Show me the roster you're fielding last year keeping Buchnevich. More importantly (and why he was traded) show me the roster this year with Buch earning 5.8. Show me it next year, when it's even worse, with Buch.
The math doesn't work. Please don't forget the buyouts when you're figuring this stuff out.
What doesn't work? You quoted a post where the math works. You've seen other posts where I also point out we could've traded away geo (to take on a min backup g...shot you could trade for one with money retained so the backup is making around min. You could also trade for f or d with money retained. Maybe use the 2nd we threw away to dump nemeth)
And even if u don't trade for a retained contract, buch is 5.8.
The other guys were 9.4
9.4 -5.8= enough room for three or 4 min contracts.
So how does it not work?
I'm not pissed, it's just frustrating when someone rolls in and wants to rehash a discussion that this board has had countless times. Like I get you just signed up and want to talk about it, but you also have to understand that it was a situation that was literally beaten to death and then some when it went down. That's all fine though, if you want to go through it again and people want to engage on it again that's fine, I am not the arbiter of what is and isn't worthy of being discussed (anymore, LOL).
This quote coming up isnt mine.
" It is not impossible but its hard to see how we could have another almost $6 mill contract on the wing. If Buch was a center that would have worked but on the wing with Bread (11mil), Kreider(6.5 mill), Laf and Kakko on the wings I do not know that we would have the cap room."
I didn't start it. I responded to it. U said it was me being "smarter than every1." Now ur telling me you were just holding me accountable bc some1 else resurrected a supposedly dead topic. Either way, im not saying its a crisis but it's a little shitty.
If I did ressurect it or if I was nasty then I owe an apology but I don't think I did anything wrong here
