Looking ahead to next years roster...

XXX-Norris-Tsge
Zucker-Kulich-Tuch
Greenway-McLeod-XXX
Malenstyn-Kozak-Lafferty
 Krebs

Others--peterka, quinn, benson, Rosen
-' both Benson and Rosen can go to Rochedterwithout needing th o clear waivers

Sam-Dahlin
Byram-XXX
Power-Clffton
RyJo-JBD

UPL
Levi


Then there is cap space

Levi $1.5M
McLeod $3.5M
Kozak, RyJo, JBD-$1M/League min
Krebs is the 13F

Based on current contracts and that cap space in a 13/8/2 roster

They need to sign Byram. Get a RD, a LW and a RW. and 13F with around $19M in space

I see one of Power/ Byram/Sam traded and one of Peterka/Quinn traded

I think if the sign/ match OS on Peterka to a high contract exposes Quinn to a max 2nd comp OS

I'm skeptical on that Rangers offe. I think it was a convoluted 1st and a cap dump like Zibs or a LD they dont need

Well. If buffalo signs all their rfas to market level deals and doesn’t move any salary out, they will be close to the cap. Is the team willing to spend that much to be close to the cap?

They will be spending 13 million more if they ‘run it back’ in terms of salary than this year.

Maybe an offer sheet isn’t about whether they have space or not but are they willing to spend it. And that will be after the buyout period is over so they won’t have easy options to cut costs. And what if that player has already asked for a trade?

It’ll be an interesting summer, that’s for sure.

Why in the world would we sign Bo Byram?

Pay 7 plus to retain a redundant skill set that can only play with the guy anyone can play with?

I agree, but why would we trade our 60 point top 6 C to get a guy we don't even need. I'm not high about Power either, but having Byram on the team makes almost no sense.

 

[SundherDome]

I don't care if a player wants out. What I do care about is we have a competent GM that can bring back a better player.

Bye bitch, go fumble pucks somewhere else

Truth Bomb that Adams is a clown and clueless.

I bet Pronger would be a better GM than Kevyn.

That center spine will have us in the McKenna sweepstakes for sure.

I bet Pronger would be a better GM than Kevyn.

it would be difficult to be worse. At least if Pronger mesed up this badly he'd be fired.

If we used HFBoard polls to make roster moves it would be better than Adams

Wonder if Pronger wants the POHO job?

We probably could have had mitts back for very cheap

I'm not sure, but I think I read that Pronger hasn't seemed interested in working in the NHL in recent years. At least he has experience as an advisor.

They went out and overpaid for Eric Johnson last year and he…had no measurable impact. These guys have needed an on-ice mentor who is actually good.
