If Jersey truly wants to gamble, now is the time to take our chances
they are adding Pesce, Hamilton returning, looking to dump Marino
Nemec 2oA righty shot RD
Anton Silayev 10oA, D at 6'7 a lefty shot mirror of Rempe, rated much higher slid to Jersey
are 2 elcs to be coveted
add Markstrom 4.125 x 2 + Marino 4.4 x 3
+ cap dump Jake Allen 1.9+
cap hit is ballpark 12.5
Shesterkin 5.6 max retained = 2.8 + Panarin 11.6+ at half max retained =roughly 5.8
+ Domingue .775 + Othmann elc = .863,333 x2
cap hit is ballpark 10.1
cap benefit to devs is 2+ish
-------------------------------------
why Jersey:
- gets best G entering his prime
- gets a top W
- gets a good W prospect to mitigate D prospects loss
- upgrades backup Gs better value, cheaper cost
- useful cap savings
why Rs
- resolves D situation:
--- adds high end RD where we are most thin
---adds a top 10 guy who was rated by some as high as 2oA who is sufficient + improving skater but with ridiculous Rempe level size
--- Marino harvard alumn = good pair w/Fox
-- decent G to pair w/Quick, we get Garand ready asap
=====================================
we are taking a hit at W, where we have depth, but ok to give Berard a shot now and
Gabe P once he is ready
we eliminate structural cap in bread, and eliminate need to max pay Shesty
-------
Trade Lindgren + pick for 2 2nds
ditto Trouba to DET
--------
Kreider - Zib - Brodz/FA to be determined*
Berard - Tro - LaF
Cuylle - Chytil - KK
Vesey - Edstrom - Rempe
* can be a stop gap, even overpaid, if only 1 yr term, like Tara or Kane
dep on how close guys like Chmelar/Roobroeck are
Marino - Fox
KAM - Schned
Silayev - Nemec
Scanlin knocking
Fortescue coming up in rear view
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If we did this, our one last needed deal would be
Zib full pop + Markstrom max retained 2 yrs + Gabe P. + Mackey
for
Nylander full pop + Knies + Liljigren
somethin like dat
so our first line is then
Kreider - Knies - Nylander
