They don't need to clear space to bring him back though. Next season there will be plenty of money to resign guys. I don't see Reinhart looking for a huge payday. Hopefully around $7m to keep playing with Jack. Dahlin is under contract, so any extension wouldn't count against next year's cap. If you can get Olofsson to sign long term at $6m, that would be great. Mittelstadt is an RFA with no arb rights and can't sign an offer sheet, so I would think he gets a smaller bridge deal.
We also have guys like Thompson, Ruotsalainen, Cozens and Asplund on entry level deals that could be on the roster. Not really anything to worry about with the cap yet.

You are right. After looking into it I see that IR still counts against the cap, but allows for a replacement not to. If that makes sense. So I guess Bogosian coming off the books will open up another 5 M to play with. My mistake.

Nice to see Duke with the catch.

I like the role Sobotka plays, and for his talent level, I honestly think he's done admirably. He's positive in possession. He's not getting caved in, based on 2 games.

However, the elements he's missing are skill. And for a top 6, especially with those other two, you need to get them the puck, and be able to handle it when mojo or skinner hit you with a pass near the net. He can't do it. So, in all, he could be much more of a train wreck than he currently is, but he just flat out doesn't belong there, skills wise. Find someone with his physical traits that can handle the puck. Don't think I'm saying anything new here. Only 'news' is that he's not drowning his line. But also not lifting them either


Mantha.

Solid post.
But how do we secure Mantha?

I'm confused. Sam is going to a very tough negotiation and will be looking to get paid. I know Olofsson has had a nice start, but we shouldn't be talking 6m yet.

Next year isn't a tough cap year, but the following year is. When you have space for 1 year, utilizing it well becomes more difficult.

You do understand that you're doing an "I told you so" post about "I told you so posts," right?

Good try, but "wrong".
Lol.

Bills doing their best to try and not score points.

I agree. Also has Ristolainens trade value increased? Eye test so far says yes.

Good post.
Things could not be going better in this regard!

Call New Jersey about Taylor Hall everyday.

Jordan Fillups is playing pretty well. Big step up for this team.

Can you imagine adding him to the top 6? Extended of course. Wonder what it would cost.

Too much, and then an insane contract.

Just wait until June and he's free

There was no one, not one poster who saw and posted this type of play was forthcoming, not you, not anyone.
For 7 years I heard here variations of this team could be decent, only to see the same crap game in and game out under 3 coaches.
What we have seen through two games so far this season is nothing short of a revelation, a near miracle.
I don't think I told you so is in order.

But alas, shortly, we will all be inundated with those "I told you so" posts from all of the insecure folks that are here, every day of their lives and are in need of internet reassurance.
You and I both know this.

It seemed like it was going to be a defensive battle.

Getting to Mariota, could get him to force some throws and create turnovers.
