Made a thread about this last year but feel this will be a talking point all year long.
Curious if there is a difference of opinion since December 2018.
We are projected to have just under $18 million in cap space by end of 2019-2020, that's not taking into account a slight cap increase as well. Probably closer to $19-20 million if we get a similar cap increase.
Borgstrom, Weegar, Malgin, Hawryluk, McCoshen, Brown and Montembeault are the RFA's to re-sign next year. How much do we expect to pay for 4-5 of these guys? $6-8 million?
Curious which path management will go with Borgstrom?
Does he get bridged to wait for cap increase/dead money off the books or do we lock him up now on a 5-6 year deal?
Don't see Weegar, Hawryluk and Montembeault getting too much of a pay increase, Brown will have to be even better this year to stick around.
Malgin and McCoshen are iffy to be re-signed/qualified.
The complication to re-sign both Dadonov and Hoffman comes with over-spending on D (feel we're losing a good $3-4 million here) and the new deals of Barkov, Trocheck and Huberdeau needed in 3-4 years time.
We all know what Dadonov and Hoffman bring to the table, both need new deals the end of this year.
Can we realistically sign both with all the ELC forwards coming through over the next few years?
Would Matheson or Yandle be moved for a cheaper shutdown LD to fit both of Dadonov and Hoffman?
If only one will be re-signed, who do you feel it is?
