You're not wrong but as you elude to, their are a lot of moving pieces including the possibility of moving/buying out Burr, moving Miller etc this summer as well. Not to mention that depending on who we do sign via UFA may effect other trades and movement of salary. I think it's fairly safe to say we'll likely have $10-12m to play with on free agents but, you're right, as of right now there's a LOT of potential variability.

Putgolzin Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 And you're also not wrong in the way your limited amount of insight takes a back seat to your swagger and name-calling. You've picked up the ways of the CDC very nicely already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I could see Higgins and Burrows either traded (with retention) or bought out this offseason. I think Miller stays, at least until the trade deadline. All of his money (and then some) will have to go to Horvat, Markstrom, and Hutton for 2017/18...can't use it on long-term free agent deals anyways.

aliboy Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 What I see, Vrbata - Prust - Cracknell = 8 mil. Miller - Hammer - Weber = 12 mil. We have to re-sign Baer and Etem, so about 15 mil in cap space. Then the following year Burr and any residual from Higgins comes off, plus hopefully the cap goes up, to re-sign Bo and Hutton.

Baer, Vey, Etem, Pedan, Kenins, Cannata, Fedun, Grenier... That said, a lot of those guys won't cost a ton to re-sign and likely a few will be waived (and likely clear) or traded, not re-signed etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
