The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Yeah, it was like watching the worst movie in the world, which suddenly redeemed itself at the end in the post credits scene that sets up an incredible sequel.

Roslovic

21-22: 1.08g/60, 0.76a1/60, 0.38a2/60 --- 1.84p1/60, 2.23p/60, 2.04avg - 1st line production
22-23: 0.39g/60, 0.97a1/60, 0.52a2/60 --- 1.36p1/60, 1.87p/60, 1.61avg - 2nd line

24-25: 1.17g/60, 0.49a1/60, 0.43a2/60 --- 1.66p1/60, 2.09p/60, 1.88avg - 1st line
25-26: 0.92g/60, 0.37a1/60, 0.43a2/60 --- 1.29p1/60, 1.73p/60, 1.52avg - 2nd/3rd line

not a guarantee for top-6 production but should be at least middle six productive, and could easily be better than that.


Cowan

25-26: 0.58g/60, 0.58a1/60, 0.29a2/60 --- 1.16p1/60, 1.44p/60, 1.30avg - 3rd line

Hopefully 3rd line is his floor, and he'll be up to legit top-6 production this year and beyond.

inconsistent but the one bad year in 24-25 seems to have been an injury thing, and he bumped back up to solid middle six production last year. seems like a pretty good bet to be high end 3rd line production again tbh, if not more. At this point I think it would be a mistake to move him.

Blueger and Paul both seem like we shouldn't expect much more than borderline 3rd line production.

These 3 are pure 4th line production. At best.

we might have a non-disastrous offensive bottom 6. maybe.

but it wouldve been really nice to have some legit 2nd line production on the 3rd line.

So with everyone signed they have about $500k in cap space with Domi, and Stecher/Lorentz with the Marlies.

Or they LTIR Domi and have a bunch of room.
 
The Stecher/Lorentz cap hit, along with McKenna/Cowan waiver exemption, allows them to get to within $100k of the cap before Domi goes on LTIR.

So if he’s out the year they have about $4.25 mill in cap space with Stecher/Lorentz on the Marlies.
 
$1,872,382 in capspace with one forward slot open.

So basically a million in capspace with whichever near league min forward they call up as the 14th.....which they probably just keep as a cushion, but could add to any traded player's caphit to add a slightly higher caphit player.
 
The highest caphit they could call up as the 23rd man is Koblar's $1,028,333, which would leave them with $844k in space.

The lowesr caphit they could call up as the 23rd man is Groulx/Mermis/Pezzetta's $812,500, which would leave them with $1.06m in space.
