[puckhead]

Left shot D Man

Major win as jimbo didnt give up a first lol

/scared cause theres lots of time to do that

 

[dash]

I want to see Hughes and Schmidt on the ice at the same time...

/That could be the fastest skating defensive duo in the league.

 

[puckhead]

this cap stuff has too many wrinkles to do easily.

$2million left to sign Jake and Gaudette
plus Ferklund $3.5 on LlTR
and whatever they get from burying BearCheese

jesus someone needs to convince ericksson to go back to the restaurant business

They get about a mill by burying baertschi and another mill if they bury eriksson (both were in my plan btw lol). I have a feeling gaudette will come in at 1.5. Virtanen will prob be traded because arbitrator will prob award him 3 mill

Regardless ...

Time to worry about the 1st again

Stecher is a wash .. Schmidt is better than trading boeser for a top 4: dman but we keep boeser and have a just near top 4 guy for what now to me is madden a 2nd and a 3rd..

Good thread

Deeper dive

Deeper dive

This is certainly something that they can/could have (are planning?) planned around :



This is great to have as a fallback. Im sure Aquilini does not want to pay for a buyout though. But this gives jimbo time to somehow trade one of the shit contracts. Was there enough of a public melt down today after toffoli signed with the habs that caught his eye prior to the schmidt trade to convince him he better pay for a buyout ?

If jimbo can get assurance that there will be a buyout, should he jump on a ufa signing for the top 6 right away and not wait? Damn the pickings are slim. Dadonov, Hoffman and Duclair are the only ones who scored at least 40 points. If they knew this plan could be in play they should have signed Toffoli to what he got today.

With only 3 possible guys out there as ufas (plus Leivo who would be cheap) looks like the way to go is just wait for another team needing to dump a good forward/salary

And i think wagner may have got it wrong. Sutter is the only possible and viable buyout option (not Sven) ... from capfriendly: (see the bold)

Saw this on another board and it made me smile:

Benning does Benning things and in the end somehow falls backwards into gold

Misses out on Barrie, doesn't sign Stecher, has the room for Schmidt

Drafts OJ over Tkachuk, somehow turns that into getting Petterson and Hughes, which they wouldn't have if Tkachuk was on the team and contributing and finishing higher in the standings

Benning is Homer and his haters are Frank Grimes

He also could've just signed literally any other d-man for under $5 mil which is what all of them not named Pietro or Krug has cost this weekend.

Not that Schmidt is bad today or that a 3rd round pick is big currency to pay for literally any useful roster piece let alone someone you expect to eat 20ish minutes a game but I beware the pricey defenceman reliant on his speed signed through his mid-30s.
