I guess the premise is that Holl would cost less to buyout.

The Athletic proposing a Trouba for Holl trade 1 for 1 with NYR retaining salary? https://www.nyrangersinsider.com/nhl-team/new-york-rangers/potential-trade-on-the-table-for-jacob-trouba-to-eastern-conference-rival Trouba is only 30. Needs out if the spotlight. Could be a big help on D. We'd have to definitely dump some other salary somewhere!

Ok, it's time for Yzerman to get into the game.

Ya, but a lot of mock signings by some good insiders (TSN Guys) had him about $1M give or take.

New list out. Iginla at 3? Eiserman at 5? https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/craig-s-list-tij-iginla-cole-eiserman-rise-in-final-ranking-1.2136740

Dang I like Kevin Bahl. He'll be great in Calgary. Btw: $775k. Yzerman getting discounts already! Also...

Eiserman. The D will come.

Ok, so here's where I am. I am currently roughly $680k over the cap, with only 22 players. I might have to forego one of Perron or Kane. Unless Kane would do a nice deal again for some term. (note: I traded Husso to Calgary because I am going with them dealing Markstrom away.) Also, I traded Copp back to Winnipeg where he had a lot of success, and could become a leader for them. In the Sharangovich deal, the original one I saw had Veleno going back, but I already traded him, so maybe a nice top prospect would enough to let Yegor go. Here's the signings. Could possibly skip Perron and bring up 2 kids in his place to fill out the roster, or even let Kane walk because with Guentzel, Jeannot and Sharangovich, we may not need his offense. Unless he'd take 3x$3.5M to help us out! Leftover draft picks, including the #12 overall. ...and finally, the roster how it sits. Feel free to pick it apart to see how we could get under the cap and have 23 players with room for injury call ups.

I'm currently working in Capfriendly with all these trades to see what is left over in cap. I don't see the need to have Gustavsson and Husso on the team, so I will probably just buy him out or dump him for a 4th or 5th to get more cap space. And I still might try to do the Calgary trade for Sharangovich. I just have to find the article about that proposed deal, I know it involved Maatta.

Saw these draft day trade options in an article and I'd have to say, I'd do all of them. Obviously you couldn't trade the 15th twice, but Philly would probably still do this deal with the 18th Detroit got from Chicago. Detroit ends up with Gustavsson, Rossi, Guentzel, Jeanotte, AND the 12th overall pick. (Along with various later picks.) Might could even still afford Kane, Perron and Roy.

Trade Maatta, Veleno, 25 2nd for Sharangovich. (-$1M in cap) Trade Fabbri for a pick (+$4M in cap) Trade Holl and a pick for a pick (+$3.4M) Trade Husso for a pick (+$4.75M) Roughly $38M in cap space: Sign Seider and Raymond for a combined $16M. Sign Kane 3x$5M Sign Perron 2x$2M $15M in cap left Sign Matt Roy ($5M?) Trade a pick for Filip Gustavsson (-$3.75M) All other UFA's walk. Sorry Ghost, we just can't afford you. That leaves $6.75M roughly to dedicate towards Berggren, Edvinsson, Johansson, Mazur, Kasper all being on the roster to fill your team. Dammit I'm gonna miss capfriendly! I hope the alternatives that come out will be better eventually! Oh! I forgot re-signing Fischer to a 2 year modest contract too!

We're losing Capfriendly. Seems Washington wants to have the only access to all the resources the website provides. So they get to be the only team/people that can look at every other teams cap situation and contract status? How fair is that? https://www.davyjoneslockerroom.com/the-caps-bought-capfriendly-so-now-what/

Well, he's trading for Necas so he had to get him a countryman to play with before the trade.

Filppula was drafted by Detroit

Ya, Bouchard, the guy that was rumored to supposed to be drafted by Red Wings. instead we got Zadina.

Rooting for Panthers because I hate Ken Holland.

Trade up if Eiserman falls to 10. To NJD : 15th overall, Berggren, '25 4th To DET : 10th overall, Bahl

Holland would've drafted Cholowski even if he didn't trade down.

Well I had them in my hands! But not worth losing my job of 30 years!

Our future goalie headed home from.GRR to YEG (Edmonton)

Who does it block? If you get rid of 2 D contracts that leaves plenty of room. Edvinsson and Johansson will be here next season, they aren't being blocked in you sign Ghost for 3 years. Once Maatta falls off the books in a year and Chiarot in 2, there's room for ASP and another. They may not even re-sign Walman when his contract is up. Kane 3x5 makes sense for player development. Healthy he's still a PPG player. Even if he falls off in year 3 to .5 PPG he's still super valuable to the young players. $5M AAV isn't bad either.
