Quoting: Caniac2000
Carolina never uses a 23 man roster. Sure, they had one with Domi, but that was after the deadline when they picked him up for a longshot prospect and a guy that was never going to come back across. They can do it comfortably.It involves a little finagling, but it is doable once Pacioretty is activated at the trade deadline. Alternatively, they could just waive Martinook and then they're free to do whatever they want, which is also an option. Plus, with guys like Gardiner and Kase on the roster, they're likely not going to have any issues with the cap because of their previous injury history.
Fair Enough up until Pacioretty returns part.
You're talking about taking your 22 man roster down to 20 or 21 to fit Pacioretty's cap even if he misses half the year.
Its my understanding that if his Cap hit is reflected from the point he plays on if you're saying TDL for a return thats still 2.75-3.5m
That also means Martinook wouldnt be enough .
Your hope to solve that problem is your team has players get injured lol
I mean that's fine as long as you factor in losing other injury prone players like both your Goalies.
Then again MTL fans were just as insane thinking for years that Price was enough putting our selves in cap hell where we had to skate a 22/23 man roster.
But that was back when we had Markov/Subban/Gorges to absorb minutes on the back end.
We kept telling ourselves the front end line up he had was good enough filled with role players and a few good pieces.
Reality is all we did was waste our Franchise players Prime years as he made it to 2 ECF and a SCF with no run support offensively..
Its just a shame to see CAR doing that in reverse going all out Offense and wasting AHO Prime years.
We always pretend in the moment they have years left and it will happen but the reality is not as long as they have a 1 dimensional GM
Adding Burns helped but for how long
Your GM makes moves like bringing in Hamilton and Edmundston then downgrades to Tony Dbag and Jake Gardiner right after.
For every good move he makes he undoes it with a few bad ones like giving away Adam Fox to protect Jake Bean hahahaha
