I think that's a legit offer Would almost have to come with a Gardiner deal though, otherwise our left side is Greene, Smith and Mueller. Plus, would we even have the money to sign Gardiner if we acquired Laine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If butcher is part of the trade, don't have to worry about that. I think Zacha caps under 3, so 14 million + they money back from whomever else we deal. Six for Gardiner, 8 for Laine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vatanen-Subban Greene-Severson Smith-Carrick Yeah, it's really future years where it gets terrifying. Greene gone after the year. Butcher would be gone. If Gardiner is on a one year deal, he's gone. Mueller would have to be resigned. Would be scary in future years. Vats a free agent (and I'm assuming he won't be back even if we don't add right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Next year, we would get 4.75 from vats, 6 from Hall, 5 from Greene, 1.7 from Nico and bratt, 6 from Gardiner, 5 from Simmonds. So about 28+ mil to resign Hall, Nico, bratt and blackwood (plus about 3-4 more from somewhat unimportant free agents like Hayden and Rooney and Mueller). 11.5 to Hall. 7 for Nico. 4.5 for bratt. That's 23. 3 to Mac? We'd have about 7 to find another lhd at the top (???? /. Smith / Mueller?). Carrick would slide into third pairing on the right. Mueller probably resigns for depth in the left (so 5.5 left?). Rooney and Hayden can be easily replaced from the system. Miles wood could be dealt to get 2.75 back.

Forge Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Would require some gymnastics, but I think it's doable. Plus, I think we already have some built in space. Per cap friendly, we have 30.5 tied up in forwards and defense, 6 in goal, plus the 2 from cammaleri buy out. That's only 38-39 million. Assuming the cap is flat, that would put us at 40 million or so rather than 32-33? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 We are good at this. The devils should hire us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Oh, and if we can't make it work for Laine, happy to go for Connor instead lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Also, I feel like a pairing of Gardiner and Severson would be the most chaotically beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I think I really, really need to see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Jesus, someone always has something to say over there if you indicate even something less than sunshine and rainbows for a devils player. I make a post about Hughes not playing center on pp for F/O purposes, and someone of course is wondering why the expectation is that he'll be bad at the dot. Like really? He's a teenager playing center in the NHL. Sucking at face offs is like a rite of passage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to like your own players but it's another thing to come at someone left and right over role players like Miles Wood and Blake Coleman or something as small as not having a 160 lbs 18 year old take faceoffs lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
