Final Signing

The salaries are the same as just signing Nylander
Trouba a bit less than Nylander
about .750 extra for Faulk
Leaves us with 12.2 in Cap Space
Next year Hainsey comes off, hopefully replace him with 1m younger player +2m
Cap Increase next year +3
That leaves 17.2M

10 more for Auston he gets same as Tavares at 11
7 More for Marner, maybe 6 more to give him 7-8

We'll have to fig out a plan for Johnsson and Kappy
Maybe Marleau to wherever he wants to go (SJ)

Why are we drafting all of these D-men only to Have them sit in the minors? Also marleau isn’t going anywhere. I know there are a lot of people down on gardiner for his playoff blunder but don’t be hasty. I did an agm where we kept everyone under the cap. Fairly realistic. Think we have a lot of good young D ready to step up.

Also just wanted to mention that I think nylander signs for 6 million. That second line is too week without nylander. Our roster right now is a matchup nightmare. Devlop sandin for 2-3 years, Develop liligren for another year same with holl have them both come up a few times. I actually think holl may have a chance to crack the lineup this year, just needs to get his skating up to par.

Because I don't think our D is good enough to win the cup
Too get 100 points, yes
Too finish in the top 3-8 teams yes
To win 2 rounds yes
We're close...
But not close enough

Getting rid of gardiner an nylander sets us back. Think you missed the rest of my post lol. Trading off our future. Dermott and liljgren are going to get there money at some point and if sandin pans out I guess we trade Tavares and Mathews? We have a solid young group on on D. Don’t think we need to hit the panic button and void our draft picks over the last 2 years. Dubas has a plan luckily this isn’t it. I do like the idea of trouba but we are trying to build a team. And again marleau is not waving his nmc. Think he wants a cup.
