Your roster is 3 shy of the 23 man roster, but you likely can squeeze in the guys on minimum contacted and make it work. I doubt we can count on Johnson being on IR since he was expected back in the 3rd of 4th round of the playoffs if we get there. I doubt that grubauer or makar sign for that much in this flat cap market. No one seems to be talking about makar being anywhere about 10m that I have seen at least. I don't think there are comparables to draw upon for grubauers contract getting that high, maybe markstrom? But I think the consensus is that was an overpay. I certainly hope you're not right at least hahaha.

Ottawa accepts

Not so sure. Compher has less pts/g than White and Dadonov and bottom 6 winger depth isn't a big concern.

Avs don’t, Compher still has some value

With how the trade is structured, we're getting Compher for free and moving up 20 spots in next year's draft.

The author is treating Compher as a cap dump when he isn't really.

Oops. I had read it wrong. Yes, it wouldn't make much sense to pass on that. Right you are!
