• Not hearing about anything that would hold him back from playing next year

I can think of something

 

[Baby Buium]

Am I the only one that understand the logistics of cutting back costs during a rebuild? Like that makes sense to me. We're not competing, time to save the cash for a few years until we're ready to compete again.

I fully expect us to operate at the cap floor for the next 3 years.

The team's refusal to weaponize cap space is asinine.

We don't need to spend to the cap, we don't need to give UFAs bloated contracts, but if someone wants to offload a 2-3 year bad contract with some major draft picks coming in we should seize the opportunity.

Peculiar trade by Buffalo. They don’t seem to be in rebuild mode anymore but they also have a fairly solid D core. Kesserlings contract wasn’t necessarily a drain on Buffalo’s cap. I get it from SJ’s stand point but not so much from Buffalo’s.

And we will. If we're trading Debrusk, heck even Pettersson we're below the cap floor and will be taking bad salary back.

Well I think we have to see it actualize.

We actually have a bloated roster of bad, but also minute needing, bodies

If they decide to shed money but are then allowed to take on some bad money here and there, I actually have no issue. That’s smart!

Get out of fixed liabilities that have value right now because of the cap space. This might just end up being a one year thing as things normalize with cap growth and then we start seeing cap space be more scarce and then we can weaponize long term. This is where we’d benefit from having some sort of long term thinker/strategic guy.

Maybe they have someone who’s said this to FA. I don’t know.

But it’s definitely a wait and see thing

Cutting money on player salaries is fine.

Cutting money ‘across the organization’ is the opposite of fine. We should still be maintaining/creating the infrastructure of the team we want to be coming out of the rebuild.

For a family whose main source of income is real estate and development, when those are in a downturn? It's pretty reasonable.

Previous management group wanted three 1st round picks in this draft

one more pick to make it 3! Win the Turd!

I think if we are a serious team we can get another 1st rounder.

At the very least if not an additional pick id like something similar to the Kesselring trade and move our 24th into the teens.

Yup. They should be using their relative savings from player salaries and investing a ton into R&D, rehab/conditioning, player development, and other area the team completely fumbled on this past decade.
