Saving for a rainy day.So now there is a lot of cap space, what are we doing with that? What's the plan here?
I'm going to go out on an limb and presume - since we already had space to retain Sillinger - we will be using that newly added cap space this season to sign Jack Shit.So now there is a lot of cap space, what are we doing with that? What's the plan here?

I've heard that if you don't use it, you lose it.Everyone here has a nickel burning a hole in their pocket.
We don't need to spend it tonight.
Sillinger and Tarasov for Askarov is a solid yes from me. And if Askarov isn't all that right now, that's fine, he still has massively more upside than Sillinger and Tarasov put together.
Sure, but there is plenty of time to spend it.I've heard that if you don't use it, you lose it.

The way this team has performed he should fit right inI'm going to go out on a limb and presume - since we already had space to retain Sillinger - we will be using that newly added cap space this season to sign Jack Shit.
With all this cap space I wonder if something might be done with Elvis?Sillinger and Tarasov for Askarov is a solid yes from me. And if Askarov isn't all that right now, that's fine, he still has massively more upside than Sillinger and Tarasov put together.
Buyout window is closed for this season, but if he doesn't improve then it's all but assured that the team will do so next off season with all the room they now have with the cap and previous statements by Waddell.With all this cap space I wonder if something might be done with Elvis?
I can see Waddell taking a 1st to help a team out needing cap space. I am still not sold on the management refuses to broker line but I don't think there would be an issue if take a body on an expiring/short term contract to help a playoff team "reload" for a push as they would actually be playing here and we are just not buying draft picks. While we paid for a 2026 2nd today I feel like we are going to end up with 3 1st rd draft picks next summer (1 for taking on an expiring/short term contract cap dump, 1 for a 50% Provorov (GM eat that shit up with Dmen like him at the TDL) and our pick)It's probably good for the CBJ to not make any major acquisiton-even with the extra cap space.
Would seem like the year to really assess the young talent and fill the holes that remain after this season next off season.
Which is why I DON'T think we are going to do it. Plus Askarov already shown some hot headness and you think after the Elvis situation we be a bit more careful about that. Plus...I don't think CBJ be dragging out Tarasov like a show horse on media scrums over Elvis if they were not considering he has the potential to be the starter here very very VERY soon.Let’s just assume that the preds would do Sillinger and Tarasov for Askarov. That puts us dangerously low on NHL quality forwards
Gaudreau-Monahan-Marchenko
Jenner-Fantilli-Chinakhov
KJ-Voronkov-Brindley
Danforth-Kuraly-Olivier
Also possible: TFW, Gambrell, etc
But seriously, plenty of time to spend it.

Take on some bad contracts during this year for draft capital and then sign a big fish UFA in 2025?So now there is a lot of cap space, what are we doing with that? What's the plan here?
We can get a Sillinger caliber player on waivers. Or trade a late pick for one.
I don't see this happening. If Ownership wouldn't retain on Laine for a better deal why would they retain for a draft pick. Jarmo said and tried for years. I just don't think they are interested.I can see Waddell taking a 1st to help a team out needing cap space.
