By offseason 2020 which players will be bought out/traded to make room for paying pulock, barzal, and toews? And what are your early predictions on AAV and term for all three? Thank you Art. So excited for the season

@Shane Z. Pure guesses, given all the uncertainty with RFAs now and the CBA to come:
-- Toews 3x3.3
-- Pulock 6x6
-- Barzal 6x11.5
That's about 21 mil. They have roughly 16 mil in space now with the cap staying the same, which likely won't happen. Subtract Leddy and/or Boychuk via trade and buyout and you have an extra 6.5 mil to work with (though a Boychuk buyout doesn't save you much). A Komarov buyout saves you another 900K.
So there's room to make it work.
He also thought leddy would be moved for picks to free cap space and a roster spot and no player in return
I would like to see it also. Performance paid contracts. You don’t play good you don’t get paid. Ladd would suddenly make a miracle recovery, guaranteed 😂 - Cptmjl
Nah he would probably be selling it all and moving to Fl.
