PIT - SJ

Post by SharksGM »

To the Pittsburgh Penguins:

Matthew Boldy (75)

To the San Jose Sharks:

Mika Zibanejad (74), 0.95M total salary retained

I want Mika's 90SH and 84HI, plus his better track record of actually scoring. Boldy will be a nearly identical player when his SH fully re-develops, but my window to win is now.

retention math: PIT has 82-49=33 games remaining, 0.95*82/33 = 2.35M penalty for the rest of this season. Retention of 0.95/(3+33/82)=0.28 rounded up to 300k savings for the remaining 3.4 years of his contract, bringing his salary down to 4.35M.

PIT agrees.

Not completely writing off this season but with us underachieving, we take a hit short-term to save us some cap in the next few years going forward. As Dan mentions, Boldy will eventually develop into an almost identical player & will be cheaper to sign long-term this off-season.
