Was playing around with CapFriendly.
-I did not know that both Benoit and Gregor are RFA's. Both should be cheap resigning who bring value.
-If we could get Brodie at a discount, say 2 million, and we turned the savings into Pesce at around 5 million, we could run Rielly - Pesche, McCabe - Lily, and Benoit - Brodie. It's not amazing, but it's solid, and for not that much more money than we are spending now. If Lily takes a step, then we have a decent blue line.
-I'm not sure what to do regarding Robertson. Has skill, but doesn't fit into the lineup and is an RFA at the end of the year. Do we package him for a D at the deadline? I'd like a really good one if thats the case.
-With cap going up and expiring contracts, resigning Nylander at 11 million still leaves us with a substantial amount of space. It is not as bad as it might appear, because we're saving so much on goalies.
