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.
It would take Chytil. Strome does fit the Buffalo mold though. Overpaying a decent player.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
What's ZMA? Never heard that before.Thats what I take along with ZMA at night
