Salary Cap: '24-'25 Salary Thread: Crosbicles Volume MMXXV - Poolman and Poolparty?!?

[SEALBound]

I don't see the point in bringing in a prospect like Bourque if we are going to tank.

Bourque ain't preventing us from a tank. He'd be a nice 3C if we manage to get Misa and McKenna.

20M in cap space to go sign a stud RW and LD seems dooable. I'd throw 14M at Marner or Rantanen. 8+ at Boeser or Ehlers. LD UFAs are slim pickings. Gavrikov, Chychrun or Lindgren maybe.

10 million for Hayes, Lizotte, Acciari and Heinen.... puke

Would love to see them all gone replaced by the wbs GANG

If Desharnais can help stablize our bottom pairing that'll go a long way.

Doesn't look too bad so far

Stuck with Hayes, Heinen, Acciari for another year, though I think Heinen can be a utility forward up and down the lineup. Lizotte is not part of the problem, he's part of the solution. And really 2/4 of those guys should be healthy scratches for the kids.

Just wait til he learns the "system."

It's actually wild how many things the team can do in the offseason if they trade Karlsson. They can basically sign whoever they want and have cap space to spare.

Well MP was traded a week later. And the Rantanen trade took months according to Tulsky.


Not that I think Weekes knows anything lol.

Lol I know, but this is Weekes' whole schtick. He posts these things and if nothing happens, people forget about it. If something does happen he pretends he had inside information. He is the Downtown Clay Davis of hockey news.

Can't disagree with that. Especially some retention to get a better return.

I'd definitely be calling Chychurn up as a UFA D.

I agree on Chychrun. With the bump in cap though, I wouldn't be surprised if he got $8 million per year. Is 57 games per year worth that?

Played 82 for Ottawa last year. The year prior Arizona sat him games so he wasn't hurt. So that's a tad unfair to the guy and his games.

Honestly I would. If he is hurt that means we just suck right? We need to hit the floor and what better way for a D who misses games.

He did play 82 last year in Ottawa, like you said he will definitely get more than he should given the circumstances of the cap going up in the next 3 years. Honestly, it all depends what we do with our current D's like EK and Letang. I would definitely be interested but I'm scared he ends up being another Paul Martin

 

[The Old Master]

I'd definitely be calling Chychrun up as a UFA D.

why? we don't want to improve this team till we get our new core. having chychrun would only make it harder and extend our rebuild if not putting us into a long drawn out stuck in the middle hell.
