NHL -Rumors: Mattias Ekholm and five destinations for Max Pacioretty
Host: “So it’s summer, but as you know, in Montreal, we’re talking about hockey every show. We did it at three o’clock, specifically because we also go in football and baseball conversations. But many people expected to see this summer that they see offers and how some of those songs look like it.
And now, apparently, there are some reports that owners have arrived and have told general managers that they do not apply sheets because they are concerned about inflating salaries. “
Dennis Bernstein: “Yes, well, they will always worry about inflating salaries. How do you earn money? You keep the costs low. And what of the ways to keep costs low? Not much salary. Plus, here is the thing, you can’t pay that money on that side of the company, you are going to be on the other side of this, because the numbers go?
Like Adrian Kempe, right? He is in the course of his deal. He probably gets $ 10 million a year, right? Five or six years ago he gets, what, six, six and a half. So the fact that this is the cap, everyone thought, oh, free desk will be great. You know what is happening, there is enough cap space for everyone to keep their own boys. So I think it goes back to the old school that is thought, okay, well, we don’t have to pay exorbitant prices or give up concept choices, we can develop, pay and keep our boys in the city.
NHL rumors: Is Connor McDavid in the short or long term?
That is why you look at the target retirement situation such as Edmonton. Jake Allen would have been the best goalkeeper to hit the free agent market. Jake Allen is a good goalkeeper, not great. He is not going to make a difference. So I think Gallo for that, I am not shocked. And let’s be real here, it was not a weapon that was strongly used, right?
How much, as you could count on one hand, in the past five years, the effect of offers, and it was because of what you know, (Doug) Armstrong did with the two Oilers players, who changed everything. So I understand. I understand why it would not be a tool to keep salaries low, but it is not so common in this competition now. If I told you, oh yes, each team would each do an offering magazine outside the season. That is 32 discount, then it is a problem.
So I understand that side of the company, but the downside is that you pay more to keep your really elite players. “
