Coconuts Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Tetsuro88 said: i figure most/all teams would want at least a 1st to absorb the Eriksson contract. A team like Ottawa may want just some warm bodies to fill the roster, and pay less cash overall. Besides, moving Eriksson would be moving cap this year and next year so it helps with signing EP/QH next year as well. Well worth the 1st in my opinion as our 1st would likely be #20+ Moving one first is one thing, but I don't see management being willing to move multiple firsts. As this team progresses we'll need talent on ELC's, and top talent is easiest to get in the first round.

Coconuts Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Colorado's loaded on the right side with Johnson and Makar, I wonder if they'd be interested in adding him. That'd be an embarrassment of riches on one side though.. And Johnson's making 6m with a NMC, I don't see him being interested in leaving to make room for Petro. They're one of the few really competitive teams that could swing it without much of a problem. Edited October 10, 2020 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frees up 10.5 mil in cap right there. Enough to sign an impact player like Pietrangelo. Yes for sure, depending on what Pietrangelo is asking. It would be a late first as we would still have cap room to sign another impact dman like Tanev or Hamonic to fill out the rd by doing that deal. Doubt someone take Eriksson and Sutter though, but maybe Benn instead to make it 8m off the books. Edler Pietrangelo Hughes Tanev Juolevi Myers Rafferty/Rathbone That instantly makes our D corpse the best we have ever had. While we lose Toffoli, we had a solid offense this season before getting him so we would be solid there, and we have a solid tandem in net with Holtby and Demko now. A move like this would make us an instant cup contender. Only worry is money available next year for Hughes and Petey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well Vegas (if they can move cap), Columbus, Bruins, New York, Colorado. And us if we can move cap. We still need to sign 2 dmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need the night to clear the cap space If Benning is trying to clear space for a big move he needs to realize it’s gonna cost him. Calling all 30 other teams and begging them to take Eriksson is not gonna work. Need to add serious value if you wanna dump him. Otherwise don’t tell us you tried to unload cap.

We still need to sign 2 dmen. Rangers have fox, trouba, deangelo on the right side with smith & staal and recently signed Johnson. 19ish mill in cap space, Deangelo, lemiuex, strome and georgiev all need contracts Next 2-4 seasons kakko & lafrenierre will need big money. I highly doubt Pietrangelo goes to cbj with torts there. Need to sign PLD and have 14mil in cap space. Colorado has 20mil in space, but have 14 players signed. Burakovsky, kamenev, nichuskin, jost, zadorov and graves are all rfa. Also need an upgrade in goal over francouz and grubaur. After next season, makar and landeskog need contracts. Boston (barf) could easily add Pietrangelo, although they are pretty solid at RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
