<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>If you can get somebody to play with Mcdavid for 3.5 Million for 2 Years you've got at least 1.5 million more to give Nurse and 2 million more to give Puljujarvi on their next contracts. If you sign a guy for 5 milllion you've got 2 million to sign both its going to be that tight and then the following year they have 4 million more that comes off dead cap.</div></div>

You also have to consider the fact that Nurse could very well win a Norris between this year and next. Bear also needs a raise of likely $1-3mill. Pulju a raise of $2-4mill. Also consider the possibility that we might need to spend on a 1B if Merzlikins doesn't work out. Better safe than sorry imo but I see what you reasoning is, maybe it could work out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Kahun is an RFA.</div></div>

Say Seattle selects his Kahun, giving them his RFA rights. If he doesn't want to sign with them or accept a qualifying offer, it turns into a big ordeal. He can just return to play in Germany if he holds out till January 1st. His RFA rights aren't worth anything because his market value is likely under $1.41mill, the minimum required for compensation. If Kahun doesn't want to play with Seattle, they receive 0 value from Edmonton. It's a gamble, but maybe they like that better than taking Turris, Neal, Russell or Kassian if we protect Archibald over Kahun. They likely just ask Kahun if he wants to sign with them and he says no so he can test free agency on his own. I chose to protect Kahun anyways just in case

I agree that the 2021-22 offseason/2022-23 season will be extremely difficult cap-wise. I don't see the solution being locking a guy up to a multi year deal to play with McD. A 1 year deal allows for more flexibility. If Nurse, Bear and Pulju start tearing it up, and earn big raises, we'll regret that multi year deal when we can't afford our own guys. The name of the game is 1 year deals right now, especially with so many key players needing extensions. I signed Danault/whoever our 3C will be to a 2Y deal because it leaves more than enough cap space for next season and fills a crucial role

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BornInAGretzkyJersey</b></div><div>CBJ just traded a goalie prospect, and I believe Elvis is expansion draft exempt. Don't see that trade happening.

And hard pass on Glendenning. His sole skill is winning faceoffs, and granted he's exceptional at doing so, but brings little else to the table. Haas skates better, has a possible upside in skill, is also right handed, and cheaper.</div></div>

Merzlikins is high on many trade bait boards. Will CBJ run a Korpisalo - Merzlikins duo? I doubt it. That would cost big time money and is a waste of value. Trade one. Merzlikins sounds like the guy. He's a UFA next summer and he likely leaves Columbus like everyone else

I like Haas. I like Patrick Russell. I like Nygard. These are all guys we currently have that aren't relied on for production, clearly. Why is one or multiple in the lineup each night? I suppose Haas and Nygard are fast. Patrick Russell works hard, as Tippett puts it. That really means nothing though. Glendening produces more than all of these guys (with Detroit might I add) and is 67% at faceoffs. 67% is the best in the league. Imagine gaining possession on 2 thirds of penalty kills as opposed to our current % which is likely below 50 (Drai being drastically overworked on draws might inflate the stat, which comes with its own price). Our current bottom 6 centerman, Haas and Kharia are well below 50%. Very costly. Glendening produces more offense then Haas and adds a useful tool that none of our bottom 6 guys bring. Our current bottom 6 centers really don't offer anything. I like Kharia on the wing

Kharia - Glendening - XX on the 4th line next year and then bring in an actual 3C would be perfect

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McOilers97</b></div><div>If they can't pawn Neal off on someone, I think the play is buy-out him out in summer 2022. Let him play next season, and then buy-out afterwards, don't want 4 years of dead cap from a buy-out. Cap hit would be $1.95m for 22-23 and 23-24, so savings of almost $4m in 22-23.

I think Puljujarvi will be getting much more than $2m AAV on his next deal as well.</div></div>

$2mill in dead cap till 2025 would be a nightmare agreed. A 2022-23 Neal buyout makes some sense if we can't dump him by then. Maybe we'd even consider retaining half and dumping him that year to avoid a penalty in 23-24

Yea I also think Pulju will get more than $2mill on his next deal I was being very conservative to give this plan the benefit of the doubt
