Line Combos: Annual Cap Overview

[Konami McDavid]

Hello folks,

I have been doing this for a few years now. I am pretty sure I shared it last year, but under a different thread. I figured this year I would make a thread for it. It shows my projected lines (as they stand prior to signing and trades), as well as positions to be filled and projected values. It all culminates in a final cap number that includes buy-outs and burying Manning in the minors. Since spreadsheets don't copy/past well, I left it as an attachment.

The highlighted cells are where I feel we have a hole, and what I consider our target contract for that position should be. In the end, we would end up just under the cap ceiling. If anyone internally fills a hole, it would result in savings. I noted 5 that could be used, but am not convinced any are ready.

Enjoy (edited as per comments below)

I think your first line total is missing Drai's 8.5M.

I was looking at it for awhile how the hell we had so much cap space for a 5m 4m and 3m Forward, would be wishful thinking though.

Good catch gents. That changes this drastically. I made the edits.

Let me know if you see anything else

I don’t see how we are going to get rid of Manning’s cap hit

With only one year left, you’d think so me team would be open to taking him on.

Thanks @Prostyle!

I whipped up a quick capfriendly using your template. I figured the only way to really improve the roster but fit under the cap is by trading Russell.

So basically, instead of the 2 4th line wingers you signed for 950k, I signed JP and JJ for 1.1 million each. I added 500k to the top line winger spot, and 1 million to the 2nd line spot. By bringing up Jones, we have a 22 man roster with 2.4 million in cap space:

Connolly (3) - McDavid - Draisaitl
Donskoi (2.5) - Nuge - Kassian
Khaira - Brassard (2.2) - Puljujarvi
Lucic - Brodziak - Nygard
Gagner, Cave

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Sekera
Jones - Benning
Perrson

Koskinen
Mrazek (2.5)


We have ~200k in cap space.
