What they did with Ottawa was just a little bit of fiddling around with their cap, but the real cap problems will return next summer, then there will be the same problems again. Theyll be fine , theyll just trade a 1st/2nd for seattle to take hometown kid tyler johnson unless he really stinks it up this season . Keep one of goodrow/coleman and get some cheap ufa’s at great deals like your seeing now league needs to stop ignoring this bs going on . All the teams that were in cap hell suddenly had “injuries” save them . Guess it was just luck it was those teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The good news is we are only missing 11 players off a cup contending team! < Pessimistic outlook vs Optimistic outlook > Raymond - Larkin - Zadina Bertuzzi - Veleno - Mantha Soderblom - Niederbach - Berggren Smith - Rasmussen - Svechnikov Namestnikov / Fabbri Wallinder - Seider Johansson - Hronek Cholowski - McIsaac Stecher Petruzzelli / Larsson / Bednar My lineup is obviously more optimistic, but also in my opinion, more realistic. Of course some won't meet their potential, but some will exceed their potential. This is only including players in the system now. Some will be removed (trade / free agency), and others will be added (draft / trade / free agency). We should have one, maybe two more top 10 picks in the next two drafts. Imagine this team with Owen Power and Shane Wright added in the next two drafts... Very unlikely, but that would not only be a Cup contender, but a Cup favorite in a few years...

I would switch Niederbach and Veleno and Zadina and Mantha. Everything I´ve read or seen so far about Niederbach raises questions why no one picked him earlier. Sure there was his injury, but the talent level is so high, we might get away with two top ten players of this draft class. Cholowski won´t be on the team long enough and McIsaac is a big question mark with his injury history, but there is still Viro and Tuomisto. With the next draft adding 10+ players we should have enough talent to play with.

With the next draft adding 10+ players we should have enough talent to play with. As everyone here is well aware, I'm very high on Veleno. I still have him above Niederbach, but like I said in the other thread, Niederbach could be the steal of the 2020 draft. I'm really high on him as well. As for Mantha and Zadina, I think Mantha could still be better than Zadina in a few years, but it will be close, and you also need to balance your lines. The jury is still out on Cholowski. I could see it going either way with him. I agree on McIsaac, but if he can overcome the injuries, he could be a really good bottom pair defenseman. I like Viro and Tuomisto, but haven't seen enough of either one of them to have much of an opinion. We definitely have a ton of depth throughout the lineup, but still need an elite game breaker or two, even if Seider and Raymond reach that level. 1 ely s reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once there's a 'winner' in each of the 4 divisions - the team with the best reg season record plays the worst, and as expect #2 vs #3. It'll be an interesting format - to be honest I'm looking forward to it. 1 Akakabuto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
