Youre forgetting the whole Batherson and Formenton being in Prison by playoff time

Not sure which is worse, trading that much for Klingberg, or giving him a 7 year deal.

If you are buying, you are trying to go deep in the playoffs, so I'm going to go with the 7 year deal is worse. Also think that wrecks the team's cap next season.

But we gladly accept

Yeah losing the space to sign Zub and Pinto so you can get Klingberg at 7mil for age 31-38 would be a choice

Hell, I think we'd take it even if they dropped Branstrom and the third. Or the 2nd and the third and it was just Branstrom and a 1st.

Neither one is going to jail.... Neither one are going to miss even a single game from this. So until proven guilty which they won't be based on the facts that have been leaked.... Both players will be in the lineup.

They will have $14 760 953 in their cap space next season.


DeBrincat: 8 000 000 (new contract) - 6 400 000 = - 1 600 000$

Klingberg: 7 000 000 (new contract) - 3 500 000 = - 3 500 000$

Zub: 4 750 000 (new contract) - 2 500 000 = - 2 250 000$

Waston: 1 000 000 (new contract) - 1 500 000 = + 500 000$

Pinto: 1 250 000 (new contract) - 925 000 = - 325 000$

Holden: Maybe gone, Bernard-Docker or a free agent will take his place. = + 1 300 000$

Talbot: Maybe gone, a free agent (like Jarry) or a trade (like Gibson) will take his place = + 3 666 667$



1 600 000 + 3 500 000 + 2 250 000 + 325 000 = 7 700 000$

500 000 + 1 300 000 + 3 666 667 = 5 466 667$


14 760 953 - 7 700 000 + 5 466 667 = 12 527 620$



The Sens will likely have 12 527 620$ in their cap space at the free agency, but they will likely need a top goalie and a 5th-6th solid defenseman in their line-up.
