Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The Rangers deal got pretty good feedback from STL and NYR fans. We move Allen to WSH where he can be a 1B to Samsonov and allow them to bring him along while still competing. I hate the idea of sending someone a 1st to get rid of one year of Steen, this way he gets to stay around instead of being bought out. Petro signs a $68 Mil deal, which another team would have to offer 9.7< to match. Dunn’s deal is according to his minutes played and doesn’t take any of his UFA years. Yes he could be offersheeted, but this team is probably going to be his best chance of winning. Next year, we throw Seattle some picks/prospects to take Faulk + Steen retires giving us over 12 mil in space to sign our RFAs and Schwartz.

I’d love to be able to draft Ryan O’Rourke but I’m not sure he’ll fall to us. Ideally we’d get a good RHD prospect but I think we ought to draft the best player available to restock our prospect pool. The Andersson move also helps with that. I think him and Kostin are a bit slow developing but could become good NHLers. Alexandorov has looked good and obviously Perunovich is the gem of the system after a huge year. Don’t sleep on Tyler Tucker or Washkurak. Wash has something of a Brendan Gallagher trait to him. Now there’s almost a zero percent chance he develops into Gallagher, but I rate him highly.
