Now thats a solid bottom 6. I dont like when people put an all trash bottom 6 who cant put up points. You need to be able to roll 4 lines. Laughton and Hartman are playing where they belong on a cup team. I also, dont like when teams put Kassian, Frolik and grinders in the top 6

If I'm Ottawa and taking on MacDonald's contract, I'm asking for more than a 6th in return for a 7th.

I think Gardiner is going to bet something in the 6-6.5 range minimum this summer but I really like the Skinner addition

Luckily for us we have the cap space thanks to Hexy.

Its been adjusted!

What would the ask be? 4th? just to reach the cap floor and asking for a 7th it can't be a real meaningful pick, just another lottery ticket for you guys basically. I'll adjust based on that.

Honestly, these are all lines you can roll and not worry about being at a disadvantage. Id put that 4th line against any 4th line in the league, especially if they start to gel ala the Islanders 4th line. Those 3 lines however, would just keep coming and coming and coming.

In this scenario, we still wouldn't really break the bank for anyone, G is still our highest paid player, and our cap situation without even taking into account the raises each year, we would still have the space to sign Patty, Lindblom, and Myers next year, as well as Hart the year after.
