How do we get The Firkus Circus if we are keeping Slafcooley?
Not sure what you mean.
Firkus at #37
Sykora at #69
They may both go earlier than that in the draft but I don't think it'd be unreasonable if they were selected around that range.
If it's having space for them on the roster you're worried about, preferably I'd want Slafkooley's ELC to slide into 24-25.
Firkus and Sykora can remain on their ELCs all the way until 27-28.
I'd imagine McLeod, Bastian, Thompson, Boqvist and Marchment all get traded or walks between end of 23-24 and start of 26-27.
If it's the cap, I projected this out all the way through 27-28.
At a conservative estimation of an upper limit at 92.5m, Firkus, Sykora and Slafkooley are all present on a 23 man roster.
Provided the Devils manage to move the last year of Hamilton's contract.
