This is almost as exciting as Kovalchuk never ending saga.
I hope they stretch it out for few more weeks just to mess with us.
Fear the Fin - where Russians are underappreciated.
I’m less worried about the possibility of a sign-and-trade if it is indeed a 2-year deal. Phew.

I’m betting this is the nail in the D-upgrade coffin.
They need to move NHL salary to bring in a defender and I don’t see that happening before Oct. 1st.

This is pretty huge
$1.8 would leave us with about $3.7 in cap room—enough to possibly bring in Willie Mitchell (if healthy) for maybe $2.5 AND a veteran to sort of replace Malhotra on the 3rd/4th line for around a million.
It also adds a lot of flexibility in terms of taking on salary in a trade—without giving up Clowe or Seto. Not sure what assets we have that teams might want, but hell, if Wisniewski is worth a 3rd round pick, maybe there is hope. Or maybe the Islanders will just trade him to us now for our 2nd round pick.
Glad to hear it. Very good cap hit. I’m counting on Seto to put the biscuit in the basket 35 times this year.

Dont boo your team!
Great deal for both parties
Leaves room for a short term d upgrade with someone like Mitchell (or cap space for a trade), and we also will have long term room for Seto’s raise as Huskins and Wallin’s contracts come off the books.
So this is our current lineup
FORWARDS
Patrick Marleau ($6.900m) / Joe Thornton ($7.200m) / Dany Heatley ($7.500m)
Ryane Clowe ($3.625m) / Joe Pavelski ($4.000m) / Devin Setoguchi ($1.800m)
Jamie McGinn ($0.996m) / Logan Couture ($1.241m) / Torrey Mitchell ($1.366m)
Frazer McLaren ($0.543m) / Scott Nichol ($0.760m) / Cameron MacIntyre ($0.600m)
DEFENSEMEN
Dan Boyle ($6.666m) / Douglas Murray ($2.500m)
Marc-Edouard Vlasic ($3.100m) / Niclas Wallin ($2.500m)
Kent Huskins ($1.700m) / Jason Demers ($0.543m)
Jay Leach ($0.500m)
GOALTENDERS
Antero Niittymaki ($2.000m) /Thomas Greiss ($0.550m)
CARRY-OVER BONUS PENALTY: $327,500
CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion)
SALARY CAP: $59,400,000; CAP PAYROLL: $56,920,834; BONUSES: $715,000
CAP SPACE (21-man roster): $2,479,166
We basically have enough room to sign Willie Mitchell to something around a $2.5M/yr contract. (Cap space of $2.479 M add Mitchell at $2.5, subtract Leach at $0.5M). It should leave us with more room than the Sharks had last year as well. It does however, result in a roster with one guaranteed healthy scratch dman a game, which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you want to look at the situation.
ill take it... particularly with the possibility with mitchell
looks like we got another shot at the cup

a douche that doesn't like money?
unfathomable!!! Although I’m sure he has a solid season and will get a pretty decent pay raise

God, 1.8 is SO LOW!
Now we don’t really have to move anyone significant to be able to upgrade the D, which is nice. Well played, DW.
Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is my "Like" button for this?
Not that I was terribly worried about the signing, but it’s nice to see that both Seto and DW understand how important he is to the team at the same time keeping his cap hit low enough to make improving the team possible. I love hockey players.
He's only getting $100K more than Huskins?
And half of Clowe? I’m blown away that he agreed to that. He got the shaft.
Great deal!
Way to go DW, Seto & agent.
Now time to put that saved cash toward PK/D
And as far as signings go, I’d like to read about a Jumbo ext. in the near future
(3 more years!)

I forgot about Park
I was looking around for a player who can play bottom six and PK, but also step into the top 6 and be semi productive. Also this player has to have some sort of playoff experience. Park still has speed, and its been soo long since hes played in the playoffs. Other players I considered were Belanger, B. Morrison, Modano, and Madden. However these 4 will probably cost more than $1M. Whereas Park can be had for under a mil. I like your thinking and the lineup looks good, lets hope MacIntyre is what every GM hopes he is (3rd line grinder w/ scoring pop).

Regarding Jumbo
Sharks and Thornton working on new contract extension, 8 year deal is what i’m hearing.

Same site that reported that Sharks had acquired Gonchar’s rights.
Kids in the back seat cause accidents. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
Russian media reported the news about Gonchar originally and then everyone picked it up like sheep.
Fear the Fin - where Russians are underappreciated.
I bet nothing turns out till Kovalchuk saga ends.
I’d love DW to bend the cap a little bit with Joe’s contract.

…has been widely discredited as a source for legitimate hockey news by many bloggers/analysts/beat writers on Twitter. I’d take anything he says with a grain of salt or at least have the decency to turn his poor hit rate into a drinking game.

DW always manages to make up for stupidity by making an awesome move. 1.8M for a year for Seto is a steal – good job DW!
GO SHARKS!
Go Sharks!
Let’s hope he will make another awesome move and trade for a shutdown Dman.

Niiiiiiiiiiice
1.8 mil is an awesome cap hit that should really help us out this year. I was kinda hoping we could parlay Setos poor season into a cheap 3 or 4 year contract that would pay dividends after a year or two, but it’s hard to be upset with a 1.8 million cap hit.
Who woulda thunk that Wallin’s salary would be 28% higher than Seto’s this year??
Considering many of us thought
getting Seto for anything under 3.0M would itself be a steal…getting him for almost half of that is insane. WTG, DW!
Well gawlee..
If both sides are happy with the one year deal, and Gooch wants to remain in San Jose for future playoff runs, then he needs to set a new high watermark for himself. Let’s hope he continues to thrive and help San Jose achieve the ultimate trophy.
Get it done Gooch!
Seto needs to fire his agent
His cap hit is slightly more than Huskins.
That being said. WOW. WANT.
I wonder what’s going to happen next season when Seto’s due for a raise. Who’s contract comes off the book at that point? Huskins and Wallin?
Well, whatever. We’re worry about cap issues then.
GO SHARKS!
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
"When" he's due?
How about “IF” he’s due… Let the guy play out the season and EARN a bigger paycheck first. If he puts up similar number to this past year…he ain’t gettin’ jack squat.
He struggled with injury for a lot of this past season. I wouldn’t read too much into his lower production.

Don't forget about Jumbo's 8 year deal kicking in.
at a reasonable $4 million hit freeing up some space ;]
bahahaha

Wow, DW got some great value out of this deal.
It gives the team a lot more flexibility than there would have been had he signed to what most of us were previously banking on.

I wouldn't go that far.
We still need at least 2 stron D-man and a little scoring depth on the side.

I'd settle for one strong, shutdown D.
and Owen Nolan. =]
or really, any good PKer with the slight ability to play 2nd line if needed (I’m miss Manny already.)
