Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

A little shake up in Philly. Moving 2 core pieces out in Ghost and Voracek, but the returns are reasonable and make sense. Subban has been rumored to be on the market and they are looking for offense in return. Voracek can provide that being a 60-80 point player. Contracts are around the same price so makes sense. Philly gets a much needed Top Pair D man for Provorov for at least the next three years at 9m. Also helps with the future and signing young guys. Voracek at 8.25m for the next 5 years could’ve caused some cap issues. Next, Ghost for Drouin. In my other posts this has been my trade when it comes to Ghost. Seems like MTL is rumored to be most interested and I believe Chuck knows it has to be Drouin at least. Drouin known for having extreme talent but just having a weird career. Think being in Philly can be a breathe of fresh air and could see him produce very well playing along side Giroux-Coots. Comes at a much more manageable cost at a 5.5m AAV and can most likely give you as much production as Voracek. Last move is trading for Kapanen’s rights. If we want Kap I believe trading for his rights is the way to go. Can get him at a much more reasonable price contract wise. No need to over pay with an offer sheet. He’s unproven but shown promise and worth the risk to take. And hell hes Sami Kapanen’s kid so why not lol.
And yes when looking at the lineup that is Joël Farabee on the 4th line. I think he blows away everyone in camp. He has the scrappiness to his game to start out at 4th line minutes. Maybe he eventually earns the third line spot and you bump Lindblom down. Vigneault is known for playing talented rookies on the 4th line, ask Rangers fans about Buchnevich. Nothing wrong with having talent up through the whole lineup.
