You admitting that they will be good is baby steps in the right direction.

We will help you arrive at Buffalo being a bubble team at best buddy, don't worry.
 
at the moment....

Boston

VanRiemsdyk --- Zacha --- Pastrnak
Marchand --- Coyle --- DeBrusk
Lucic --- Geekie --- Frederic*
Megna --- Brown --- Greer

Lindholm --- McAvoy
Grzelcyk --- Carlo
Forbort --- Shattenkirk
Zboril

Ullmark
Swayman*

- Max $2m in capspace to add another forward, that's with moderate RFA prices for Swayman and Frederic
- of course this would be enough to add both Bergy and Krejci back on similar bonus deals
- Avenues to gaining more capspace fairly painlessly would be ditching Forbort's $3m or trading one of the goalies


Tampa

Hagel --- Point --- Kucherov
Stamkos --- Cirelli --- Sheary
Jeannot --- Paul --- Eyssimont
Barre-Boulet --- Glendening --- Archibald

Hedman --- Cernak
Sergachev --- Perbix
DeHaan --- Bogosian
Myers

Vasilevskiy
Johansson

- no real money left over. a 13th forward at $1m would cap them out. They could squeeze a $2m forward if they stayed with 12.
- no easy way for them to ditch capspace.


Florida

Verhaghe --- Barkov --- Tkachuk
Lundell --- Bennett --- Reinhart
Luostarinen --- Rodrigues --- Cousins
Lomberg --- Lorentz --- Stenlund

Forsling --- Ekblad
Mikkola --- Montour
OEL --- Kulikov
Reilly

Bobrovsky
Knight

- they actually have a good $3m in capspace left to add more. could squeeze that closer to $4m if they stick with 12 forwards.
- no obvious way to ditch cap other than trying to move Bob​

man, they're fucked. the only thing that may save them is if Bergy and Krejci come back on vet minimum deals. even then...

their D does still look very good. and their goalies should be as well.

but their centre depth is fucking brutal and would likely seriously limit what they can do.

they've come out of their cap hell in okay shape I would say. still a strong top-6 F group. Sergachev has developed better than I expected. but they've lost their fourth line entirely and replaced it with shit, their bottom pair D is shit, and they don't have any D who can handle top-line matchups.

probably the strongest group on paper of the three but I'm still not convinced by their D or goalies.
 
Bruins are probably fucked if Bergeron doesn’t come back. Though Pasternak Marchand and the D could still be better than Ottawa/Buffalo.
Bruins down the middle is just terrible if no Bergeron. Even if he comes back, still not good enough.
Another Bruins issue is their deadline acquisitions were fantastic for them and are now gone.
 
Buffalo

Skinner --- Thompson --- Tuch
Olofsson --- Cozens --- Okposo
Peterka -- Mittelstadt --- Quinn
Greenway --- Krebs --- Girgensons
Jost

Dahlin --- Clifton
Power --- Johnson
Samuelsson --- Lyubushkin
Jokiharju

Comrie
Levi

- acres of capspace left. At least $9m,
- they could easily get more by dumping a bunch of bottom roster guys that are getting more than league min.
- this roster already has them burying a couple youngish dmen with fairly big salaries that they might lose on waivers in Bryson and Stillman
- I would say they would dump some of their overpaid depth forwards but they just re-signed them all
- i don't really know what they're doing. I have to think they're going to try and make some trades soon.


Ottawa

Tkachuk --- Stutzle --- Giroux
Kubalik --- Norris --- Batherson
Joseph --- Pinto* --- Greig
Kelly --- Kastelic --- MacEwen

Chabot --- Chychrun
Sanderson --- Zub
Brannstrom --- Hamonic
Bernard-Docker

Korpisalo
Forsberg

- Decent chunk of change left to add another forward. in the $2-3m range.
- no obvious ways of ditching salary other than trading a goalie



Detroit

Debrincat --- Larkin --- Perron
Fabbri --- Compher --- Raymond
Sprong --- Copp --- Fischer
Kostin --- Veleno --- Rasmussen
Berggren

Chiarot --- Seider
Wallman --- Holl
Maatta --- Gostisbehere
Lindstrom

Husso
Reimer

- plenty of capspace. at least $7m to upgrade one of those slots.
- lots of dumpable contracts but not sure how easily

 
and I guess i have to....

Pretty sure they have no capspace and no dumpable contracts

They actually have plenty of capspace when Price is on LTIR. nearly $10m depending on who they send down.

As for dumpable...i didn't say tradeable....just lots of salary they could ditch without hurting the team much. Haven't looked closely enough to see how many of those are tradeable yet (would be moatly the ones in the final year of their contract probably).

Arent the Sens in on Tarasenko? How are they doing that with 2-3M left?
