Just looked at the Flames roster...
Horrible cap management let alone having many assets.

I like playing armchaif GM...

Tanev/Miller/Gaunce for Duclair/1st/2nd/Smith retain 2m
Think it thru if plausible.
Many aspects & ramifications to that offer for both sides.
Or some close variance to that offer.

Yeah.... don't love it but then maybe why it works. Most believe Tanev is worth more then Duclair. But if that 1st is a lotto pick for this season then that's pretty fair as a return. Guance for a second ... oh well. Kind of lose year so of development. But a high second was close to low first that Guance was and maybe JB can find better. So who takes over 4th line center? Labate? Miller for Smith could be a wash with a well then gusss who's up for grabs for Vegas.

I know Dragon it hurt not getting him. More sad is if they get another lotto crack this draft I don't see anyone that comes close to Laine, do you?

Did Hockey Futures open a new site or close down?

No update since June...

Nothing against the young guns or the D bro

Basically Canucks & Flames both have a lot work ahead of them.

Was just curious which players you were referring too

Suffice to say neither team is close to winning a cup anytime soon

A lot of work.

2 years of drafting high. Then start back upwards.

Calgary needs a bottom 6. Top 6 is pretty good and young.

Contracts for next season.
Gudbranson 3.6x6 (sorry he doesn't score not worth $4 plus a year even if he plays top 4 minutes)
Horvat 2.8X2 or 5X6
Tryamkin 1X1.75
Hutton 4X6

Brian Elliot will improve if the forwards improve.

There was an image leak about an hour ago:

I would try to stagger the terms a little bit as they could cause cap issues later on. Also would look at 2 years for Tryamkin.

Having 3 players on the same term isn't the biggest of deals IMO.

Bo & BHutt r not getting 5 & 4m per year.
Bridge deals yes

Probably 2 of the worst contracts in the game right now have to be Michael Raffl and Dale Wiese. To go along with Dorsett and Matt Martin.

It sucks to be that type of player in the NHL but just don't provide enough to be paid over 2 million a season. That or Superstars need to be paid less.

Why wouldn't they? Look at comparables, they will get that easy.

Dustin Brown 5.875m...where does he fit in?
or
Andrew McDonald 5m
or
Wideman 5.25m
or
Ladd 5.5m

As for Martin/Dorset they represent 3.5% of cap space.
That is Hardly overpayment.

Dorsett is not a bad player. It is not his fault he is surrounded by crap.

He is good on the PK , he can score 8 a year, he provides toughness, he does anything asked of him.

When you play him with Gaunce and Skille what kind of magic are you expecting.

NYR used Dorsett to shut down Crosby to playoff elimination 3 years ago.

Let's see what Lebate does tonight, if nothing else he'll bring energy.
