11.5M for the two RFA’s, so we’ve got like 1.5-2M in cap space currently? Pretty good.
1.76m with a 23 man roster. Once Suter is healthy and someone is traded or waived should leave them at 2.4-2.5m with two extra skaters. No more emergency callups? knock on wood$1.7M
Not exactly the dire situations we've been in recently. Should have plenty of room for callups if 1 or 2 guys should get banged up.
Question now is if we have Nino Zucker Parise 100% who plays where?
Depends on who fills the 9th top 9 spot between Kunin and Greenway (the two front runners) and where they play, if the coaches are more comfortable playing them with another younger player (Eriksson Ek) or playing on a line that is going to get tough defensive assignments (Koivu). Also assumes that Zucker/Staal/Granlund starts as the top line, which isn't a given.
Only if the cap goes up I think. Otherwise Staal could be tough without a discount.Keeps us in good shape for Staal and Eriksson Ek's bridge next summer too.
i understand the many variables thats why im curious what others think is it Zucker LW1 Parise LW2 Nino LW3?
I would go like this:
Zucker - Staal - Granlund
Parise - Koivu - Nino/Coyle
Greenway - Eriksson Ek - Coyle/Nino
