New thread, no derailing BS, enjoy.
Have you seen the cap situations of Florida and New Jersey lately???Wrong after July 1st he's only owed on average 4M with a 6M cap hit. That's attractive to teams with an internal budget who wont reach the cap floor. Worst case theres a bit of retention on the deal on the leafs side. A team like Florida, New Jersey, or Columbus make a lot of sense
Wonder if Nichushkin is worth throwing a 900k one-year offer at. Reclamation project who can skate, and who has shown in the past he can be a 30P guy. If he looks bad just bury him with no cap hit penalties. If he can bounce back you get a quality 3rd liner for near league minimum.
100%, but I don't think there will be a shortage of teams looking to sign him if he's willing to go somewhere for that cheap over just going overseas. He's still very young, with great physical tools, and has put up points before in this league.Wonder if Nichushkin is worth throwing a 900k one-year offer at.

I think with these reclamation projects, you need a peoples coach to get through sometimes, and tippett appears to be just that.
I’d give it a shot for sure, but I wonder if he’d take that deal versus going back to Russia. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with him this summer.Wonder if Nichushkin is worth throwing a 900k one-year offer at.

Stauffer was mentioning we might buy out Sekera and Russell? Holy smokes.
Some cap penalties sure but that opens up a lot of cap space right now to play with.

Yeah very true. Without knowing what he was making in the KHL it's hard to tell. If he wants to make it work in the NHL (which it seems he does given that he came back) you'd think he'd be looking to stay and hoping a fresh start could get him a more stable contract.I’d give it a shot for sure, but I wonder if he’d take that deal versus going back to Russia.

Is the buyout option done now? I think Stauffer said yesterday we would know soon if they were buying anyone out because they would need to be put on waivers today...could be wrong though.
If we were to buy out Sekera, move Russell for slight cap savings etc, and sign Donskoi + Connolly...look out.
That would alter the team immensely and Holland would be looking for a big name Dman to add into the mix for a playoff run at that point.

He might see the chance to play in our top 6 with McDavid/Draisaitl as an opportunity to get a bigger contract next year (ie Chiasson)
I thought we can only do three buyouts at a time? Gryba and Pouliot buyouts are still counting against the capStauffer was mentioning we might buy out Sekera and Russell? Holy smokes.

Just because we have terrible management doesn't mean Calgary does.I’ve heard Calgary is considering Lucic for Neal. Straight up.
Might want to wait until July 2nd after Lucic bonus goes through.
Players with a NMC can decline the waivers portion of buyouts so anyone on the roster with one could still be bought out.Is the buyout option done now?

You're right. A few more moves have to be made. I am hoping a Perry/Cousins/Nichushkin addition. Two of them even. We need wingers so damn badly.Look out for what?
Connolly maybe replaces Chiasson's offence from last year. So you've added ... Donskoi.
