Whatever you think of the player's ability comparison, it would be a really bad look to sign Suter and let Edler walk. Don't think Suter signs that. Foligno is back to Columbus I bet.

We all know what happened the last time Van signed a Sutter in UFA

Suter is a better PKer, and gives more offense. On a 3 year term he should sign that easy

Jonah Gadjovich does nothing for us (if there's one thing we have in ample supply, it's good LW prospects), and anyway you'd have to pay extra for an intra-divisional trade. Jett Woo, Kole Lind and the second is what it would take, in my mind, but we would retain 50%. That extra $2 million allows you to fill out your 23-man roster.

How much can you lose with a 1.25M cap hit for a player replacing Edler

Lind, Woo and a 2nd, and you'd retain 50%? Easy yes

"Whatever you think of the player comparison"

Proceeds to give me a player comparison

On the contract, we can agree to disagree. I'll eat rocks on July 28th if he signs something less than $2 million

Loll. Suter>Edler. No question. He might get upto 2.5 or even 3M, but no way he gets 3 years on that. Earning 3.75M in 3 years with the security of actually earning that is probably enough to take it

I'd be very careful saying the phrase "how much can you use" when your GM is Bim Jenning

Yeah I agreeeeeeeeee haha that wasn't ever the point I was trying to make

You make a very good point. Time for job application
