I think sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. If we can get young guys a chance in the lineup this year and still be competitive that will be a win moving forward
Nah. He seriously considered the Jets, but moving closer to home and family was more appealing. In all likelihood, Cheveldayoff offered a similar AAV but a shorter term. Glad Monahan passed.
Be nice to see Perfetti and Heinola play more this year, maybe Lambert gets a cup of tea too. But I think Chevy is far from done, he’s not starting the year with this lineup. I bet he signs Henrique for 2 years and makes a trade for a dman, maybe using Mcgroarty as a piece going the other way. We need D depth too.I think sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward.

Overcharge is his agent. How much you think he wants on a 7 or 8 year deal?I wonder if they use this cap space to try to lock up Cole long term, maybe extend Ehlers
You forgot shorter season...Shorter flights, less pressure, and probably more security either in dollars or term. Easy to see why Monahan would choose Columbus.
My guess is the Jets didn't offer as many years but the AAV was probably close. Monahan took the retirement home, low pressure option like Gaudreau before him.

Colin miller is back for 2 x 1.5
Colin miller is back for 2 x 1.5
His agent was... oh last playoffs? Ignore it 'he had a cold'Can’t believe Tofolli got $6 million a year.
Here is what I'd do
Offer sheet Braden Schneider 8.25 million for five years (give up 1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Ehlers (3m retained), Iafallo (dump) and McGro for Shane Pinto and Mads Sogaard
Stan gone - combined with Ehlers, Iafallo covers Schneider
Claim Kova off waivers!!!!
That leaves us with our current salary cap to cover Pinto and Perfetti
If more $$ are needed
Kupari/Apples for any pick
Buy out Pionk if needed
Vilardi-Scheif-Perfetti
Connor-Pinto-Lambert
Nino-Lowry-Apples
Names-Barron-Kupari
Jomo-Schneider
Samberg-Pionk
Heinola-DeMelo
EDIT: Or sign Colin Miller
Minor detailsYou'd need to get back our 2nd rounder before you could do that offer sheet.
Perhaps he’ll actually get in the lineupI liked Miller, thought he should have played more. Glad he re-upped! Welcome back, Colin.
