With that 4M in cap space….just keep debrusk.

Your trades aren't farfetched although Arizona probably wants more for Chychrun.
On the other end, Bergeron and Krejci signing for 3mil each is ridiculous... Not happening.

They're both eligible for 35+ contracts, which means they could sign for a smaller cap hit with incentive money in performance bonuses that wouldn't count against the cap until next season. So, it isn't ridiculous.

What is a Performance Bonus?
A Performance Bonus can be given to a player in addition to their salary. Performance bonuses are only paid to the player if they meet the requirements as defined by the bonus. Performance bonuses count against the salary cap; however, a team can exceed the salary cap due to performance bonuses by the maximum performance bonus cushion amount of 7.5 percent of the upper limit. Not all players are eligible for Performance Bonuses, and to receive a bonus within their contract, a player must meet one of the following criteria:
1.The player is on an entry-level contract.
2.The player has signed a one-year contract and is over 35 years old.
3.The player has signed a one-year contract after returning from a long-term injury (has played 400 or more games, and spent 100 or more days on the Injured Reserve in the last year of their most recent contract).


Bergeron signing for 2 years wouldn't be eligible as per point #2.
Contract has to be 1 year for it to be eligible.

I mean if the cap hits are too low for you then pretend they are ~$5M as they have $4.6M in cap space with this predicted roster and therefore could give both of them an extra $2M without batting an eye.

I'm glad you're capable of answering your own questions. I'd be shocked if Bergeron signed more than one year.

Yeah, they definitely want more the but sad thing is that would be a decent return for him as he wasn't playing that well this past season. You get a top 4 replacement a first and some bottom-six players. You're also right probably not 3mil, I bet they'd both sign for 4 something and it would be very similar so Krecji doesn't get mad or something.

I'm not dishing him out to just do it, it's if he still wants to be traded.

To me not really I could see two years max.

Maybe Ignore the Chychrun trade I made and I think this is very possible going into next season, I see the Mike Reilly trade as almost 100%. I also tweaked the salaries based on valid feedback.

Who cares if he wants to be traded?

They could have bonuses.
