with the cap now known... losing colin miller to vegas... signing rfa pastrnak to 6.5 mill deal, ryan spooner to 3 mill, roughly 1 mill to accari, schaller, morrow... keeping hayes, belesky, mcquaid and kevan miller we have a 74 million dollar lineup for these 22 players
david pastrnak, patrice bergeron, brad marchand
ryan spooner, david krejci, frank vatrano
noel accari, david backes, sean kuraly
jimmy hayes, riley nash, matt belesky
tim schaller
brandon carlo, zdeno chara
charlie mcavoy, kevan miller
adam mcquaid, torey krug
joe morrow
tuuka rask
anton khubodin
we basically have 1 mill capspace to dress a 23rd player
so ANY OTHER UPGRADES NEED TO BE MONEY IN/MONEY OUT
for me... i walk away from spooner and his 3 mill... if jarome iginla will sign for a million, he will be my replacement until one of the kids take the job
i might bury hayes and promote a kid... but thats determined by whether or not hayes plays better... same with belesky... dont see either guy as tradable
takes me to the defense... is kevan miller the right guy to play with mcavoy?
if we save 2 mill from spooner to iginla and upgrade over kevan miller we can afford 4.5 mill for our new left hand shot dman
spooner/miller and picks/prospects our our currency for a potential trade
id knock on all 30 doors and find a trade...
might not be sexy going into next year with only 1 trade and only 1 ufa signing but thats how i see it looking at the reality of our situation
