He might get LTIR right before the deadline so they maximize the cap accured along with the 5 million from Kane.
Would be almost 10 million in space.

Yup we're going to have plenty of cap room at the deadline.
Other thing to consider is generally speaking selling teams retain salary, so Kane's $5.125 million could effectively function like $10+ million in cap itself if the teams we're dealing with are willing to retain 50% on a player or 2-3 players in different deals.

What prevented them from trading Ceci before the offer sheets to create some cap room to mitigate their vulnerability? After the offer sheets were made the horse was out of the barn and the valued cheap contracts gone. It was a pretty easy decision after the decision was made for them by the market.
I've been pretty clear on the difference of Harley and other quality free agents. As proven NHL players, the probability is lower a team will not match and clearly why maintaining cap space important. Broberg and Holloway were uniquely positioned as a dual threat and a dice roll to get them under a threshold with real cost of first round or higher (and which is traditionally matched because of more proven performance which also reflects on smoother development). This was a decidedly different offer sheet situation on multiple levels.
Anywho, as discussed with Cloned, there's a 200 page thread on this covering all of this group and more. We can run around the pole again there or via DM. But quite honestly the conversation is stale and clearly my pov is tiring people. Inviting the use of the Ignore function for some peeps but really this has been thoroughly beaten to death in its dedicated thread.

At least it's better than when Bob Green hired his stepson as a scout.

I hope this our version of the spleen job.
Why the f*** not Makar. He's not better than Makar.

Makar signed ages ago and with way more RFA years.

Nurse already makes more than Makar. Makar messed up
His contract is meaningless now. And in 2 years Makar can sign for 14M x 8.Dahlin and his 59 points and -3 is unfortunately an easy one to grab onto for Bouch. If we want to try to sign him early. Bouch can always take his chances and wait. Chance at another 80+ point season, a huge cap increase and offer sheet potential would be hard to pass up. He would also get to wait for McDavid to blow through the highest salary ceiling again with the new cap increase.
What an epic fail not signing Bouch long term last year.

Bouchard's camp looking at around $11M avv seems reasonable, honestly, for the player he's developed into.

Plus if he's asking for 11 then chances are he'll settle for 10.
10 flat seems inevitable. He should sign for 9.9 just because it looks nicer

That sort of my thought as well. Either way, worth it at either number. Get him signed, he's a very important player to this team.
Lol nothing but with how Stauffer has been talking and how Bowman said the next two weeks will determine who will be our top 4 RD, it just makes me think that JJ and Bowman aren't the ones who will be patient with guys like Brown and Stecher. If they suck, waive them and we will look for an actual top 4

Good work on a player with little threat of offer sheet. Even floated in speculative trade rumours as a package deal to the Oilers.
Coincidentally maybe not coincidentally, on the very same day the offer sheet bomb dropped the Predators moved out $2.5 million cap Cody Glass for no cap return. Penguins were busy bees that day. Predators acted to give themselves cap room and flexibility.

Potentially it could be more than this, if the team selling is retaining on the incoming player, then the amount you have to spend increases. Most deadline deals have some retention.

I didn't say anything about offer sheets. I said that they didnt lowball Holloway. Some fans were upset that we didn't offer him like 1.5-1.8M.
If anything the fact that Nashville moved glass after the offer sheet just reinforces what I'm saying. The preds didn't have the cap room and could have been targeted.

Some say…
Ya Kane out for the entire year (maybe I’m reading too much into it but I swear he smirked in his press conference about being out), would mean we can potentially add like 20 million in rentals after retention. Thats a seriously huge amount of talent to bring in
Ristolainen is the opposite of what we need.
Maybe Coffey could work his magic with him, there's a lot of talent there, but yeah it'd be a risk.
I think Torts has gotten a lot of the stupid out of his game, but the trade off has been his offense has evaporated.
In theory the Oilers would have around 5M in accrued cap space and 5M in LTIR for 10M total use. With double retention we could acquire guys at $0.25 on the dollar and have 40M or half a roster.
I don't think cap space will be the issue, it will be the assets.
