Does Quinn get a realistic shot of making this roster this year?

Can he make this roster this year?

$6.9M over the cap right now. Crazy.

Based on what we estimate Vegas' off-season cap space to be at the moment, $8,800,000 would be roughly $2,100,000 more than what they currently have available.

Kinda

He was at 1.6mil this past season
Next year, 2.0mil
Following year, 2.2mil
Last year, 2.4mil

Maybe he’s slightly overpaid?
That tbd
Certainly not worth getting up in arms about though

- jdfitz77


By season, he's receiving a $.4M, $.6M, and $.8M raise?

Where's the .25M number coming from?

They offered England an office job if he retires. They should put cap circumvention rules against that poop

What you hearing Irish
- Buff36


Yeah no secrets here Irish. Tell me it’s for a certain ARI goalie name Kuemper and I’ll love you as much as I love Gerbe.

Btw, I think Gerbes dad took away his phone or was arrested by the FAA, maybe both

I don’t like Vesey going to the leafs for cheap. I was hoping he would go out west

They just have something in place to alleviate this. Heard one name was Schmidt, not sure how they pawn off MAF?

MAF with 1m retained + a 2021 first for Hutton

Haula, Kahun and a goalie is next. Kahun should be priority but isn’t. Odds are defense stays the same with Irwin being 7. Need to move Hutton this year and Okposo next are the main issues

MAF, 2021 1st and a prospect that makes them cringe for a 6th... lol!

He’s an older draft choice (already 19) but I think he needs one more year. It might have to be in Europe though as the Q might not have a season

Wait until Okoposo gets his harbor center job before those rules go in place, please.

Haula would be interesting. That would likely make Eakin the 4th line center.

Sending him to the minors saves $1M.

Can’t think of any other team that needs a goalie right now though.
