Cap's getting tight now! I think the Hall number is good, but maybe not the term. I could see him wanting 8, and the Devils wanting 6, so they settle at 7.

Very interesting to see how this team would develop together, maybe Palmieri becomes a cap casualty if Boqvist can become a Top-6 player – unless Palmieri is Captain by then!

The cap got really tight, really quick. I would prefer 7 for Hall instead of 8, hope it swings that way. I hope people who see this understand that the cap space won't be there past the summer of 2020 because of Hall, Hischier, Bratt, Blackwood all having new deals kick in, plus the additions going to be made this offseason.

I think you did a great job in Year 1 saving cap for those guys, that's something most people aren't doing on here.

The cap might be tight in 2021, but don't forget Zajac's contract is over at the end of the year, you can let Palmieri go too if some of the prospects step up. Plus you can buyout or try to trade Schneider if Blackwood pans out.

The Devils are still in a good spot with their cap situation.

No need for Strålman in my eyes. Reilly Walsh in the pipeline should help round out the RD spot. Otherwise, you get a cheaper 3rd pairing guy, because that cap is way too tight (especially assuming that the cap goes up that much year over year).
Also, if Bratt keeps progressing, I could see him wanting a bigger paycheck than that.
Hall HOPEFULLY comes with a slight hometown discount, bringing him under $10M with the addition of a NTC/NMC as an incentive (his injury history limits games played each year, which is why his true value is in the same range as the Seguin contract @ 9.85M
This 20 man roster is a bit snug, and guys like McLeod, Bastian, Walsh, and Zetterlund will hopefully help in place of Donskoi and Strålman, providing some wiggle room and extra manpower.
I do love a lot about this team, and the main thing is Kapanen. I think he'll cost more than an offer sheet, but I believe he'd be very much worth it
