How Are We Out Of Cap Space?

Recommended Posts

After signing Kassian, Tanev and Vey we will essentially be spending as much as all the top teams in the league, how is this possible? It doesn't compute. On paper the only teams that appear to have less talent than us in the west are AZ, NSH and CGY. Looking at our roster on capgeek feels the same as looking at your bank account after going on a bender in Vegas.

Look at our 1st line..its almost 20 mil...almost 8 mil for 2 goalies,,Burrows, Edler and Juice add up to almost 15 million...looks like we went all in on the River card.

Haha

We just added 11m.

Add on 4 players who have a LOT of improving to do:

Sedins at $14

Burrows and Edler at $9.5

Half your salary right there.

Fill out the rest of the team with the rest.

Our defence is surprisingly great value compared to some of the others out there. Bieksa, Edler, Hamhuis and Tanev all for 17-18M. Then you've got Sbisa/Corrado/Stanton/Weber for scraps filling out our bottom pairing quite nicely.

We're getting burned with the Miller and Vbrata deals but they're only short term until this team is ready to dish out some heavy contracts to its youngsters. Lack, Kassian, Jensen, Horvat and Shinkaruk will command big dollars in about 3 or 4 years once the 11M of "rentals" has expired and hopefully Burrows is gone by then too. 4.5M for a 3rd or 4th liner is a joke.

Can't win a Stanley cup without spending to the cap.

Sedins will get the Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy this year and then hoist the cup.

Miller will pick up his second Vezina

And Edler will pick up his first Norris.

Preparing for NHL 15 I see...
