that without any hearing he gets a 4th year at $7.35M if he wants it.

Because he can just accept the QO this contract either takes the player to UFA (no QO is made) or it is a guarantee of 4 years and at least $22.35M ($5.57M/yr).

Oh absolutely, I'm just saying for a player with his talent odds are that his arb hearing would almost certainly go his way and with that QO it's going to make it a pretty hefty payday walking into his UFA.

TBH I think the only way a bridge really works for the team is if that team is Cup-ready and can use that cap space immediately.

2) If not, and Jake went for about the same amount Pesce makes and didn't cost any assets to acquire, why would anybody give anything good up for Pesce?

So replace Pesce with Faulk but the answer, apparently, is because Dave Nonis has apparently incapacitated Bob Murray and is now running the Ducks.

I would think Kase > Faulk but Bob Murray has kind of lost it over the past year so who knows.

Kase is also RFA for another 3 years and Anaheim was literally the worst offensive team in the league last year.

Details emerging on Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel’s apparent rocky, complicated relationship

Bottom line: Malkin was going to ask for a trade if Kessel didn't get moved.

Hm.

Rossi should have pulled a Dave Feschuk and talked to Malkin's mom to get the skinny on Kessel

/Skinny on Kessel, oh the fun we have here

Pretty sure Tyler wrote that himself after he tried to park his car in a laundromat, thinking it was a garage.

To be fair he was a little distracted because he was busy texting on a banana.

Marner - 26 goals 94 points
Point - 41 goals 92 points (three fewer games)

those Tampa Bay dildos may have to recalibrate a bit
