What the deuce, just made a nice post about the roster breakdown for next year on the old one. Fine I'll make another one.
Foote(925k) Point(6.75) Kucherov(9.5)
Palat(5.3) Cirelli(3.0) Stamkos(8.5)
Killorn(4.45) Johnson(5.0) Verheaghe(900k)
Volkov(800k) Stephens(800k) Joseph(800k)
Hedman(7.88) Rutta(1.5)
McDonagh(6.75) Cernak(2.0)
Sergachev(4.0) Foote(925k)
Vasilevskiy(9.5)
McElhinney(1.3)
That's 80.58 on a 20 man roster. Trade Paquette + 4th to Ottawa for one of their 2nds, trade Coburn + 6th for 2021 4th. So that leaves Gourde as the only issue. With him we are over the cap unless it goes up a full 5% which takes the cap to over 85.5M. It probably won't go up that much so he needs to go, we could buy him out to save about 2.4 next year but it's a long buyout, so we really have to force him to waive. Teams like NJ and Columbus seem like good fits but neither has a 2nd or 3rd so not sure what we could get back. Detroit could use him but they aren't in a position where he would waive for the same with Ottawa. But I think we can get him to waive and run a bunch of kids in the lower lines to make things work.
Maybe so he can play during the All-Star break?Why send down Stephens right now? Unless they want to give Volkov more time.
Because we don’t play for like 8 daysWhy send down Stephens right now? Unless they want to give Volkov more time.

I'm drunk and this makes sense.Because we don’t play for like 8 days
9 day break. Let him get some reps.Why send down Stephens right now? Unless they want to give Volkov more time.
Charts.9 day break. Let him get some reps.
Gourde has NTC. Coburn has NTC. Killorn will have 16 teams on his list. My guess - Killorn is going to be traded.
Foote(1) Point(6.75) Kucherov(9.5)
Palat(5.3) Cirelli(3.0) Stamkos(8.5)
Gourde(5.17) Johnson(5.0) Verheaghe (1)

Well, a player may agree for a tradePlayers with NTC have been traded plenty of times before. Maybe Coburn doesn't waive since he took a cheap deal to stay but I'm sure he still would prefer to be playing regularly for maybe one more contract. He is already being healthy scratched a lot right now and being a long time vet he will want to play. As for Gourde I'm sure he wants to be playing somewhere else besides on the 4th line. He's got a ways to go before he looks for a new deal but he will still want to show what he's capable of throughout, he isn't getting that chance here playing where we have him.
Everyone just throws up the NTC and doesn't consider anything else. These guys want to play and going forward they aren't going to be playing as much as they like because we have others we want to play instead of them. With guys like Johnson and Palat they have to see it too that their time is coming up soon. One will most likely be off to Seattle for the expansion draft. So these guys need to consider making a move earlier to a team of their choice if we can work out a deal. Just saying I have a NTC isn't going to get them the ice time they may want. I think Killorn has a 75% chance of being dealt myself but I would be pressing these other guys real hard about waiving.
Well how about that
Bad news: We're leading the league in goal differential again. 2020 sweep confirmed.

I'd be surprised if more than two of Rutta, Verhaeghe, Gourde, or Volkov are on the team next year. It honestly wouldn't shock me if none of them are. Aside from the hurdle of Gourde's contract, I just don't get the long-term vibe from these players. Nothing against them, just don't see any "locks" for next season.
the money is a little low for sergachev and cirelli it’s probably going to be about a million higher each or another 500 k per year each
