<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>It's a workable solution that leaves ~$350k of capspace with a 20 man roster, assuming Pinto takes $2.5m.

If Pinto is flexible and takes slightly less, like $2.1m, you could probably squeeze a 21 man roster too.

Obviously a 20-21 man roster isn't ideal, but that's the unfortunate reality for Ottawa.

When you look at the other up and coming teams in the east , NJ 23 man roster 1.75 cap space ; Detroit 23 man roster 4.47 cap space ; Buffalo 23 man 8.826 cap they have done a much better job IMO. Don’t get me wrong I like Ottawa’s team but they have no wiggle room to bring players up. It can’t send a good message to the guys in Belleville.

Sujet: Next year cup contendies
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>M96N29</b></div><div>In theory, I can see why COL considers this, but it only interests them if Ryjo has a bad season, at which point BUF definitely doesn't do the trade.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Yeah I can see that as an 'IF', don't get me wrong. The question is how much of that cap space gets used up on signing the trio they've acquired when the Avs would likely want to move these two guys (next year and the following year, or simply not re-signing RyJo) to make cap space for signing MR, BB, AG &amp; LOC. Also would be a little odd for Buffalo to consider this (and even more odd if RyJo has a bad season). Even if they've made it to the play offs this season if we're talking hypothetically, does that move push them into contenders?</div></div>

Why would COL not want young cost-controlled guys for long-term, even if RyJo has a mediocre-good season? Even if Avs win the cup this year, doesn't change that this clears 8.5 shmilli. They could re-sign all 3 for the same cost as Manson. Buff would be interested because 1) Manson won a Stanley cup with E. Johnson so they can provide vet leadership during a run, 2) If RyJo has a bad season it'll be because he isn't meant for the top 6 anymore and is having poor matchups - he would bring vet stability on the 4th pair in Buff and he wins face-offs - which nobody else on Buff can. Would help tremendously to gain possession and preserve the lead late in a game - Buff is notorious for giving up leads.
