I'm as critical of "recency bias" as the next guy, but how are you putting Steeves ahead of Kampf AND not resigning Kase? Pay someone to take Ritchie if you have to. Kase is the type of player this team model (5 guys making over 50% of the cap) needs. Sub $3 million, versatile winger. Remember that Kase is a RFA after this year so its not like we have to outbid anyone to keep him
Didn't really think of Kase to be honest, but good point. I think the bottom 6 there are pretty inter-changable, and was less worried about the actual lines than keeping it under the cap, while also keeping Campbell. More for discussion than anything else, tbh.
I also just don't see the point of giving up a pick or prospect to get rid of Ritchie. Prospects are for peasants, not contending teams, but I also think you need to have a reasonably constant stream of ELC's that can come into the lineup over the next 2-3 years. Ritchie's $3.3 mil salary next year isn't easy to move (IMO).
Going to adjust by burying Ritchie and re-signing Kase to see where I can get to. If you're saving the $1.25 mil on Ritchie by burying him, it should still be under the cap with Kase re-signed.
Edit: Gets me to -$19K with 22 man roster (Assuming Kase accepts the QO). *Should* be able to make up that $19 K by shuttling Robertson/Olivier (or which ELC trade you make for Kerfoot) back and forth on non-game days, or by going with an $850 K backup.
