Honestly, it doesn't matter who wins, just as long as it happens in regulation. There are pros to both.
 
I buy out Staal and Lundqvist this summer and resign Georgiev. That’s about 3 million in added space.

stromes money comes off the books. 3.1 mil

I let Jesper Fast walk 1.8 mil

cap goes up another 3 million.

I pay DeAngelo 5 mil per on a bridge deal. So 4 mil raise. Figure a wash on the Skjei money

that’s about 11mil when u factor in kreiders raise And you need 10 for eichel next season. We already have some cap space sitting there as is that we’ve carried all year.

the following year we get a ton of breathing room to sign rfas. Cap goes up again. It’s a 2 year window wirh Mika on the cheap. I think by that point regarding the cap we’re fine.

Kreider - Zibanejad - Kakko
Panarin - Eichel - ?
? - ? - Gauthier
Lemieux - Howden - Getts

The “?” are where I think they would need to make sacrifices and play less players.
They would also need to get creative on the blue line.

I don’t think it would get us further than a deeper lineup on the current course.
 
I’d seriously consider checking on Eichel

now don’t @ME here just tell me if you’d do it. Don’t tell me that buffalo wouldn’t and I’m an idiot and don’t talk to me about the cap. Just tell me if you’d make this trade at the draft:

Buffalo gets:

Strome Lundkvist Kravtsov and the Carolina/Toronto 2020 first round pick

NYR get Eichel
It would take Chytil. Strome does fit the Buffalo mold though. Overpaying a decent player.

We'd have to shed massive cap for that.

I'm still holding out for McDavid in a year or two. At this point maybe even Draisatl wants to get out from the North Pole... who would ever want to play in Edmonton

Lemieux 1.5 Howden 950k Gettinger 850k
McKegg 1.2 = 4.5

Smith Trouba =12.5
Lindgren Fox = 1.8
Hajek DeAngelo =6
Rykov = 950k

Shesterkin 950k
Georgiev 1.2

thays like 68 69 and change plus another 10 11 in buyouts. I rounded up in some spots Need some money for bonuses 84 mil cap

We’d be in pretty good shape no? Think my math is right.


dark horses Morgan Barron and/or KAndre Miller making the team

weakness is still the left side but every team has weaknesses in a capped league. I think we’ve got enough depth there to have options next season.
