I think they should ice the best team possible and throw the max at malkin for 2 years
- homiedclown


How much is the max per season?
Something like 14mil?

I am hoping their recent play has terry fired up to come out blazing in the fall

Depends what that means
I wouldn’t want us trading a bunch of good assets for Pat Kane for example
Would actually rather go after DeBrincat, since he young enough that he can be here for a while

Spending $$$ is great, as long as we do it on the “right” guys

signing malkin and letang would cost no assets

use picks, prospects etc to get that goalie

I believe the max player salary allowed is 20% of the salary cap, which will be $82.5M for next season, so $16.5M is the max for next season.

Why compare a hockey player to another hockey player? More on this later.

Be something knew for this Organization if they signed Tage to a extension. Getting ahead of the game isn't very well known in Sabre Land, it usually called "kicking the can" down there. It would show growth in the FO.

if that pipedream were to happen, ship out casey or olofsson in a package to get that goalie

you literally have no pressure to draft for a need with the 1st rd picks other then needing to add 1 RD in the pipeline

I think we need 2 RD, in 2 to 3yrs the oldest guy on your D core would be 25

Don't think the Bill's are gonna match for Bates. Kinda moves G to the head of the draft line.

if ralph played skinner with eichel and skinner got 30 to 35 goals in 19-20 they are probably both here still and we have a playoff series under our belt

Explain different, both Eichel and Tage, heading into final year of contract and the team wants them long term?

Skinner they were proactive so he wouldn’t test free agency.

Signing Tage this summer would be proactive similar to those situations.
