Backstrom and Wilson out long term

bottom 3 team.

100%, lmao. Only thing that matters at this point is Ovi scoring goals

Value on Graves deal seems fine. But I doubt we would do that at beginning of year, but maybe at deadline if we are out of playoff picture.

CGY doesn't need to add a 2nd Rd Pick to get a 6th Rd Pick for Monahan.
Eliminate the 2nd and you have GMBT listening.

Philly had to attach a 2022 2nd and a 2022 7th for Arizona to take on Shayne Gostisbehere's contract and his cap hit was only $4.5M. Calgary also has ~$27M to sign Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Mangiapane. Not to mention CGY has only 12 players (6 F, 4 D, and 2 G) next season with that. Evolving Hockey's contract projections have Gaudreau getting an 8 year deal with an $11.630 cap hit, Tkachuk getting an 8 year deal with an $11.270 cap hit, and Mangiapane with a 5 year deal with a $5.835 cap hit. Those three contracts alone are $28,735,000. You're going to have to pay to offload Monahan's contract. No one is taking his cap hit for "free", especially not without CGY retaining some of that salary.
