No Schneider, no Hronek.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 9:03 pmThe Great Dave Nonis put an end to it, traded for Luongo and drafted Schneider!
He is an outside shot at this point. Silovs has had a solid 12 month run, and is looking legit. But, hey, Ian Clarke seems to have the magic touch, so I wouldn't say Tolopila has no chance.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 5:41 pm Topopopolo is a giant who was considered to be a pretty good prospect, even surpassing Silovs in some people's eyes
Not sure its of "paramount" importance, but it might be the best step forward. I doubt there's a market for him at that cap hit; there might be with 50-66% of salary retained. Since his contract wasn't terribly front loaded, there are real cap savings from a buyout. Cap Friendly shows $3.6M is savings next year (cap hit of $1.15M), $2.6M in savings the following year (cap hit of $2.15M), and cap hits of $1.55M the two years after the contract would have otherwise expired.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 9:11 am I think it’s paramount Alvin cuts his losses on the Mikheyev experiment, trade him some how to free up the cap space to go towards retaining some of Lindholm, Zadorov and Joshua.
Mikheyev and a 5th for a 6th or 7th. Avoid the buyout if at possible.UWSaint wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 9:25 amNot sure its of "paramount" importance, but it might be the best step forward.

But when you use savings to resign players, you need to replace the spot in the line up with at least a league minimum player, who will likely be league minimum in value.
Lol it will be a fair bit more than that. They will want a better pick, a decent prospect and will send back a 1.5 million dollar slug.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:25 pmMikheyev and a 5th for a 6th or 7th.

Realistically, send him to Abby and hope he eventually comes out of hibernation.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:51 pmLol it will be a fair bit more than that.

They upgraded their pick by 60+ spots, and sure, send back a slug (or even 2) at 1.5 or less. Those slugs just get sent down and it’s a couple hundred thousand on the cap (once we call up some ELC boys) vs Mikey’s whollop. Not a big deal, solves the problem for us with minimal expenditure.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:51 pmLol it will be a fair bit more than that.

We traded Dickinson away at 1/2 the cap hit of Mikeyev, and it cost us a 2nd round pick.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 1:32 pmThey upgraded their pick by 60+ spots, and sure, send back a slug (or even 2) at 1.5 or less.

Pretty much. May have to package him out with a sweetener if we would like to get some of Zadorov, Lindholm, Joshua, Myers back and give Hronek a raise. They could trade Hronek and or Garland for futures but I highly doubt they would want to.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 3:05 pm We just can't afford to take on more dead cap. No mas!
