It appears you forgot to add his 2 goals today, so his stats are even better.

I could see Bolduc in the lineup next year especially if we don't sign Pelech or lose a dman to expansion.

So depending on which defender gets taken by Seattle (my assumption), I’d imagine Bolduc gets some NHL minutes next year.

Only money coming off the books is boychuk LTIR and whoever gets claimed in expansion and possibly lee LTIR


I’d put Pelech in the MUST sign category. I can’t see the organization opting not to do so.

Only boychuk LTIR and whoever gets claimed in expansion is money off the books. And maybe lee will still be on LTIR.

Boychuk's LTIR relief doesn't kick in until the season starts, so it won't have much to do with signing free agents in the offseason, unless Pelech decides not to sign until after the season starts which would be dumb.

Lee will be ready for training camp.

Best case scenario for the expansion is Eberle that is 5.5 plus boychuk LTIR.

Are you (frank)ing nuts? He’s the teams second best winger. Who the hell would you replace him with?

Bailey is another option. He is 5 million.

Dobson and Bailey are playing tonight. Clutterbuck is a game time decision. Wonder who we take out of the lineup tonight

Like I said before its really sad that we are looking forward to the expansion draft just to get cap relief

You’re right. Not very Canadian of me.

I’m sorry Hockeyislife. I was rude.

Maybe.

That's not how LTIR works. It's not just free cap space, you only get "relief" in the amount that the player on LTIR would put you over the cap. So the only way the Isles get the full $6M in relief from Boychuk's deal is if they spend all the way to the upper limit.

I also would get rid of Bailey much quicker than I would Eberle, but that's just an opinion.

It'll be Wahlstrom, I think that's pretty obvious. Kinda tough to argue when he doesn't have a point in his last 9 games.
