Is having Bozak on 4.2m as a 3rd line centre, with Kadri probably wanting more, and then potentially Kessler or Stastny on 6m+ realistic cap space-wise though?
Add around that...
If they add a #1c that's at least around 6mil
+ resign bollaand, gardiner, kulemin? Then Kadri, bernier
And still need to add a top 4 ifnot top pairr dman
Lupul is great but with his history I think Hes becoming the odd man out...especially if nonisi isnt trading youth

Yes. Cap is going up 7 mill and Kessel and Phaneufs raises are covered by buyouts coming off the books. Basically we have the opportunity to hard 7 mill to the current team.
Then i'd be all for it if people like Leivo are ready for the step up.

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(estimations for 2014-15)
SALARY CAP: $71,100,000; CAP PAYROLL: $69,011,667; BONUSES: $982,500
CAP SPACE (20-man roster): $2,088,333
Assuming Statsny for example is our only addition, gives us 2 mill cushion space to upgrade else where
Franson please!
OT: It's hilarious that you've been stuck with "The Podium" for the last year
Stastny is. Good at faceoffs
Add around that...

Why move kadri to wing?If we do trade Lupul, (I am not a fan of trading Lupul), I would look to bring in at least a #3Dman.
Then sign Stastny in the Offseason
JVR-Bozak-kessel
Kadri-Stastny-clarkson
I've been saying we should go for Ladd for a while. People don't see it right now, but this team needs consistent secondary scoring/toughness.
Lupul has been everything but consistent and is not a good defensive player.
That lineup looks worse then what we have currently.
Also, Bozak is better then Stastny defensively, and Bozak is also scoring at a higher pace then Stastny as well.
Umm please, your are not seriously trying to suggest that TB is better then PS, are you?
Lets see what PS can get as a UFA compared to what TB got, that should give you a bit of measure.
At what they currently are they are definitely equal. However, Statsny will make more due to his past 70/80+ point seasons
Oh IDK about that, look I have gained much respect for what TB has done this season but PS is still the better, all around player.
I hope you will get a better understanding once PS inks for 6+ this summer.
PS : PS won't get 6+ because he had 70/80p in the past, he will get it because he has had 70/80 p in the past and looks like he can reproduce that in the right environment.
He is not getting Olympic PP time because their coach's are stupid.
yeah, thats the reason.
I'd think it would be good to have our top 3 Cs to be
TB
PS
NK
Fit in Lups/Clark with either NK or PS and run 3 scoring lines with a 4th line that is a strong checking line ,sans goons.
If you can add a PS without losing assets, that's a good thing.
Cool story but that has nothing to do with my post.
Also, cool story that we're pencil NK in as our new 3rd line C after what 2 games? Bolland over Kulie 10 times out of 10 for me. Especially considering offensive abilities and likely contract demands.
