Tciso... you were projecting the future like the Simpsons.. but your 250k underTciso wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2024 9:59 am So, messing around with the line up. Here is a projection. If we kep/replace Myers and Cole for $3.5mil, we are in good shape. Here is my estimate. Sorry if the formatting goes to shit. But, my lineup is only over by $1.5 mil, with 23 players. Demote a couple of 4th liners, and we fit under the cap. I just ignored Poolman, as we will need his LTIR. I also still managed $7mil for Hronek and Lindholm, $5 for Zed, and $3 for Joshua. So, don't get your shit into a media frenzied knot. We could come back with basically the same lineup pretty easily. Now, it's time to make improvements, not just hanging onto what we had.
2 Pettersson, Elias C, LW 25 $11,600,000
1 Miller, J.T. C, LW, RW 31 $8,000,000
1 Boeser, Brock RW 27 $6,650,000
3 Garland, Conor RW, LW 28 $4,950,000
4 Mikheyev, Ilya LW, RW 29 $4,750,000
1 Suter, Pius C, LW 28 $1,600,000
2 Höglander, Nils LW, RW 23 $1,100,000
2 Podkolzin, Vasily RW, LW 22 $1,000,000
S Åman, Nils C 24 $825,000
S Di Giuseppe, Phillip LW 30 $775,000
4 Blueger, Teddy C, LW 29 $1,800,000
3 Joshua, Dakota LW 28 $3,000,000
4 Lafferty, Sam RW, C, LW 29 $1,200,000
3 Lindholm, Elias C, RW 29 $7,000,000
1 Hughes, Quinn "C" LD 24 $7,850,000
2 Soucy, Carson LD/RD 29 $3,250,000
S Juulsen, Noah RD 27 $775,000
1 Hronek, Filip RD 26 $7,000,000
3 New Cole LD/RD 35 $1,000,000
3 New Meyers RD 34 $2,500,000
2 Zadorov, Nikita LD/RD 29 $5,000,000
1 Demko, Thatcher G 28 $5,000,000
2 Silovs, Arturs G 23 $950,000
Ekman-Larsson, Oliver $2,346,667
Total $89,921,667
Only $1.5 too high. Someone else should be making these over payments.
I think goalies get a fourth year of waiver exemption UW, not positive on that but I do believe.UWSaint wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:12 pm I also thought *finding the next Joshua* was probably the best approach if you wanted more cash to devote to doing something in free agency. A bit of Roussel/Beagle/Dorsett PTSD on this one. (Insofar as its a multiyear move for third liners). I think its both too much and not too much -- here's what I mean -- It's not too much because I think there's someone out there who will want Joshua at this price, and therefore be willing to pay for it. When a guy wouldn't pass through waivers, its like not signing him. Of course, it could become like that if Joshua regresses. It is too much because I think I'd rather have the $$ to increase options to address the top 6 and get least one more reliable D in the fold.
I'm not a Joshua fanboy. I am consistently underwhelmed with his skating (terrible edgework) and lack of readiness. But of course he does some thing well, he did improve last year, and the thing he improved most on last year that I think was most valuable to the team was his PK work and defensive game when defending a lead. These qualities are often second thoughts for fans (and some GMs), but I think signing BlueGill and Joshua evinces a pretty definitive desire to get to a "floor" on PK so its not a "limiting" condition on UFA/trade targets.
As for the DeSmith rumors (are they still rumors?), they don't make a ton of sense because (1) I don't know why DeSmith would want to return unless the offer was the best he could get and (2) I don't think I want to see a goalie salary structure where DeSmith is getting the best he could could. I suppose leverage for signing Silovs makes sense if he's offer sheet eligible. Is he? I don't think he's got enough games, but I might not understand the rules.
Jay Beagle and Antoine Roussel were quality signings around the same money.Topper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 11:59 amOnly $1.5 too high. Someone else should be making these over payments.
Is this the auterity learned from Mik anf Kuz? LOL
What will they give 20 goal scorer CoHog? An Uber to the airport I hope.
