Initial Creation Date: Jun. 8, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I will start with I don't think Landeskog will leave the Ave's I think he resigns. However, they have some possible cap issues coming up with having to renew Makar and they have no goalies signed next season. I suspect Grubauer will get a raise and resigns with the Avs. I suspect the Avs's will spend around 6m in net next year. Avs's fans am I correct in the assumption? They also have 8m in LITR that may have to be accounted for next year. They will most likely get some relief with the expansion draft creating some more room.

The CGY and CLB trade was one that I read as a speculation so I used it here. That trade suggested TB 1st for Monny, but Tre is good at negotiating so I used the TO pick. Johnny to Buff and the first is based on the fact that Reinhart is one year from UFA and sounds like he wants out of Buffalo to play closer to home. This trade get Buff something. Risto has been written off by many a Buffalo fan, so can he learn from Sutter and Gio and become what he was expected to be with their help. Again Buffalo gets something for him before he possibly walks for free. Jonny goes with one year left which can become a TDL 1st , or a possible resign if Buffalo can find a way to keep Eichel and they have chemistry. Essentially a first for each player. Possibly CGY need to add to make it happen and they do have pick to do so.

Lucic goes to Seattle for Cap relief. People say it will require a 1st but again Tre is a wizard at times so its a 2nd and 3rd. Calgary still has their first if necessary to make it happen. Possibly Gio gets pick which actually helps CGY's cap situation even more. CGY would sign another defender in the 5.5 m range and could add 500k to Landeskog and Reinhart each if necessary.

Ideally, I would like to have Landeskog/Reinhart play 1st Line C with Tkachuk, but they generally play the wing so I put Lindy on the 1st line. Instead I put Tkachuk on the 2nd as the MMA line.

Long term outlook looks good as CGY would have over 27m in Cap the next year for resigning players.
