-Colin Miller on LTIR as he is selected in expansion draft (didn't know how to show this)
-Reinhart signed for big $$$ as 2C (he deserves it, and it's easier to find wingers to play alongside him/Eichel as opposed to a 2C nowadays)
-Skinner returns to wing with Eichel in hopes of production like first year
-Dahlin signs long term
-KO starts year on IR, unless healthy from facial surgery. Frankly, he will be in Rochester until he can be bought out in 2022
-Eakin signing clearly a mistake (sorry GMKA), traded with a pick for cap relief
***Most importantly, Don Granato has interim tag removed and becomes the permanent HC***
Poor contract decisions imo but absolutely we should be keeping Don Granato as Head Coach. He has been great and love his philosophy. The players are clearly enjoying playing under him and we are getting infinitely better results than we did with Ralph Kruger
What contracts specifically are you not a fan of? I'm just curious to see if any tweaking could be done
I hear you on that. To me it just sounds like they are keeping Reinhart at center so he is the de-facto 2C and I think Cozens gets more from playing top line minutes with Eichel than playing 3c. I think he has the ability to shift to C at any point in the season, so if they shift Reinhart back or Injuries he can slide back to C.
Only problem with pulling up Pekar IMO is that this team is incredibly young. I think besides Skinner everyone would be younger than 28 on the team. So finding a defensive 4C that can provide a bit of leadership wouldnt be the worst thing. Keep it low cap hit low term and its really low risk. If that person flops than have Pekar be your first call up.
I can be on board with this. Any particular 4C you think would be a good fit? Our FA record has not been solid these last few years, so I think that's where I'm hesitant

Big overpayment on Reinhart, the most we should give him for a long term deal is 7. Gusev has been terrible so definitely wouldn't give him 2 years. Not sure why Miller is on LTIR, but you have at least 4 mil currently that you could use to sign a much better RW than Gusev

That is what Reinhart is predicted at, for both W and C, gusev is low risk low reward, was good before NJ, miller I stated was on LTIR cause he would be taken by Seattle (didnt know how to show it)
