2021-22 Under Cap

Michael Bunting was scoring at 26.3% so I wouldn't count on him to be a steady top 6 contributor, but at $900k there is relatively no risk if he manages to play decently. There's also Simon Ryfors who could earn a top 6 spot instead.

Detroit accepts, players are useful.

Detroit accepts and that's pretty much what it would cost for us to take TJ's contract off your books. With that said, I don't think you'll need to do that. I bet you can package TJ to Seattle, probably with another hefty contract as well (like Palat), for probably less assets, as you have players that would still be useful to an expansion team and buying those assets is more valuable to them. I could see TJ, Palat, ABB and a 1st being a good package to Seattle and it makes a lot of sense both ways as well.

I think the Kraken will try to get something additional if they take Palat. If the Bolts don't add an enticement, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Kraken take a young player like Joseph. All the other GM's (especially Francis) know the Bolts need to make some hard choices, and I don't expect them to make it easy for them.

Finally a reasonable tj offer, kudos my man
