Most of our re-signings are going to be RFA's getting small to moderate raises other than McCann. Even with his new contract, I doubt McCann's AAV makes enough to impact any push for signing a 'big' FA. We have enough cap space to deal with it. Gio is off the books and there are complimentary pieces that can be moved to create more cap space if required. Soucy, Donskoi are 2 such pieces that come to mind. Maybe Driedger. Though I doubt it comes to that.
Well should be noted , hextall missed the boat on this one, then dubas under estimated....it would take alot to pry McCann out of Seattle now
Did we try to make any deals with Francis? Wasn’t that idiot Francis a big fan of Tanev anyways?
Pittsburgh with the major screw up in handling the expansion draft. There was no excuse for losing McCann - dealing him to Toronto for blah and really got nothing in return.
Yes, but we would have kept Tanev. Some will say that was a bad move because we lost two assets instead of one. Others would say we cleared cap by getting them to take a useful but overpaid player.
Yea, we did a great job of signing the bad news bears with that extra cap space.
Not sure if serious? Heinen, McGinn and Rodrigues have been crucial depth pieces for us.
They’ve vanished since January, it’s now March. I guess you forgot to mention ZAR, Simon and Boyle. You don’t donate Jared’ McCann at $2.9 mill and then sign ZAR to $1.75 mill.
