Dumping Reaves makes a heck of a lot of sense from what I'm seeing of the cap situation.
Could also mean dire straits for Tuch's injury, or a Patty Kane redo.Dumping Reaves makes a heck of a lot of sense from what I'm seeing of the cap situation.
Plus I think cousin's full cap hit can be buried if need be.
Full set of cap moves compared to the (not updated) current CF numbers:
In: Lehner $2.5m (50%)
In: Cousins $500k (50%)
Out: Subban -$850k
To AHL: Whitecloud -$925k
To AHL: Roy -$720k
Net +$505k. Team was $700k under the LTIR usage pool. This would bring them to $195k below the effective LTIR cap with a 20man roster.
Does this mean Tuch can't come off LTIR before end of regular season without a cap move?
Wonder if they'll play Carrier-Stephenson-Nosek as the 3rd line as that worked well against Ducks, and then Cousins-Quinney-Reaves as 4th line until any of Roy, Glass, or Tuch is back.
We have so many bottom sixers and all of them except Nosek are RFA or wouldn't go anywhere else (Reaves). Even Nosek would probably love to come back.
Carrier is at his best when he's kept under 13m. I really hope Cousins catches NewGuy fever.
He's talking about tomorrow's game I reckon.

A reminder that Reaves makes so much because we matched another team's 3 year offer in a two year deal to avoid losing him. I wouldn't say he wouldn't go anywhere else. He could even see a team move as beer market growth.....
