If we run a 23 man roster it reduces the overage to around 2 million, assuming Danforth , Gauce, Tarasov, Bayreuther, Meyer all go down.
Worst case scenario, we're stuck buying out Nyqusit (I hate this because he's actually been quite decent for the salary given). |

Good for him, glad he finally found a place he likes. Hopefully he'll get back to be a 50 goal guy. |

Alex,
Totally agree with your post. Zak, nice writeup too.
I will not be surprised if there is a trade in the works for another defenseman or maybe a center. Who knows, maybe even an upgrade at goalie is a possibility but that would mean at least one young prospect defenseman would have to be in the deal. Even a trade for future considerations is fine by me.
I wish the length of the contract is longer even if they had to pay him more. But the next four years can be very interesting for the CBJ.

Good # for a pure goal scorer... he will thrive with Johnny Cbus.  |

Regarding Bjorkstrand:

The reasons why are IMO:
1. Seattle wouldn't do a deal for an older player. They want a young player or lots of prospects. They got a good player for their future and the CBJ got under the cap for Liane's contract.
2. The CBJ did get 2 reasonable draft choices for the future.
3. The CBJ has a young roster and lots of prospects. Now they have a spot for one of them to play good minutes.
It's a fair trade for both sides. |

Nyquist is next i would imagine. Still need to clear close to 5 million for the salaries of Jenner and Texier which are still on LTIR on CapFriendly. |

2 and 3 agree for sure. 1 prolly
More Seattle focused. Def under market value in deal. Assuming they don’t want cap overage to linger whole summer and come a preseason problem

Jenner & Texier are not on LTIR, just IR. Their cap it is already calculated in. CBJ can send players to AHL and be over 2 million under the cap |
