Salary Cap: Pens Off Season Thread: Pre Free Agency Shenanigans!

[Gurglesons]

Avs are up against it.

Avs have 8 mil. 15 with Landeskog on LITR.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Avs are up against it.

Toews is a guy you do cap acrobatics for, especially @$4.1M. You cut elsewhere. Next year they may very well have to move on.

 

[Ryder71]

Avs have 8 mil. 15 with Landeskog on LITR.

Yeah and they have to sign 8 or 9 players.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

YEAH They have been so much more successful

Which is exactly my point. A team with lower standards of success decided that multiple 1st round flameouts weren't acceptable and they made significant changes.
Be nice if this Franchise got with the times, but feelings or whatever

 

[Gurglesons]

Toews is a guy you do cap acrobatics for, especially @$4.1M. You cut elsewhere. Next year they may very well have to move on.

As I said above. The Avs are not up against it. They have 15 million in cap and need to sign a couple forwards and Byram.

Yeah and they have to sign 8 or 9 players.

No they don't.

 

[Ryder71]

Avs have 8 mil. 15 with Landeskog on LITR.

Oh ok, forgot about that.

 

[Peat]

The only reason for the Avs to move on from Devon Toews is if his early number is just nowhere near their cap ask and they get a great offer, and decide now is a good time to reload. It's not like a defence built around Makar, Byram and Girard is weak after all.

Which tbh I'd do in their shoes. But I bet they won't.

As I said above. The Avs are not up against it. They have 15 million in cap and need to sign a couple forwards and Byram.



No they don't.

Yes they do, they only have 14 players under contract. excluding Landeskog

Kostin-Steel-Brown
O'Connor-Poehling-Fischer

If only Dubas could pull this off, this bottom-6 looks sick to me. It has a ton of youth and speed and it would likely be pretty cheap to put together. Can't wait for Granlund as the 3C and Carter as the 4RW though.

 

[Peat]

Fischer has never had much individual production or great possession metrics. Apparently not super physical for his size. Feels a bit take it or leave it for me.

 

[Ryder71]

I would definitely have a strong interest in Domi.

 

[Jobeycool]

How can we get a better back up goalie and another good defensemen and improve our bottom 6, plus afford possibly a decent goal scorer = not possible..

That bottom six is worse than whatever we had last year.

 

[PensandCaps]

Who?

There are some good but low targets.
Nyquist or Tatar are gonna be cheap imo.

Nyquist especially, Really good top9 player who will be underrated in free agency.

 

[Pens x]

I guess Dubas really does like Granlund.

Sad if true.

He acquired Murray last season. He isn’t a genius.

 

[PensandCaps]

Killorn/Duchene/JVR/Patches/Kane/Taraenko/Tatar/Nyquist/Zucker/Bertuzzi/Compher/Bunting.

This wingers UFA class is stacked. We will be able to get one for cheap, all these players are good aswell.

 

[Peat]

Tatar would be a great get if we just want to make the playoffs and a lousy one if we want to do anything while there.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

How can we get a better back up goalie and another good defensemen and improve our bottom 6, plus afford possibly a decent goal scorer = not possible..

The backup's probably fine. He was like league average and I'd be surprised if his numbers don't improve with a better blue line in front of him. People just don't realize how much the average has fallen among goalies.
The bottom 6 is all available in free agency. You can get ERod for example and some near league minimum dudes.
We just got a decent goal scorer in Reilly Smith...26 last year.
If they push for Hanifin, they'll get him. If they don't, they won't. Things get more complex if Petry gets traded though.

 

[Ryder71]

Domi put up really good numbers last year and performed well in the playoffs for DAL, I think he could be had for a reasonable price.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Tatar would be a great get if we just want to make the playoffs and a lousy one if we want to do anything while there.

He had a +63 improvement from one year to the next. That's gotta be close to historic.

I like Nyquist and that’s about it out of these players in terms of what Dubas has said he wants.

 

[PensandCaps]

Tatar would be a great get if we just want to make the playoffs and a lousy one if we want to do anything while there.

Why wouldn't we want a very good 5v5 scorer come playoffs?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Tatar still with 20 goals, 28 assists last year. Only 4 of those 48 points on the PP. +41.
I wonder what the price tag is.

 

[PensandCaps]

I like Nyquist and that’s about it out of these players in terms of what Dubas has said he wants.

I mean there are others I'm missing. I think Hathaway would be good but he will get heavily overpaid for "toughness"

A better size option would be Sundqvist, decent scorer and versatility. He should be cheap.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Why wouldn't we want a very good 5v5 scorer come playoffs?

Because he forgets how to do that when he's there. 13 points in 52 games.
