Kravtsov 9th overall pick for a 24th overall pick in a very bad draft class. ya thats a no from me

Its just something to move him, its not being literal about trading with FL, just saying Id like to recoup a 1st for Kravtsov.

I think that's all reasonable, although idk why FLA would be taking Kravtsov

Also I'd have to make sure that ED works for MIN

I updated the Krav trade to be a bit more vague.

Yeah I am not personally too high on Krav but this draft blows so I guess its possible

Its not ideal, I think hes got some solid talent but the way this team shapes out if I have to choose between keeping Buch or Krav, Id rather keep Buch. I think this is the only team Ive glued together where theres a possibility to keep Buch and leave a decent amount of cap open for signings.

Next year you're -8m...

I dont think so, unless maybe the bonus cushion interferes but thats highly doubtful because Fox and Kakko's bonus eligibility are done. By my math we would have about 30m in cap space to sign guys.

Zib - 8.25m
Fox - 8m
Kakko - 2.75m
Greenway - 3.25m

Thats 22.275m of the 30m. I fully expect Robertson to be the 3rd LD so thats 925k, we can find another cheap goalie for 1m and a couple depth wingers for around 2.5m combined. That will leave us with 4.5m free.
