Thanks guys! Yeah first row to second row is a difference of 3 k. Still on the fence.

I'll be giving 75% to clients. Probably keep Saturdays ;).

No days off in this job I'd imagine.

If greig reweeeeeaaaaalllllyyy impresses then formenton is available.

Greig pinto joseph third line.

We get chycrun
Unless Formenton prices himself out, Sens will offer a long term contract, he's part of the core as Brown replacement.

Mete:

Drafted by Montreal
Claimed off waivers by Ottawa
Signed as a FA with Toronto

I believe that the next step in his Canadian tour will be a trade to the Jets, but I don't know how he gets to Alberta after that.
I'm always here to help, here you go:

Dorion has been brilliant this offseason so I’m sure it will be addressed but by far the biggest need coming into the offseason was a top 4 D.

Replacing Brown with Giroux at 3M. A+

Getting Stu a winger in Debrincat for essentially magic beans. A+

Turning Murray, Forsberg, Gus into Forsberg and Talbot while reducing Cap 1.75 and dollars by 3M A+

I expect nothing short of an A grade on upgrading Zaitsev into a Top 4 RD.

In Norris's interview he talked about how important it was he spent the year in the AHL. Formenton and Batherson also both benefited from it greatly. I think its integral in development. I really hope he plays the entire year down there and maybe comes up at the end. Secondly there are always injuries. You need depth. Lastly I simy cannot wrap my head around why so many people want to trade Formenton.

But how does this happen?

No one is taking Z without a major sweetner from us. I don't see how there can be any budget left to buy him out. And I don't see how they can bring in an expensive top 4 d-man without getting rid of Zaitsev's salary.

We were saying the same about Murray. It's likely, sure, but after the past week these kinds of categorical statements feel a little extreme.

no, almost every teams already have a Z in their line up they want to get rid of. Except Arizona and Chicago which are trying to collect them all.
 
You make it work for 2 franchise players like that. It makes guys on ELCs more important though.
It's a huge difference between 75M and 85M for a franchise struggling for cash. Can someone guesstimate the revenue between last season and playing in a full house (next year)?

And having1 or 2 playoffs rounds?

Yeah I stand by my original statement. Toronto was desperate for a goalie and we still needed to send a sweetner.

I seriously doubt a team is going to take on Z's 4.5M without sending salary back. I feel like Dorion has shot his load on Giroux and Cat. Hope I am wrong.

Zaitsev is owed $7m i real dollars over the next 2 seasons, average of $3.5m with a cap hit of $4.5m per season. That has Arizona and/or Chicago written all over it. Likely to cost a 2nd round pick. Oh well.
 
We’re not winning the Cup next year so if we have to wait another year for the mythical top 4 D so be it. The team has made major progress regardless.

We have an excellent shot at a Cup, no team in the East scares me, we can beat anyone in a 7 game series.

If the PP gets hot in the playoffs we could easily get to the finals and the Western teams aren’t scary either

There would be anal seepage after our defence got reamed in the 2nd or 3rd round.

WelL I’ve never LOVED formenton. I think 3LW is perfect for him so great. But it sa position that can be filled and replaced without killing the team. But my bias aside he’s just the piece I would be willing to give up to get a legit top 4 maybe top pair guy. I wouldn’t give formenton for any deal that doesn’t bring that back.
