So I guess CBJ is about to add Kovalchuk?
Or someone via trade?
The timing on this Hartnell buyout is odd. They protected him in the draft due to his NMC.

If we add Takchyov, would people have a problem trading a winger for a center? After trading Stepan and Brassard, I wouldn't be surprised if Nash and/or Zuccarello is traded as well
Nash+ for Galchenyuk/RNH/Wennberg/Duchene would definitely get my attention

The only one of those guys Nash gets is RNH, and Nash might waive NMC if he is going to a Canadian team. That being said:
CK-MZ-PB
JV-RNH-MZA
JTM-KH-MG
Keeps the team very balanced. Need to add two penalty killers (Boyle? Rasmussen?) but it might be better than last year. If they can add Shattenkirk the defensive unit is much improved as well. Get a good back up like Nilsson and they are in business.

Well, CLB just created more capspace... Who knows
I can dream...
He's definitely waive for Columbus, but we'd have to add a ton

In regards to the performances bonuses mentioned in the prior thread, they can't be based on how much cap space you have left at the end of the year. Performance bonuses, as one might guess, are based on performance.
Only certain players can receive performance bonuses as part of their contract. Players on ELCs can receive them. 35 or older players (which Hartnell is), or players who missed a significant amount of time due to injury in the previous year, can receive them on a 1 year deal. Anything more than 1 year is not eligible.
I'm not sure exactly which performance bonuses someone like Hartnell would be eligible for. It might only be games played.
Performance bonuses aren't a way to get around the cap. If they are earned, they count against the cap. If there isn't enough space left to fully pay the bonuses, the remainder rolls over into the following season.
Shanahan signed deals like this with us in 06-07 and again in 07-08.

Not exactly a reputable source.
I think he retires too, but I'd wait for word from someone more established.

Friedman says Buffalo is "making a big play" for SK.
Also says NYR have told teams they aren't going to be "as crazy" in the open market as they have been....

Sign Sam Gagner at whatever he'd cost - $4-4.5m range for 4-5 years? Younger than Stepan, guarantees you 40-50 pts as opposed to Stepan's 50-60, but he's slightly younger, way faster, and performs well in a 3C role. Very good possession numbers. Could be a great addition on a third line with Nash and Buch.
Ideally, I'd like to see us do something like:
Re-sign Fast at $2m-2.5m AAV,
Re-sign Zibanejad at $4.5-4.7 long term
Sign Sam Gagner at $4-4.5 no more than 5 years
Sign Anders Nilsson at $1-2m, or bring in whatever respectable backup who can be had for $1.5m or less.
Gives us something like:
Kreids - Zibby - Zucc
Miller - Hayes - Grabner
Nash - Gagner - Buchnevich
Vesey - Boo - Fast
McD - Smith
Skjei - DeAngelo
Staal - Pionk
7D: Holden/Bereglazov/Graves
Hank
Nilsson
Plenty of cap room left for flexibility, and depending on how people's seasons are going, we could always move Nash's expiring and bump Vesey up, or if Boo is struggling make a deal for a 4C, or if the forwards are all doing well but D is struggling, pull off a larger trade involving either Miller or Buchnevich for a top pairing D.
This depth chart alone, depending on who lives up to expectations (or doesn't), could wind up being much better than what we had last year. Equal or better production from forwards, but a faster, more offensively inclined D corps. If we made these moves, and then got crazy and still signed Shattenkirk (could barely work if we moved around some other salary), suddenly this team can compete. Don't want Shatty, but would be interesting if we went "all in".
