Think aside from ARI and WSH everyone declines.

That’s fair. I see New Jersey and sub ban as a way to make a cap contract deal. Honestly have no idea how he’s played but I think I can confidently guess it’s not like a 9m dollar dman

Arizona decline tho

Yamamoto has only been superb for ~30 games

1st in a sketchy draft

I think this AGM shows a lot of tact and attention to detail, seems a bunch of values are askew in ways but not by much and the issues therein more subjective

One issue is for all the cap space NJ have this year they have way less next with all the RFA contracts

Anyhow good to see please post more often 👍

I do agree for the most part, but I see Arizona as so asset starved due to mismanagement, that they may be desperate to shed dollars and just recoup assets… again lol

Also thanks for the feedback. To the New Jersey point too they could see bear as a better future asset past subban next year and just buy out Neal. I do believe hischer is already signed so it would just be Hughes and smith who shouldn’t cripple their cap

I personally see Len Holland’s best course of action is to use our cap space and take flyers on guys with one year left. If they play good and help us succeed awesome, if they’re so so then the money is off the books next year to resign nurse/ jp

EDM declines the AZ deal:

Comp

There's not enough upside on Garland (relative to Yamamoto) to add that pick. Yamamoto is 3 years younger and will be less than half the AAV next year.

Imo they do accept. They're lacking a first and Yamamoto has potential to become a new Garland for ARI essentially.
