2021-22 Preds not too shabby

Équipe: 2021-22 Predators de Nashville

Date de création initiale: 21 oct. 2020

Publié: 21 oct. 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Assumptions:
-We lose Jarny in expansion and he lights it up in Seattle as a 2nd line winger that needed a change of scenery a la Reilly Smith lite (cover top 4 D and Fil, Arvy, Duchy, and either Joey/Kunin but the other one doesn't get taken bc they had a bad year)
-We go out and sign Hall (or trade/sign another top 6 FA) with some of the extra cap space
-Tolvanen doesn't live up to the hype, so we sign him to a 1-2 year deal and make him our 3rd line volume shooter AKA our new Craig Smith
-Pekka retires; we get really cheap goaltending by signing Juice to something like 3 years
$3.5M meanwhile Ingram is the backup until Askarov is ready (gives us ~4 years of solid goaltending under $5M cap hit)
-Cap goes up $2M in 2022-23 because of the new TV deal and COVID being over; we have $4M to give raises to Ehky and Forsberg on their next deals, we may have to shed Boro or Grimaldi and replace with an ELC so we can resign any RFAs that need a raise (Trenin/Tolvy)
