Smith and Legwand are guys that could get shipped. Someone would take them imo. There's money for Condra, no reason to let him go
I'll be ****ing furious if they let Condra go and can't find a way to unload Greening or Smith.
As much as it concerns me that guys like Greening and Legwand can handcuff our ability to sign zibanejad, hoffman, and stone to decent extensions, i do think it could be a blessing in disguise. Just look at Boston with Smith and ourselves with Cowen, longish extensions can really bite
I'm a huge fan of short bridge contracts. Do it for Stone, Zib, Pageau, and Chiasson.
Give Hoffman 4 years
Turris was a bargain.
Mtl gave a short bridge to PK and it costs them a fortune the following year.
With Hoffman, Stone, Zibanejad and Condra needing new contracts. With how much wasted money we have, I'm quite concerned. Especially considering its going to be extremely hard to dump our junk.

Greening will be bought out which helps a little. Phillips will retire too which helps. 2 of Legwand, Wiercioch, and Gryba will be gone this summer.
Will Melnyk be willing to eat Greening's contract and spend to or close to the cap? Those are the main questions.
Phillips retiring doesnt help. It just gives melnyk more actual money to play with. We still eat Phillips cap hit
I totally think Greening is done. Melnyk was willing to have his NHL dollars sitting in the AHL. Why not just buy him out?
All of whom helped reach the cap floor and will likely be gone in a year or soWe have over 14 million committed to players who don't even play.
That is absolutely terrible 14!!!!!! And we are a budget team who "spends wisely". Like wtf.
That's just money where we are like "here. Take it. ".
