Hawks would probably take nyquist for Fc's, hopefully flip later at 50% for value
I mean, if it comes to that, sure; but, I think we could get something decent for Gus.
That being said, CapFriendly currently has us at about $3M in cap space, but that is with 29(1) players on the NHL roster. If we move Chinny (who frankly could use more AHL time), (one of) KJ/Marchenko, Gaunce, Meyer, Bayreuther, and Tarasov, that buries about $5M of cap-space, penalty-free, in the AHL. Gaunce, Meyer, and Bayreuther are the only ones not waivers-exempt.
We still need to clear more space if we want to have a healthy buffer for call-ups, and to be compliant on opening-night, but the cap-situation here really isn't that bad at all.
For this move, I don't think Monahan is LTIR? I thought he was supposed to be ready for opening night? If so, that doesn't help our situation.
