and if the cap only goes up by 1 or 2 million what then?

Ignore the cap doubters. The midpoint of Bettman’s prediction is 83.4 so you’re fine. I think Kapanen is too high, but within reason. But absolutely zero chance Dubas signs Hainsey again. Put Rosén in there and bring up Borgman to rotate with him and golden.

I also doubt hainsey, was just trying to show that if they want to sign a F/A #5/6 dman theyve got 1-1.5 mill bc that D is pretty inexperienced

Might also trade brown / whatever depth winger they move for a underated dman worth around the hainsey signing & not a 2nd rounder. I just didnt feel like going super indepth.

thx tho you might be right about kap haha
