We are not going to be running a 24man rosterWhat cap?
i don't think either player has any business being in an nhl lineup but as far as 7th defenders go their contracts aren't totally unreasonable. both of them are moveable (or you can bury them with a slight penalty). they're bad players and not good signings but they aren't going to handcuff the team going forward

What cap?
The team has a 24 man roster right now, cut anyone and we're under without LTIR.

I really doubt they're looking to trade for a d-man right now as that would put either their 1.5M or 2M signing as an immediate healthy scratch.
Forward maybe, but to me it looks like the plan is to pay to dump Poolman so they can accrue cap space throughout the season to make a major addition or two mid-season, like a top 4 D. Allvin talked about this around the deadline I believe
Willander after his college season is done? Maybe DPetey sticks after he gets called up to fill injuries.

I just don't see how; They won't move their top 3 prospects and the Podkolzin's of the team won't even get their foot in the door.
I see Debrusk being a much better fit with Miller/Boeser. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy likely to have chemistry with Petey, but I would be ecstatic to be wrong.
We also don’t need to dump Poolman right away, we can pay to dump him before Christmas and the cost would be cheaper.
Still need to get silovs signed. And slightly under IR doesn't mean we have the cap to add at deadline.

I agree big time about adding Kylington. I think if you do that you can walk into the season and know there will be improvements available through the year. Being so tight to the cap after moving off the last bad contract we had again sucks, but the big addition at D or F can be made at the deadline. Outside of Desharnais I dont think we made any real blunders today
I agree. Petey thinks the game at too high of a level for the north south guys like debrusk. But sometimes opposites attract so here's to hoping for that.

Unfair Huggy Bear
The key is giving Heinen and Sherwood just 2 years each. So easy to just give them 4 each because everyone else is doing it. That's how you f*** your chances of competing
Yeah no idea, we’ll see how they plan to mix them. Could end up with
Heinen-Petey-Boeser
Sherwood-Miller-Debrusk

The cap space on CapFriendly already includes a different backup for 800k~, Silovs will make marginally more than that.
Additionally, every addition the team makes clears another 1m~ in space by subtracting a roster player too.

lol, no doubt, not to mention the second, or Moser. Who could we have given them, Hronek or Hughes retained?
How can someone honestly think that, it makes non sense?

Holy balls
Soucy 6' 5"
Myers 6' 7"
Desharnais 6' 7"
Forbort 6' 4"
I honestly think we have a better team going into this season than last. People like to forget Z and Lindholm were traded for late in the year.
DeBrusk - probably has the highest breakout ceiling still of the available wingers
Sherwood - absolute wrecking ball
Heinen - canadian born swiss-army knife. A lot of untapped potential here too I bet
These 3 are all fantastic skaters too. Not to mention they can all play PK!!!
Honestly like all the size we got for D too. Now hopefully we can trade for either a legit top 6 scorer or a top 4 D at some point in the season.

I don’t disagree but neither Desharnais nor Forbort are signed to prohibitive contracts that should give them immunity from being scratched. The plan right now is probably hold firm and see if something presents itself as an upgrade at any position.
I disagree. Rights would only pertain to Stamkos, Guentzel or maybe Reinhart, but I feel doing nothing would have been better than overpaying for DeBrusk. Heinen and/or Sherwood would have been fine additions away from the rest of them.
Limited space? We have Myers and Soucy, a shut down pairing, as our second pairing. We have plenty of space for better players then them, this is coming from someone that hasn't got any issues with our shut down pairing. We finally get out from under that Myers contract, and we gave the proceeds to Forbort and Desharnais. Forbort, what ever, he's a friend of Boeser, but Desharnais isn't an improvement over Friedman/Juulsen, and makes more than both of them combined.

Is how our forward group playing out.
How much cap space do we have with LTIR?

Pk was still one of our biggest weakness last season so I think the new additions improved that.
Worried about our PP though….

I'd be very, very happy if that was the case. But it doesn't happen a lot, that's why the Sedins and Burrows was such a phenomenon.
If that works out at all cylinders firiing for all (or even most) players, I'll jump back on the train.
On paper, I am very disappointed for today's signings.
