Bergy comes back at a discount to play year 100, but probably at a limited role for stretches of time, keep the 1st line together that worked so well
2nd line - Merkulov is a playmaker and gets one of the best finishers in the league. Still a little skeptical if he can take the hits the NHL will bring, but skillwise he's ready
3rd line - Coyle/Lauko played great together, and can swap in the right side for someone we either trade for, or a smaller winger like Steen, if a deal can't be done
4th Line - pretty much all bruiser line with Freddy for center if Beecher not working out. Won't score much on this line, but will be amusing all violence
OEL signing is probably Light, but figured if he wanted to come here last time, maybe he takes a chance on himself on a 1yr prove it deal. I know this will get outbid, but you can replace him with Beaulieu for similar cap hit
For this, BOS commits to more of a youth movement and still gaining some draft capital. Lets Lysell, Lohrei, Bussi and Bowers comfortably develop 1 more year until ready.
I think Lias Andersson and Mac can interchange a bit for Steen and Merkulov in case not really working out
Le salaire annuel moyen (AAV) de l'offre hostile est calculé en divisant la valeur totale du contrat par: 1. La durée totale du contrat, ou 2. Cinq ans
Soucy replacement, still a very serviceable no 4/5 D-Man, and just finished a great season. Points have been trending upwards every year in the league, has never finished with a - rating, and can comfortably and reliably play both sides. I'd like to keep him, but i think Graves maybe fits a bit better right now going for a younger team
i see a lot of Ty Smith and a 1st for Ullmark on here. I think i'd rather a middle 6 prospect, decent young d-man, and a security blanket in case Bussi has a band camp and needs another year. I'm not confident Keyser can get it done yet, and Dipietro/Svedback still aren't ready.
This lets a go for it team still keep #13 for a different asset in maybe a Carter cap dump for someone like Arviddson on the Kings or similar
Might be an overpayment, but i think it's a conversation starter, and this doesn't block Pickerings progression
sign/trade Graves 5x5.25
Hall still has value. 0.5pts/game on a 3rd line not really built for scoring. I think still has great value in a support top 6 role, and still keep up speed wise
Forbort - Great PK specialist and shot-blocker, and adds a lot of size/grit to a younger team. Should make them a pain to play against
Not sure if the values right, but i think giving up a bit less to facilitate the Graves deal so BOS doesn't have to go in to a bidding war is deserving of less coming back than would get elsewhere. Basically Hall for Foote/2nd and Forbort as a thank you for putting the Sign/trade together
now with a little cap space, we can make a move similar to this one. Idk if this is even close in value/interest.
Roslovic in last year of deal and idk CBJ plan with him moving forward, but this also opens 3mil in cap space for CBJ to keep being a bit more aggressive
i know but i think day 1 Swayman gets a QO that we'll probably need to match, unless someone goes stupid high. We obviously should match anything under 4.2, but then Ullmark stock i think drops, especially with HEllybuck now requesting a trade too, so i valued it a little low to at least get something back
Quoting: NJDevils1317
Devils pass. No real use for Forbert. I high price for a team desperate to move $. If you can get it elsewhere then go for it.
I figured Bahl and Graves were gone so at least bring back someone serviceable, and almost every ACGM i see from the Devils wants Hall back (i know doesn't mean anything in the real world) but i think still pretty fair value to get him just for facilitating a sign/trade, I can remove him and send him elsewhere for a 5/6th like most are saying if really no interest in him though

wrong wording, meant to say "IF" Graves and Bahl are gone. But i think Bahl can play right side too? so maybe role Bahl/Forbort as a shutdown 3rd pair and a pain to play against with that much size
Wasn't sure if they were set on signing him, or trying to trade him etc
