Quoting: blmanche
Probably remove either Zach Jones, or Kravstov or 2nd.
Again basing it off return for Yandle. Chychrun signed 1 year longer,
Not sure exactly how much all those guys are worth but let's just say the second is removed.
They could do three things with their cap space + retention slot:
1) take unwanted contracts with payment and if they find their game flip them as rentals (retention is going to be needed)
2) sign ufas who are struggling or looking to prove themselves to 1-year deals, to attract them to Arizona they will have to overpay them, then they can potentially flip them at the deadline.
3) facilitate trades for payment
They could yield anything from a 5th to 1sts in each of those years, so a 2nd definitely won't cut it especially with them having to pay those real dollars.
Chychrun already has value and a ton at that, so it's not really worth it for them to retain on him if the package isn't getting significantly increased. The contracts that they often take are usually front-loaded vs Chychrun's backloaded contract, so they aren't paying as much in real dollars compared to the cap-hit. This allows them to reach the cap-floor while also keeping a lower player salary.
