[Mr Misty]

Things are moving along nicely

 

[Ben Matlock]

That's nice I guess. He'll be middle-six RW I presume?

I imagine that's where he'll spend most of his time, also making appearances on the 1st and 4th line.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

That's a bit more than I was hoping he'd get.

its crazy how much certain players make nowadays

The real question is how they fit Faksa in now?

Almost 3m in cap space. Not really a question at all.

 

[M88K]

Almost 3m in cap space. Not really a question at all.

They can't keep 14 forwards and 8 or 9 defensemen. 2 bodies will get moved to the AHL or traded at minimum.

Faksa 2 or 3yrs at 2.5-2.75 would be god though

Oleksiak is going to get close to 1M. So 2M for Faksa?

Oleksiak should sign his QO and be happy to be headed for waivers. He and Nemeth are not needed.

There is at least 3.6 left in cap space, it shouldn't be an issue.

Oleksiak has trade value. Would be really dumb to let him go to waivers when he just needs a change of scenery.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

He is an amazing 3rd liner and passable 2nd liner, good stuff!!!

People have been saying that for 3 years and still no one else wants him

According to whom? Getting a 5th or a 6th isn't worth the risk that Nill will go back to 8 defensemen to preserve his mostly worthless asset if nobody is interested.

I know these things are all relative, but when you see the type of money being thrown around in the NBA recently for guys who are less than house-hold names, an extra 300K or something in the NHL seems like peanuts.
