How much less? should've said I couldn't care less! Just playing! Breaking up the heated debate a bit! Carry on!

Vote for Martinez

I wouldnt re-sign Staal. The only point of bringing him in in the first place was the pick attached and the hope of flipping him again later. Without any compensation, I wouldn't bring him back unless Suter and Martinez sign elsewhere. I wouldn't consider Hronek a vet yet. DeKeyser is really the only vet D on the roster, and he'll only be here one more season anyway and will need to be replaced anyway. Same with Stecher. May be taken in the expansion draft, but only has one more year left on his deal even if he stays. Seider, Hronek, and Cholowski for sure on the roster this coming season. DeKeyser most likely there for one more season. That's only 4 spots. Even if Stecher doesn't go to Seattle and Lindstrom also makes the roster, you still have one more spot to fill. I would sign one more vet, who would be a good fit with Seider, to a 2 year deal. Suter/Martinez - Seider DeKeyser - Hronek Cholowski - Stecher Lindstrom DeKeyser and/or Stecher gone the following season to make room for more young D. No. Kaprizov is Elisa Lam level delusional.

Habs are totally going to miss the playoffs in 21-22. Perfect team to exploit for a 22 first rounder. Ottawa style.

good idea

1. Agreed, but unless Cholowski suddenly develops NHL abilities, he would be a worse choice there. 2. Heck, no.

Yzerman could sign Hamilton, Hyman, and Grubauer + extend Bertuzzi and Vrana at 5.5 per and still have 20M left to spend on 7 - 8 plugs. That's how much space he has. It'll be 6 years before Raymond or Seider will be making the big pay. Larkin ain't getting a raise and it remains to be seen if guys like Htonek or Zadina will ever be more than 5M/per players. He shouldn't. and won't. But signing Hyman would be to Detroit's cap what one beer was to Andre the Giant. I'm trying to put Yzerman's nearly 50M in cap space into contect here.

If we're going for a stinky old LHed vet to play with Seider then sign me up for the guy who played like a beast this post season on a broken foot (assuming the foot doesn't eff him up this season).

Thank God.

Seems like a guy like Hyman comes along every now and then and a bunch of teams tie bags of money to their boners. He's basically this year's David Clarkson or even Abdlekader.

Yup.

No fresh facts here or anything, but to see it in writing is really staggering: Wing's have 49M in cap space. Next closest is Buffalo with 34M. They have 12 picks in 2021 draft. 5 in the first 2 rounds. How in actual fuc can Yzerman not do something amazing over the next 2-3 weeks?
