f***ing laffably incredible

 

[Jacob]

I like it.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Very nice. Leaves around 4m to work with.

 

[Andy99]

Noice!

 

[Ryder71]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Great cap hit. I thought he might tip in at one million per. NOICE!

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Niiiiiice

No, not four million. JR will want to leave a little cap space. I'd say we can safely afford between 3.0 to 3.25 million. Hopefully we don't even need that much but if so, we'll be ok.

You wood!

They could probably move ZARs 1m if they need to use that whole 4m. I think Yohe had mentioned that ZAR could be moved.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Given they like a little cushion and possible Simon return...2-3M to work with?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This offseason is kinda going... well?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

The extra year here is nice.

Right now they have 77.5 projected cap and 71.1 real money spent.

 

[Peat]

Standard contract tbh.

I'd love to move ZAR. I'm not sure however what appeal he'd have for another team.

My hope is we deal McCann, and find a better fit.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Standard contract tbh.

Yeah but we're used to "standard contract ++"

Don’t you dare say that until we’re clear of early free agency JR.

It’s kind of going... we’ll see? Matheson could be a bad move and has to be the biggest wait and see, JJ being bought out was phenomenal, I like this contract, the Murray return was solid, Kapanen could be an over pay, not qualifying Simon makes sense, McCann could piss everyone off.


I think we’re in year two of JR having some kind of speed based plan, though. We’re out of the size and grit phase.

 

[Ryder71]

We could get one of Haula, Cousins, Hinostroza or Fast and still have a little left over. I'd be happy with any of the four. Ideally I'd prefer a center but....

 

[Son Goku]

ZAR for a 4th incoming lol

 

[Peat]

Not for players with his playing history. Or at least, we shouldn't be, as it hasn't happened. Guys with only half a season of playing time or so get 1 or 2 x min wage. I can't think of a single deviation from this rule.

Tbh, I think his RFA signings in general had been pretty solid, barring maybe his tendency to go a little large on second pairing dmen (but then, dmen get paid). But this type of RFA is just routine.

 

[vodeni]

I want to hope that he will turn into an NHL player, but so far every opportunity he had to show up when needed he blew...so my bar is pretty low, he can only go up

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I think he's already an NHL player. He just needs a permanent spot in the lineup to play through his growing pains and develop at the NHL level.

I don't think he'll be anything more than a 4th liner, but that's fine. He seems like a cheaper, younger Tanev. Speed, tenacity, and energy with not much else.

JR’s big contract problem is free agents he has to have and it’s the same thing as trading for players he has to have. He’s sane if he already has the player in his possesssion.
