Dubas using Evolving Hockey Contract Projections

Apparently, Dubas is willing to trade the 14 OV in a goalie trade, I think he tries going after Hellebuyck over Gibson, but could settle with the latter. If he does go FA route, then yeah probably Korpisalo or maybe Andersen (assuming there's no bad blood there) for something like 3.5Mx2.

JT Compher at 5.75M, especially to play 3C, is definitely something he wouldn't do.

Yeah I looked at compher as that guy who starts on the 3rd line but if it doesnt work out as 3C, then can get moved up to wing on the 2nd line. Our bottom 6 was something he made sure to talk about so its possible, but also possible he goes 2 guys around 2.5-3. It'll be interesting, I can't wait

Yeah, with Carter making 3M (that's not going anywhere) and being a strong center, I could see him go with him as the 3C for now and sign someone like Pius Suter as you did to be the 3C going forward. Maybe he goes with a familiar face in Kerfoot at 3.5M if he wants someone that he thinks can go up and down the lineup. Kerfoot did spend most of his time last year on the 3rd and 4th line though, so I think Dubas would be reluctant to hand him 3.5M. For 4C, David Kampf if the Leafs don't resign him.

He'll look to add value by signing untendered RFAs as well so guess we need to see who is available.

I think the trade with Chicago would depend on how the draft plays out. If there is someone the Hawks really like is available when the Pittsburgh pick is on the clock, I could see this proposal becoming reality.

If he gives up the 14th overall for Gibson he might be fired before the season starts haha.
