The result is one of them is probably being traded in a deal for a bigger piece.

They used Mitts to get their D-man, I think one of them gets moved for his replacement.

There just simply isn’t room for all of them.

Agreed on maybe one being traded for a right now need.

That still leaves a number of others battling for likely little to no playing time for at least next season.

We thought he was a big ass dude that could throw the body and the shoulder injury was holding him back… turns out he’s just 10 ply

If he's on the 4th line playing PK I am fine with it. I would trade him and take the Cap saving if they could.

Domi and Bertuzzi are third liners playing on a top line cause he has no other options.

.

- Swedish_Jesus

bertuzzi has 135 points in his last 198 games 55 point per 82 game pace roughly

there is no 3rd liners with that production over the last 3 years

Pretty much, I would move him and Clifton. Clifton is overpaid for what he brings.

Here ya go Kevy. Here is your plan. I've given you 2-1/2 months to get your talk track down.
Get Kane and Stammer on a conf call together to stress the criticality of both in the plan. Plead to their sense of being a rare player leading 2 teams to SC's

Not bad, would still like to adjust the D. But like who you brought in, bet there's some accountability know.

The cap would be really tight for the following 25-26 season, with roughly $13M in space and needing to sign most if not all of Quinn, Peterka, Byram, Ryan Johnson, UPL and Levi.

Still, you left room for those extensions with the ability to make more cap space if needed.

Do you think the Bills trade up for a WR, or do you believe what Beane is saying that they are fine without a true #1?

43 points in 80 games this year averaging 16 minutes a night and PP time while shooting 13%

Not going to win many playoff games with him as your 1LW.

I think the cap space is incorrect as I don't see the retention showing when clicking on the long term outlook.

Still $1.6M in cap space for next season if I'm right on the above.

They would be right at the cap limit for the 25-26 season, but with flexibility after that.

Would you trade Jeff Skinner (0 retained) + pick 11 to LA for Philip Danault?

For me, 2025 pick equals yes, while the 2024 pick equals a quick no.

He's a pretty good player coming back, good on the Dot. Scores 50pt consistently and is in the Selke voting almost every year. If you want to dump him this year then it's not a bad deal. That's what I am saying Yes to. I personally would wait until the TDL or next offseason when his actual money owed drops significantly

Right, and if Bertuzzi shot 8.5% this season he wouldn’t have cracked 40 points this season.

He’s a third liner on a team with cup aspirations not next to my 69 goal center

Well in a few weeks he will be looking to play on his 4th team in 4 years.

How many first line caliber forwards can say the same thing ?

He’s an average complimentary middle 6 forward.
