Right Prod, so we have about 3 mill left for a 12th forward, a R shot top 6 winger. Maybe Step takes 5.7 over 6 years. Maybe we get the trio back for 3.2 instead of 3.5. As I said yesterday I expect around 3 mill left to sign a winger. We'll see how it goes.
Ok Prod, I didn't know the cap hits for them. Kinda surprised... Idk why this team doesn't tell that fuckin relic Boyle he's done and has to accept a trade to another team... That's 4.5 mil that can go elsewhere
Miller will get between 1.5 and 2 at least now, as he's viewed as a semi-key piece of the puzzle. Fast may still not break 1m. They should have around 3m to work with in FA. Everyone wants Williams but i'm not sold on him as he's getting up there.
This is fair, I guess I was counting Lindberg as the 12th forward then saying no money left, whereas the FA signing could be the 12th forward himself. Although your 3m assumes no 7th D will be signed. We're obviously down to the nitty gritty with this cap, and we have no idea how these numbers will shake out. Im praying Glass is sent out after July 1 after he gets his roster bonus. That's an extra 750k right there if we replace him with Lindberg.
I agree Prod. I just happen to think you move Hags to add the winger we need, not just to fit the guys we have under the cap. If that was the focus find a way to keep Hags and it also goes 100% against what we have tried to do the past few seasons. I don't see us standing with the team we have right now...no way IMO.
Ideally yes, but I just have a bad feeling that the front office doesnt see it like we do. The time to clear space was at the draft, unless they are working on a player-for-player deal.
I'd imagine Sather has a deal in mind or is working towards a trade. Or maybe we keep our sick defense together and take a risk up front till the league shakes out the winners and losers and we can trade who knows. There is a lot of time before September preseason, anything is possible....even Nash packing his bags for another venue. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Another possibility is just riding it out as constructed and waiting until around the deadline, when the cap hits are pro-rated. That kind of worries me though, as we dont have the picks necessary to win those bidding wars. We shall see.
