Lmao I believe that I mentioned those particular Cheetos on this board. I love you too. It's not really helpful to get someone on those though, it's like turning someone on to cigarettes, or crack. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I wish they'd make even spicier Cheetos. Like Habanero Cheetos. I suppose I could just get Jalapeno Cheetos and sprinkle habanero powder on them.

I love the idea, but doesn't the sauce turn the Cheeto soft?

If you apply too much, yeah.. gotta have the crunchy one, and season as you go, don’t soak them.

Cheeto is a great name for a cat I just realized. I'm gonna name my next cat Cheeto Dubas Nylander.

That's okay, I only feed cats wet food.

Seriously, what about Kadri/Risto?
I know it will never happen but it would make some sense for both teams.

Ristolainen is a bit of a mess sometimes.

I’d stay away.

Not a fan.
Weve had one year of 3 good Centers.
I wouldn't mind seeing at one more.
Once they get tossed 1st round again next year, then move him.

Hickory sticks were my fav.

That is a TON of movement.

Assuming for new or resigned players: 30Mil
4M for Simmonds, 3M for Ferland, 3M for Johnson, 4M for Kap, 10M for Marner, 2M for Backup Goalie plus: 4M for Pesce

Add in: 3.35 for Bracco, Sandin, Liljegren, Rosen (poopty development sitting a young D on the bench though)

Subtract (this is miracle territory here): 20Mil
6.25 for Marleau, 6.96 for Nylander, 4.5 for Zaitsev, 750k for Sparks, 2.1 for Brown.

You're left with the lineup suggested with a cap hit of: 81,060,000 give or take. But you still need to add Horton for 5.3, Kessel for 1.2 and 2 more Entry level forwards sitting on the bench for 1.6.

89,260,000 before putting Horton on LTIR (which the Leafs have to be under the cap before they can put him on the reserve) and 83,860,000 after putting Horton on LTIR

So they would have to shed ~860,000 just to be at the cap and a further 5.3M before the start of the season.

DAMN! Nicely done.

I did say earlier that getting rid of Marleau was part of that plan, if we could, then I guess that line up would work.

Simmonds > Marleau
Ferland = Hyman (probably better in some areas)
Pesce >> Hainsey

Gotta think that the lineup I put out would be a better team for next season.

Edit: my reading comprehension sucks hungover...re read and realized the "subtract"...you already had it in so $5M over, got it.

except that both Simmonds and Ferland should get 5M+

Ferland, ya probably.

Simmonds, nah, maybe a few years ago but not now. Maybe 5m year one and 4m year two and 3m year three....or something like that. $4m AAV? You could probably work his AAV to be even lower.

he was making 4M, you seriously think he'll sign for less?

Guess it more depends on the offers. Can't sign for more if he's not offered it.

Like I said, I suck at the middle tier or aging players CAP game. I do think that if we see his decline, GMs have to as well. So I guess question is, what offers will he get and how they are structured for the AAV?

WTF do I know?!?! We probably will do very little. Just some shuffling to get the CAP right and then add under developed Marlies.

- Barb34

pretty sure they'll both receive 5x5 offers

A 4th line of Marchment - Staal - Moore would be the tits.

Marlies still undefeated.

They play again tonight at 6. Going to try and tune in but I'll be starting day drinks in about an hour and I'll be at my buddies who is a habs fan so the odds of watching it are unlikely

Nylander and Zaitsev for Dumba and Staal.

Simmonds isn't that bad, someone will pick him up. He's slowed down but he can still score. 17 last year, 24 the year before. He's only 2 years removed from over 30 goals and he plays with an edge. Him and Kadri would be a pain to play against. Curious what kind of cap hit he'll be.
