With the addition of Norris, Tarasenko and Kubalik those 3 players that's a least 82 more goals, if everyone can stay relatively healthy we should be able to compete for top 3 in our division. If NJD can go from bottom to top I don't see why we can't do it either. let's goooo

Maybe they just waive Joseph and send him down, even though he’s good defensive player. Is Andlauer ok paying someone that much to plain Belleville?

Also, we’re losing some quality Pk guys.

I'd claim him if I was the Ducks. But at the same time, they have an internal budget. But they do need to improve defensively and even more on the PK

if we have to attach a 1st or Greig/Kleven to move Joseph, or we move Brann, then I will not be happy.

They wont have to attach Greig or Kleven or a 1st to move Joseph.

If they can use Brannstrom + a pick to move Joseph.. they can move Kleven up and have enough to add someone else\

wow guys 1 minute! Greig is a Top-50 NHL prospect. Kleven is not far behind

And Brannstrom + pick? That is pretty valuable as well. Brannstrom has averaged 24 pts per 82 games since 2020-21 and had top-30 D-men metrics last season. He's 23 y/o with already 190 NHL games.

Joseph 2.95 AAV is not ideal but he can't be that much overpaid... lol

He had 30 pts in 69 games in 2021-22 (same as Laughton) and despite a down year last season, he had a 24 pts pace. But that's not where he is the most valuable, it's defensively and on the PK. I think he's easily worth 2.0 AAV

If Dorion gives up Greig, Kleven or Brannstrom to get rid of Joseph contract... ... ...

Imagine giving up Nick Paul and Greig/Kleven/Brannstrom for a 4th! :laugh:

Gotta sell tickets... Lost DeBrincat already so Dorion probably wanted to bring a big name to make it look like we improved

But if we go DeBrincat + Batherson to Kubalik + Tarasenko, we're in deep shit

If we Batherson plays we are deep at forward but lacking a bit in good 2-way players. We need Pinto to take the next step defensively to carry his line. Greig will be excellent almost right away IMO. Thinking of going with a Greig-Pinto-Giroux shutdown 2-way shutdown line (Giroux would get his PP points too)

The thing is we need DJ to coach this thing very wisely. A lot of pressure on him I think



Please tell me he never really said that
Personally I think DeBrincat is overrated, defensively is a huge liability and he had his 40 goals seasons playing along side Kane, last year 27 goals was a big disappointment. It will be interesting to see if he's able to scored 40 goals again without Patrick Kane?? This team is better then last year's team

Joseph was good last year. I’m surprised by the number of people saying he should go to make space. I’d rather start with someone on LTIR or make a depth move. Joseph overskates a lot and is a bit erratic, but he drives the play and has a wicked shot.

Did you sing the same tune before? Because I did and basically nobody agreed with me.

So we get 1.8 mil in cap relief if we waive Joseph and send him down. That gives us 1.83 mil to sign Pinto and start at 12 forwards only.

Maybe we can do what San Jose did with Lebanc and sign Pinto for 1 mil/1 year, followed by an overpayment next year?

teams can bury up to $1.15 million in the AHL -- cap relief
they are on the hook for the 1.8

It’s an NHL ruling, it only matters what the NHL is deeming inappropriate behaviors' detrimental to the league.
I hate wading into this but not quite. What is deemed inappropriate still needs to hold up in court. The NHL needs to be calculated because of the law suits the union could file afterwards. This isn't a drunk in public case with relatively little on the line. The conclusions from the investigation need to support the suspension to a reasonable extent because the players/union may fire back.

If Bath is the pizza guy and that story as we understand it is corroborated I would doubt he's suspended.

One year, good.

$5 mil and NMC, bad.

Not judging until the other shoe is dropped. Who and what are we moving to fit him under the cap? And if we have to attach a 1st or Greig/Kleven to move Joseph, or we move Brann, then I will not be happy.
Based on last year Joseph is overpaid by $1 million or so. He is still a useful player. A sweetener for him would be a second rounder at best.

Some teams may think Brannstrom is worth no more than a 3rd round pick. Maybe a 2nd not a 1st.
The price to move Joseph will be the value of a 2nd is my guess

And the 2.95 is for 3 years .. if he doesn't perform to that ? Not going to be free

Tarasenko will probably do what Debrincat did last year. 25 goals and suck defensively. But if he plays with BT and Timmy they will cover up alot of those defensive shortcomings.

Sens have a $895, 000 in cap space right now so burying Joseph in the AHL would give them $2 million to sign Pinto for next season. That works.
Puts us at 12 forwards. We’d need him to sign at 1.1 mil at a one year bridge if we want a 22-man roster.

weird they were showing 53k or something like that 1/2 an hour ago. I wonder what the difference is.
I think that was including Greig. The 800k is only after he’s sent down and we have 11 forwards signed.

That would do it,

In this image they have a roster size of 19/23. Cap friendly now shows a roster size of 18/23

Greig at 863 + the 32 puts it at 895. Well that is better .. I don't think they'll lowball Pinto that low coming off 1.325 AAV .. the QO can be as low as 874

On no planet would Greig or Kleven need to be included to move Joseph, come on... You just retain $750k-$1M if you have to. Joseph at $2M would be picked up by a rebuilding team.

Personally I think a viable solution is to LTIR Forsberg and put Brannstrom in a showcase position through October and trade him for picks/prospect early in the season after a contending team gets an injury on their blue line. I like Brannstrom but he is going to become our most expendable asset with + - 2nd rd pick value (and we will regret it but what can you do...)
