Around The League - 2021 offseason part II

[OmNomNom]

Landeskog isnt a center

landeskog plays LW with MacKinnon

f*** i'm so bad at this. even so, still like em

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Oh nvm, I forgot that Mackinnon is on a cheap-ass contract right now. They'll be fine for 2 more years. Not sure if he'll be taking that home discount anymore though with what Landeskog got.

TB may clear enough cap to operate but they are losing meaningful depth pieces and have little in the way of top notch ELC talent right now. They will still be cup favorites next season but they are slowly eroding and probably somewhat susceptible to injuries for now.

boohoo they are going for a threepeat you think they care about the future? You can’t stay at the top forever

They've lost their entire 2nd line. They shouldn't be favorites

Curious how that will impact tarasenko. Word was that's who they really wanted. Now they could retain or take money back if they wanted, maybe do a player for player deal. Opens some interesting options for them

Good news for them is no one in the east is really catching up to them yet.

Carolina was a team you would think was getting ready to seriously become a heavyweight in the east but are now seemingly going backwards.

I feel like Vlad is ours if Fitz really wants him. I am still on the fence about it and the asset cost would mean everything.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Teams are giving away legit players for free just to clear space.

Cap space is important.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I'll worry about cap space when a team is forced to move a franchise player because of no cap space. Fleury is no scrub sure but it's the smarter move to keep Lehner over him. Losing Johnson won't hurt Tampa at all.

They had to trade Johnson to clear space. Coleman is walking because they can't afford to resign him. They already lost Goodrow.

It's absolutely going to affect them.

Tampa are the cap circumvention kings lmao

Julien Brisebois is a capologiste and he’s playing with the system like he conceived it.

Good for them!

Fitz about to take 91 off their hands for cheap

I kind of want to give Armstrong a lot of props for holding his ground thus far lol

 

[Guttersniped]

Too much for me but it's fair for a guy going onto the open market

Aw, Joe got a little sentimental in the midnight hour. That contract is a likely mistake, but hey, that’s their problem.

I don't really understand your point. The entire idea of the cap is to invest the biggest portions of it to your franchise players. Ofc they're going to eventually have to move some lesser players out.

exactly this tyler Johnson isn’t a franchise player. Coleman isn’t either (if they even lose him) they are nice depth players sure but teams aren’t built just today alone there’s an entire season ahead of us. I’m sure the bolts know what they are looking to do

this guy gets it

they move out goodrew whatever his name is and this board instantly mocked the contract he got. So sounds like they made the right move with that.

The "cap space is important" thing would make sense if a team suddenly had to ship out a guy like Hedman or someone of that caliber cuz of no cap space, but that hasn't happened yet. Teams have constantly been able to ship out spare parts. I'm not worried at all.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Give the Blues Thompson straight up and then they can have ROR and the better Thompson brother
