Quoting: gmurrayt
You took on Lucic's ridiculous contract and the following year you will not be able to afford Domi. Pretty simple. You need to sign 7 more people next year with 8.5 million. Even if cap goes up a couple of million, and you buy out Lucic, you don't come close to having the cap space to sign Domi, and you make matters worse with Lucic's contract. You are making the Montreal fan base look like idiots.
Next year : (+4,37m)
Cap increase + (3m)
Mason buyout clear (1,37m)
Goalie
+0,850m)
Primeau instead of Kinkaid (+ 850k)
Defense: (+3,2m)
Mete bridge contract 2,2m / 3 years (- 1,5m)
Trade Petry (Fleury or Brooks take his spot) ( +4,7m)
Murray Weber
Chariot Fleury/Brooks
Mete Juulsen
Forward: (-6,05m)
Domi best case scenario if he had a great season 8m/8 years (-4,85m)
Lucic buyout 1st year caphit is (5,5m) so I save only 500k (-500k)
Bring a 700k player for Lucic loss (-700k)
Cap + Mason= + 4,37
Goalie. =. + 0,850
Defense. =. + 3,2
Forward. =. - 6,05
Cap space. =. + 2,37 m
I still have 2,37m to send you tickets to see my incredible hockey team with a long term vision
