HKSR Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Just my take on our cap situation into the next few years. For 2021-22: - The big UFA splash of acquiring Larsson for $6M AAV, which means Edler walks - Petey and Hughes sign identical bridge deals of $6.5M x 3 - UFA LW... thinking someone like Nosek for $3M AAV - Virtanen, Beagle, and Roussel for bags of pucks (this is probably the biggest challenge) - Sutter walks - Holtby taken by Kraken in Expansion Draft, serviceable backup for $2.5M AAV Gives us a 2021-22 lineup that looks like: Boeser Miller Hogs Nosek Petey Podkolzin Pearson Bo Lind Motte Hawryluk Highmore MacEwen Hughes Larsson Schmidt Hamonic Rathbone/Juolevi Myers Chatfield Demko Backup For 2022-23 and future: - Boeser signs an extension at $7M AAV - Bo signs at $6.5M AAV - Miller at $7.5M AAV - Key is to have most of the other contracts expiring 2024-25 to give a lot of flexibility to re-sign Petey and Hughes for the big contracts they'll likely command then, as well as Podkolzin's new deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEGCanuck Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Like your thinking, but Larsson is definitely not worth six mil, $5 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Or, more likely is that Sutter and Edler are re-signed. And Roussel, Virtanen, and Beagle, along with Loui are still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider how much Brock's bridge deal was I think it's going to be at least 8 million to sign the both on 3 year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) You willing to part with our 1st for Loui? That's what it's going to take going by precedent. Also Edmonton has more projected cap than us. The squeeze is harder for us than them. So I dunno if we can poach Larsson that easily.

He's down in the taxi squad area of the spreadsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey and Hughes at $6.5M in a covid world with a flat cap for at least a couple more years is more than realistic. I dunno of any players that signed $8M bridge deals lmao 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if we can get him for $5M in an open market, then I'm all for it. I just placed a premium on his price because that's realistically what happens in free agency.

CoquitlamDave Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Like the plan. Dont see us getting Larsson or moving those contracts so easily. But this is most fans hopes (rather than realities). Myself, i consider Bo Horvat our most developed and valuable player. Crazy to have him on the third line (of course he'd log PP time to up his worth). And Nosek loves the knights, hard to image him moving. But i understand any decent second line winger fits that bill if the price is right.

JM_ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 @HKSR I like what you've done here, all but Larsson, for me he's really over rated and not worth the $. I'd rather just keep developing the right side with Woo and capable but not flashy players like Hamonic, who imo bring just as good a game as Larsson.

But i understand any decent second line winger fits that bill if the price is right. I think it's more of 3 scoring lines rather than a 3rd line per se. The minutes could be pretty evenly distributed as each line is a threat offensively. Moving out the bad contracts is literally the biggest challenge. Agreed on that for sure. And yes, doesn't have to be Nosek. Any decent Top 9 fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
