You don't need an 8th defenceman on the roster when your farm team is driving distance. Take out the 8th defenceman, and you have a little over 1.3 million in cap space.
Unwise obviously to be that close to the cap. Something has to give, aside from the fact that our defensive cap structure (and play) is not good. I anticipate 2-3 forwards being traded and hopefully at least one defender, with cheaper, younger replacements coming in.Are you saying they are going to run a roster less than max roster?
What's our cap situation look like atm?
Were over correct? Ferland Cap can't be considered because we need to be compliant before the season and the LTIR Cap only comes off after we are, no?
How does this all work
Sutter will probably retire.Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, Jay Beagle and Brandon Sutter remain unsigned.
Just a reminder that Erik Gudbranson signed a 4 year 16 million dollar contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets yesterday...June 13, 2022.
Don't worry about Ferland, it won't really factor in other than we can't accrue in-season space. Would be nice to dump him though so we can accrue space in case Kuzmenko or Podkolzin hit bonuses.
As for the cap situation, with a full roster of 23 players we are looking at around 550-600k of space depending how the bottom of the roster fleshes out.
Is that "space" using both Poolman and Ferland on LTIR or considering them using space and being replaced?
Still shaking my head at that Gudbranson signing. It seems impossible.Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, Jay Beagle and Brandon Sutter remain unsigned.

The Gudbranson factor?Crazy how Gaudreau literally just said "I want to play in Columbus" and his agent calls Jarmo and says "Can you make it work"
Unreal.
Super happy for them as they've had a rough go with their stars the last number of years.

Hoping Kadri signs quickly followed by a Miller trade today.
There's an article that goes on about how he was always super impressed with the crowds and city. That and he has known guys (Werenski, Atkinson, Robinson) through various other means.The Gudbranson factor?
Which really drives home the importance of player connections, and highlights how badly Vegas is f***ing up.There's an article that goes on about how he was always super impressed with the crowds and city. That and he has known guys (Werenski, Atkinson, Robinson) through various other means.
And they all said he would love it there.
Just utterly fascinating.
Allvin mentioned yesterday that trades will take a while and probably later on in the summer. Could be bs but thats what he said that things slow down quite a bit after free agency
