MONCTON elects to waive Jeff Skinner with penalty. Provided no FP is required.
Owen, I wanted to make sure you saw what his cap hit was going to be before I pulled the trigger on this for you. 13.35M would be the hit. Once you confirm you were aware, I will complete.

My understanding is that 66%. Of 13.5 million is spread out over 4 years. Have I got this right? |

No, there is no spreading of cap hits. Much for the same reason that we don't allow GMs to use draft picks without paying for them yet. I know there was some discussion that people thought it would be good to do but that was it.
That being said, We can pretty easily code to spread the cap hits over 2 years for guys that have next year dues already paid, like you do.
I will post the suggestion on the discussion thread to see if anyone has any positive or negative feedback regarding doing so.

So, in order to drop Skinner today, 13+ Million of cap becomes unavailable to me this season? |

I think we need to have our policies hammered out in advance and documented , not during periods where GMs are making decisions about their draft/ UFA strategy.
I find it a tad draconian to make the cap hit due in year one. No team can operate this way. This seems like a rule that is meant to dissuade from leveraging a legal cap management device. If thats the idea, then let's take waiving/buying out etc. out of the equation altogether.
Conversely, let's think about allowing a GM to 'sign himself' to a longer contract than 2 years (vis a vis dues payment), thereby allowing him to leverage picks and avail himself of a three year term in which to absorb the waiver penalty.
I would be in favor of making 50% of the total waiver due in year one if the player was a UFA acquisition that didnt pan out, with the balance of the penalty spread over the remaining two years.

I appreciate your feedback Owen but I would rather not extend the years that a GM can pay dues more than the current current year +1. Waiver hits have always been for the current year only so that is not new.
I think having the flexibility to modify how this is going to impact teams is a benefit and not a negative and that's why I floated the spreading over the 2 year period (for guys that are bought in for the subsequent year). Barring anyone making a strong case against it I imagine it will be implemented within the next few days for GMs to take advantage of.

2 year spread seems like a decent compromise. You can always wait until later - last day of the year to waive. Doesn't have to be now.

there used to be a 'trade problem' where players would actually get traded 2-3 times. It was common for a player to only play weeks or months and then get traded one or more times.
The evolution of F points did away with that.
There was a Mike Weaver-ish time when a player was signed to a 10 or more million buck contract and jettisoned after then season and similar, so on ect.
Now the new waiver rules have ended that.
Seems like steps in the right direction towards realism. Looks good for realistic simulation.

Seattle will waive the following ELC/minors players:
Baron, Travis
Callum, Booth
Elmer, Jake
Goulbourne, Tyrell
Osipov, Dmitry
Ouellette-St.Amant, Shawn
Sturtz, Andrew
Seattle will waive with penalty:
Pontus Aberg
Aberg has been waived. I am guessing others are minor league players - these are handled after RFA in a seprate phase
