Season Ending State of the Union / Expansion Draft Thread

[Habsy]

You cant overpay too many to retain bottom 6 and 5-6 D

A few are fine but Dano, Lek, Armia , JE, Byron etc....all cant be paid to stay

If Dano $ gets out of whack he walks

Hearing you tell it you can't pay any bottom six guys.

 

[Habsy]

The only zone that matters when it comes to dishing out big money is the offensive zone. Your big earners are your scorers, your top pair defensemen and your goalie. Everybody else is a role player who gets paid role player money.

So wrong and really unrealistic.

This is interesting, who will they expose? Kulak?

According to regulations, teams must expose at least one defenseman under contract for next year who played at least 27 games last year or a sum of at least 54 matches the last two seasons.

Sure you can , just not too many

A player like Gourde is fine on TB at 5 mil when you have elite studs leading the way

You cant retain Goodrow or Coleman with TJ making 5 as well

Same with us , you cant have too many 3+ mil players in secondary roles on a bubble team

Kulak or Chariot

Would hate to lose him , spent a ton of time developing him and has made huge improvements in his game

You said they’re taking Cale Fleury . . . I doubt it.

Danault is 28 years old. There's no more "potential" left in him. What you see is as much as you're ever going to get. He's at his peak right now.

As in he's proven he can potentially get 50 points again, in the right circumstances.

And Evans. I think people noticed.

I like Jake but I doubt he will be the target -- he's already 25 and his upside seems limited.

If we lose him, I think Poehling will fill his shoes pretty easily.

No, they'll expose Weber. Doubt Seattle takes that contract, and if they do great for us, we solved our cap issues.

No chance in hell they expose Weber. None.
