you did well kid

There's no money for that. We have $8.1M something in cap space. Ok, so McCormick's will come off, or at least we could go over by his $1.5M So we're at $9.6M something. Our cap space without the LTIR of McCormick is $8,150,476, but $8.5 works for the purposes of this piece.

Signing Risto I thought would be announced on 7/1 or would take a while, like mid August or September, a while. There's really no rush, Risto and his agent just want to see what other guys are signing for to use as comps. Let's say he signs for 4 for $5M. Takes him right to UFA. I don't think his first year, only 34 games, counts. But Grigorenko played 25, and they sent him back to junior because they didn't want the year to count toward UFA. I'm too tired right now to go sifting through the CBA. Either way it's not a huge difference. He signs for $5M to get to UFA.

$4.6M left

Get Rid of Franson for picks/prospects I'm assuming? No way we could take any contract back. So wipe out another $3.325M.

$7.925M left

Seidenberg will cost around $1.75M - $2M. He's not going to be *that cheap. If you want guys like Eric Gryba ok, I guess, I'd rather have Weber back at that price. Bartkowski is an interesting name. It took him at least 121 games to score his first NHL goal. Had a good year last year, for him anyway. And probably will cost about $1.75M. If you want to go bargain shopping then Colaiacovo is still out there. And will be cheap. Probably just a repeat of last years $900K.

Ok so call it $2.5M on defense. But you actually have to add some money back because you'd be taking Nelson off and putting him in Rochester. So you'd have to add another maybe $200K.

$5.225M left

Don't forget Girgensons has to sign. I'm guessing a 1 or 2 year deal for $1.75M per.

$3.475M left

The only offersheet Tampa can't match is something stupid like $7M and up. And since we only have $3.5M left in cap space in this scenario, that just doesn't get it done. We would have to move at least $3.5M in celery(net loss) just to get back to 0. Oh, and then add Vesey's $925K in and there's another million bucks you have to disappear. And I think I was being generous on those numbers. I think Risto signs for more, and probably Girgensons as well.

I would love to do that stuff, but we just plain don't have the money to do it. And to be able to pay our guys in 2 years, and hopefully Lehner after this year. A lot of these guys would have to take 1, 2 year deals at the most, and guys don't like doing that if they can avoid it.

ugh, bed.

Well, Kucherov is a pipe dream anyways
BUT...
If we were to get him & Vesey, and add someone like Seidenberg & Weber to be 6 & 7 defensemen
Trading Franson & Gionta would leave us about 1.5-2.5 mil in Cap room
(I'm assuming trading Moulson would be impossible)

Or to save a mil or so,
Maybe Guhle makes it as #6 and we have Weber as #7

If we are able to get Kucherov,
It would be doable
Now and in the future

We'd just have guys like Nylander & Bailey replacing Ennis & Kane

Rules for the draft are as follows:
12 forwards
6 defensemen
2 goalies

1 coach

You must also select at least 1 bad boy since every team has one(Vince, Hardhat, etc.)

Users who are unhappy with their team may wait until August 15th to sign elsewhere.

Hardhat playing in KHL...is he eligible?

Nash
Vesey


Again, this is all based on the premise that they don't want Kane in the room or have to deal with the distractions. If that's the case, they are probably dumping him regardless
- sbroads24

That assuming we can trade for Nash or sign Vesey, both I would say are less than likely. I just want a solution before we do the trade is all

If we get rid of him just because we don't want him in the room and don't have a backup plan already in place we're saying we'd rather not have him than win and should get ready for a 10-15 pick again.

I'm guessing Murray thinks those two go hand in hand if they do move him.

But it's just been so so IMO
