Ok. So will the, approximately, $14M+ of cap space next year with 15 roster players already signed be taken into account as well? Cause that seems like the kind of long term cap management that everyone wants, no?
Until last year when we made a splash signing Debrincat (and Chychrun later), we were a rebuilding team that had Melnyk as its owner, so we were accumulating draft picks and not really doing much in the way of free agents, etc. So, yes I would expect us to have a some cap room in this case.
Plus, I think you'll see that cap room disappear pretty quickly.
I get that you (and a few others) want to be hopeful and see these things (and pretty well everything else) in a positive light, but at some point there's the realization that it is what it is, namely that we are in cap & roster situation that isn't great and that is the responsibility of the GM. We didn't get all that much from the Debrincat trade even and Korchinski would help our roster now & long term. And, I along with the majority of Senator fans, we hope that Tarasenko finds another gear given that $5 m was spent on the guy in lieu of securing our young & up & coming 3 C.
