BluObieZ 1,125 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Rumors are swirling about that Orion Slade is planning on picking up his player option for next season. Which is his right since it's an actual clause in his contract. One that the GM of Seattle gave him. But reports are that Seattle is planning to buyout Slade if he does pick up his option. Sounds messy right? If Orion picks up his option it will cost the team 4mill against the cap. But if they buy him out, he will only cost them 2. Either way it will hurt the teams cap situation. Mostly because with Orion's cap hit they will have to trade someone to keep certain players around. Orion is basically forcing the hand of Seattle and holding them at gun point. Seattle is trying their hardest to make the situation sound like that they have it under control and believe that Orion will do the right thing. But will he? If you go off his track record and his agents track record, Seattle is about to enter what is called Cap hell. Sure they will buy him out but its still 2 mill that they can use on someone else. All signs point to Orion picking up that option or at least making them wait till the last possible second to tell them he won't pick it up. Seattle cannot even trade his rights because he has a NTC in his contract. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Berocka 2,263 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 REVIEW: Very well written and informative, the role you are taking with your player is quite an interesting one. It will be interesting to see what happens in the off-season. I hope that it all works out for you in the upcoming season. Hopefully get a cup this season or at least give it a good hard crack.

Banackock 8,049 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 REVIEW: Similar to the prior review. This was an informative insight into what's going on with Seattle's cap and your current situation on the team. The stance you are taking, as mentioned, is an interesting one but can any of us say we're surprised? A wise man once said "always expect stupid from stupid when stupid stupidly presents its stupidity". Just kidding. I came up with it on the spot. Pretty damn good, hey? Can we try and get that quote famous or something? Anyway, 3-1 series against the puppies. I'd imagine a cup isn't quite as good as a soother works for a baby but here's to hoping we can hoist the cup. Good day.
