Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Hextall has screwed us… it’s that simple. We are now stuck with a declining Granlund making 5 mil for 2 more years. After these moves we are left with ~5 mil for FA.

My reasoning behind the signings:
Zucker: I think he’s gonna get 4+ years around 4 mil range. I gave him taking a slight discount to stay (players are overpaid nowadays we aren’t getting cheaper)
Poehling: Hextall raves over the kid being our future 4C, I can see him wanting to lock him up for multiple years at a little overpay
Ty Smith: I look at a POJ contract this off-season and think he gets almost the exact same deal
Jarry: He’s gonna want a longer term deal but his health issues will cause teams to hesitate. I think he either signs for 3 or 5. I prefer 3 giving Lindberg time to develop and take over.
Heinen: He’s flashed when he’s started, and will now turn into an every night player, he uses this to his advantage and gets a slight raise.

With this cap space we can either sign depth, or I’m sure Boesers name will pop back up and get him retained. But who knows with Hextall anymore
