The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

yeah Lafferty would save us 350k, which would get Sammy up to 2.5ish, which might be enough.

actually I think Lafferty is 100% buryable so they don't even need to trade him. what's the rule? league minimum + 375k or something?

 

[Preston]

He's be a great 3rd liner for the Marlies

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Wait, how are we fitting in Karlsson? : (

I love that guy. Getting to watch him do his thing with these forwards would’ve been epic.

 

[zeke]

actually that's kind of funny - I think Lafferty's contract was actually caculated so that it would be perfectly buryable. Unless i'm wrong 1150000 is the exact max buryuable amount.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Or middle sixer in Pittsburgh.

 

[zeke]

yeah that's kind of perfect - bury Lafferty, and we can carry 13 forwards while leaving $2,643,550 available for Sammy, which may just barely be enough.

or actually, carry only 12 forwards, but not including Lafferty, and then we have $3.4+ to give to Sammy.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Looks like our cap is with Holmberg included currently, so if they want to work in Robertson, assuming he can play, then Laff is the likely casualty.

 

[zeke]

and then I dare Keefe to try and build a heavy-D-zone start checking line around Kampf lol.

 

[Preston]

This roster can't possibly include Lafferty Kampf and Reaves as regulars. Skill fetishist Tre wouldn't allow for that. Laff is for sure gone.

As long as he’s available to begin OT, that’s all I care about.

Feels like the signings are done, and maybe a trade comes next. The blue line just looks kind of off. I don’t think they trust Timmins to be a regular, or want to burn out Gio again. I suppose they can platoon them, but it feels like the D is missing something. Maybe that’s the deadline add though.

 

[zeke]

yep confirmed - $1,150,000 is the buriable caphit limit. That's Lafferty's caphit.

 

[hockeylover]

I was a little worried when they did that Kampf signing that the bottom 6 would have too many black holes in it but I think tthey actually might manage to avoid that now. Beauty.

D is for sure off but they don't have space to add.

Rielly-Brodie
McCabe-Klingberg
Gio-Liljegren
Timmins

Looks shit but fun. I like fun.

 

[leafman101]

Should be no loyalty to Krok and Mcabe. They can create some decent Cap space for a D if the opportunity arises.

 

[zeke]

I mean I am not going to stress about replacing Holl and Schenn with Klingberg and Timmins, when that's a massive talent upgrade and may well be an actual on-ice impact upgrade too.

 

[zeke]

But it's nice we now have a full roster to work with.

Now Brad can approach the trade market without being forced to make a move.

 

[zeke]

ya know.....I wouldn't be against signing ZAR at league minimum, while sending Lafferty down. The guy can D.

 

[Preston]

That's probably something Kyle would do but I'm not convinced Tre knows what D is.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

That's probably something Kyle would do but I'm not convinced Tre knows what D is.

He knows its hard to lose scoring 5 goals.
