That's exactly what it is. We need cap space and need to get rid of a contract. That's cap dumping regardless of which ever contract we get rid off. Teams know that and aren't gonna let us get rid of a contract just like that and expect us to get a return on it.

That’s not the point of anything I’ve said this afternoon, but go off I guess?
 
I was speculating a Kesselring for Borgen trade... somewhat sideways! Kesselring has an additional year @$1.4M and then an RFA. Lowers the cap by an additional $1.3M.

Why the heck would seattle get rid of a defenseman that isn't exactly gonna help our cap issues...

Borgen makes 2.7M
Kesselring 1.4M
allowing Winterton to be promoted
then Seattle would be under the cap by 1.2, enough for another D
and give the roster 22
all without losing another asset.

I rather not mess with the defensive just for the sake of forwards especially this late in pre-season.
 
Help me understand this - are we under the cap with a 21 man roster?

I think we might just roll with that until someone gets injured.
 
Not even surprised. Francis’ specialty is clearly putting himself in crappy cap situations and then being too passive to get himself out of them. Absolutely bonkers what he’s paying Tanev to play 4th line minutes if not get outright scratched, and Oleksiak what he’s getting to play bottom pair minutes and no special teams. Both players should have been moved this summer but here we are, watching Mahura likely get claimed while Francis tries to find nickels in the sofa cushions to make cap.

Oleksiak isn't playing buttom pair... He's 2nd pair... 3rd pair s borgen and evans.
 
Oleksiak has been paired with Montour for most of the pre-season. They have looked decent so far, so I am thinking that is how they start the season. The last game was the best that Evans-Borgen have looked in pre-season.

That being said, Evans-Montour could be a helluva pairing. Oleksiak-Borgen can be the shutdown/defensive pair. Depends on how the pairings actually look during the season.
 
Three years in, what is the biggest blood feud moment between Seattle and another team/player? The franchise needs some drama and blood feuds ...
 
Bylsma's pairings aside, Oleksiak is the #3 LHD on this roster. He pushes 25 points like 22/23. I could at least begin to understand the argument that he's worth $4.6m but after his Invisible Man impersonation last season it's not particularly close.
 
Feels very risky having nobody on hand. It’s one thing when a player gets injured in a game and can’t make the following game, but from time to time a player gets hurt in morning skate.

I dunno, if Bylsma is saying "this is my best team, if that creates cap problems then that's Francis' job to fix" then I sorta respect that?

Hello, Blues fan coming in peace. I had a quick question about McCann. I have him on my fantasy team and he is listed day to day. Is he expected to be out for awhile or will he be ready to start the regular season?

He should be playing on Tuesday. There are only 20 roster players on the Kraken and he is one, so I feel pretty confident.

Habs fans should totally have Grubauer in their pool. Take Brandon Tanev too.

I'm totally not f****** with you. :laugh:
 
Yeah, I'd bet that other than due to a large injury, neither goaltender has more than fifty starts.
