Fantilli still on the ELC

Liane, Fantilli, Jenner, and Jiricek all due renewals the next year and only 7.8 million on cap space seems dangerous.

I feel like you are selling short on a lot of the contracts.

No shot Johnson takes that deal at the pace he’s at he most likely get a 5 mill minimum bridge deal. I bet they might even try a long term deal at like 7.5x7 in hopes that they will have a steal of a contract for the future

Doubt Provorov is resigned I feel like he’s a bridge dman for mateychuk and Svozil.

But again contracts aren’t close to what those young guys will get. Morgan Geekie just got 2mill as a player who played 4th line for Seattle and has middle 6 potential.
All the RFA’s you signed expect mckown have top 6 and higher potential so I’d assume all them get 3.5-6 mill bridge deals with how much cap goes up and how young guys are getting paid right now.

No reason to sign Provorov, Francouz, or Robinson. That cap's too valuable when it comes to sign Fantilli and Jiricek.

In fact, Robinson isn’t even a lock to be in Columbus at the start of the season. He has to earn his spot. Provorov is just a placeholder till Svozil and Mateychuk are ready.

it is, but you also get whatever the cap increase is, plus 7 mil from Gudbranson and Peeke
