Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome

 

[ShanahanMan]

LETS GOOOO!! Wanted either him or Skinner to FINALLY have winger scoring threats on top 2 lines. Great signing!

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

YESSSSS don't even care about AAV need some damn marquee names on the team and I liked Tarasenko of what I saw in the playoffs and he also isn't Jeff Skinner lol

 

[Bench]

Two years is a nice surprise!

You have to wonder if Datsyuk being back in town helped? I know Tarasenko idolized him as a kid.

 

[ricky0034]

guess he isn't a Penguin

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

I am very happy. Kane and Tank. Beauties of top 6 forwards

 

[saska sault]

Thats hilarious.... and awesome. Just saw a Sportsnet post saying he was the top free agent followed shortly after... Zadina... he was basically the only upgrade at forward out there. Love the term, he essentially is Perrons replacement and can be shuffled down if guys progress quicker than expected.

Wouldnt be surprised if more dominos are falling shortly.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Same cap hit, less term than Ottawa gave Perron haha

 

[Henkka]

Oh, this is a great surprise.

And we went over the cap by 2.6M.

Some moves are gonna happen.

yup big difference between Tarasenko and Skinner is that Tarasenko can take on a diminished role well enough, Skinner will become a liability

Oh, this is a great surprise.

And we went over the cap by 2.5M.

Some moves are gonna happen.

goodbye 2026 2nd lol

Over the cap? Mo and Ray didnt sign yet.. we cant be over the cap. Unless im missing something.

Henkka… Raymond and Seider aren’t signed yet. This puts us at what, 17m remaining. What are you talking about?

quite perplexed as well lol

its so obvious

he knows something we don't! (just run with it @Henkka )

 

[Henkka]

Stevie couldn't resist, when former BLUES PLAYER was available.

Puckpedia has been super fast updating things so far. Good to see they'll be reliable after the closure of Capfriendly happens.

Sitting at $16 million right now.

Yes, we can be whole summer over the cap.

Be cap compliant before the start of the season.

I live in the future and already counting everything totals with the projected RFA deals.

I mean the projected deals for RFAs are pretty much locked to be at certain level, and I'm already counting them in. With the estimations we are over the cap.

But there's also too much players, so some material are gonna be traded somwhere and current cap or roster for sure isn't the season starting cap or roster.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Wonder how the top 6 will be constructed now.

 

[Winger98]

Over the cap? Mo and Ray didnt sign yet.. we cant be over the cap. Unless im missing something.

Henka always includes a guestimate for our cap that includes Ray and Seider deals. At this point, if we're looking at max term for the kids we're probably having to move people just to make them work. If we're not moving people, we're looking at bridges for the kids.

Perron was only 4.0M for Ottawa. Too much still.

Tarasenko is 4.75M - the old Red Wings Perron caphit.

 

[DamonDRW]

One of my favorite players... 10 years back. Still quite usable.

 

[Detroit Knights]

10 forwards on roster, 11 if you count raymond. Something else gonna happen?

kyle connor come on down?
