How good would they be 240 goals for

If the Devils decide to spend money in free agency, they could start contending soon. I would love if this happen but I doubt it will. I also like how the Devils still have 10 mil in cap space after these signings

I would've liked to see Blackwood locked up on a 7-8 year deal last summer. He's absolutely the real deal and the best young goalie in the NHL, imo. Given that Subban will be a pending UFA next season, I love the idea of adding Nurse. Devils desperately need size on the back end.

Great work, btw. I love the looks of this team. Even if they got 2 of the 3 big UFA's.

for this season I am showing and the next, yes. By 24-25 that money would likely dry up quickly if the cap were still relatively flat in 5 years. if it goes up by by about 10 mil over that period of time they would be pretty golden. Not impossible with the new tv deal and the hopes that the league begins to rebound following a season full of fans in the seats, but I wouldnt count on it.

If they ony have $10m in space by 24-25 they would be in trouble when the devils hopefully have a reason to pay smith and holtz about 5 or 6 mil a piece or more on bridge or long term deals. Blackwood would also need significantly larger contract, along severson and with most of the bottom 6. I suspect zacha and bratt will max out around 5 million on their next deals if they perform, so thats only an extra 2 million total against the cap compared to the deals I have them on now; however, they would already be in the red at that point. I have a sneaky suspicion that Wood will get overpaid, so I gave him 5.1 million. If he continues at his current pace, that is fine I suppose, but if reverts to his form of the last two years at any point, that will really bite the devils in the butt
