Once Fantilli signs for rumored $14-$15M, CBJ will need to make a move to jettison $$ - same Ana once Cutter is inked to rumored $15M-$16M
Significant cap hits (> $6M) will need to be moved for both teams - I’m not convinced CBJs internal budget will operate to cap ceiling.
I’m expecting a slew of trades in 2-3 weeks as training camp approaches

14-15 MIL should get your GM fired

At least one D is likely to be moved before the season starts.

With the risk that Philly will come in at 16.
Go for it Briere , what is he waiting for
Just because a few fools are doing it doesnt mean every regime has to follow the dumb leader

Except CLB taking the picks is a huge risk with no guarantee they’ll select a player near Fantili’s talent. That’s why ANA bit the bullet, no?

Some folks need to learn that percent of cap is the real number and that the cap is going way up.

Sid’s $8.7M deal was 16% of cap at time of signing.
With cap likely to end up close to $160M within 5yrs (w 4 expansion teams expected in 2 phases - Houston, Atlanta followed by Austin & Phoenix / Scottsdale) that would be approx $25M AAV….
