The cap is unfortunately a thingI’m starting to wonder if we’re trying to get two D-men. I’m thinking it’s Dumba and Durzi.
The cap is unfortunately a thing
You're making me hungry!Sharks. Eat salary. Yotes. Eat salary. Karlsson comes home
I wonder how far he can do the Knuckle Hop?Dude isn’t what he used to be after suffering some injuries the last 2 seasons.
My outlandish hope is that he's made it known that he wants to re-write his story in Ottawa and that's where he wants to be and that it leads to a favorable deal on a Karlsson return to Ottawa.You're making me hungry!
But norris won’t be ltir next year. And stutzle massive raise kicks inAccording to Capfriendly, Norris is officially on LTIR so we have 11+ million in available cap space and 18 million on deadline space.
Even if Norris isn’t on LTIR the salary cap gets weird at the deadline. You only have to count the remainder of the player’s contract against the cap - not the full contract.
Should Norris be on LTIR we could trade only futures for both EK and Dumba and still be golden…
So why don’t we

So based on recent news we’re going to be making an unpopular trade soon.
Sigh.
What recent news? Did I miss something?
And which recent news are you referring to?So based on recent news we’re going to be making an unpopular trade soon.

Maybe a 3-way trade based around Chychrun and Talbot to LA, Roy to OTT, picks/prospects + Zaitsev to AZ.
I like Thomson and want to keep him.These are the guys that they should dangle in any trades ... Joseph, Watson, Motte, Gambrell, Brassard, Kelly, Holden, Hamonic, Zaitsev, Brannstrom, Thomson & Talbot. There are also a number from Belleville & prospects who could be traded, but a few that I would not trade. I'm sure they could put together a package from this group.

Another name I am wondering would be available is John Gibson from Anaheim.
Would he be a potential goalie target for us?
Chychurn can be had and he's the only guy that makes sense imo. This just has to get done.
He's a high end dman that will complete the core. A high end do it all guy that will support Cabby and Sandy. We can make a deal without including Pinto or Greig. And we can dump Zaitsev in the process. There is no other better trading partner than AZ.
Everything fits in place properly. Pay the top 3 protected first, more picks, boucher and JBD - and call it a day.
Can he play the right side tho?
If he doesn't, it's a lot to give up for a player that doesn't totally fit the need
How isn’t he a bonafide top pairing d man.Not to mention the injury history. A guy to seems to hover around 55 games per year won't help us that much in the playoffs.
And I really don't feel comfortable moving a 2023 1st unless we're talking a bonafide top pairing RD (and Chychrun definitely isn't that).
I mean… it can definitely be disputed lol.out of all the players i see listed they would make such a paltry impact compared to Karlsson and how he is playing right now.
he is a an undisputable all time great, greater than Alfredsson, Chara, Hossa. To add a player like that to this current roster with minimal pain is an incredible opportunity.
