Unless Suter wants a bigger payday, we shouldn't let him walk either. I'd much prefer over Sprong types.

Cap man.. you can’t keep everyone..

hog - Miller - Boeser
DeBrusk - Petey - Garland
Joshua - Raty - Lekk
Heinen - Bluegar - Sherwood
Bains

Does the math even work?

 

[sting101]

as of right now we will need 4-4.5 million (OEL BB6 HOG - Poolman Suter) just to keep things status quo with the same 1.5 for LD3.

Any deal for a Dman is either a rental or a salary in = salary out situation pending the Cap increase.

To get a top4 stud were moving Garland or a Hoglander Heinen Desharnais combination

Assuming the cap goes up by four million again, which is the projected estimation, then the math does work.

Raty, Bains and Lekk are all under 1M. Boeser, ideally, is given Miller's contract. Maybe slightly higher but not by much.

That would leave us with approximately 3.7M to sign a LD. So keeping Suter is possible, depending where we allocate our cap space. Slotting Raty in the third center is nice and all but he hasn't shown anything to suggest he'll take it yet. Granted, Blueger can move up just fine.

Yeah but we have Mik retention and OEL dead cap. You don’t want to go against the cap if you want rentals and the D is probably where you want to spend the money. Suter at 1.5M or whatever is fine but like 2-3 is just not worth it.

That's why I said under 2M. Basically, I'd offer term but not dollar amount. Most I'd probably go is 1.8M, though I'd try to keep him at his current cap hit.

As for the rest, I already accounted for that. Here's your roster:

Even with Mik and OEL, we still have 3.7M to play with. Not exactly much but enough to either keep the status quo or, preferably, upgrade our defense. The slight question mark is if Boeser signs for only 8M. Bains, Raty and Brannstrom are all RFAs. So they're not getting much.

No chance boeser makes more than Miller

There is where I start to get a little annoyed at players that won't take slight discounts to stay here. Someone's gonna have to start leaving a bit of money on the table if they want to win as a Canuck, Boeser might be one to do it.

He's 4 years younger than Miller. If he gets 30+ goals this season, he probably will, whether with the Canucks or another team.
