honey nut cap crunch

PHI wont want those two and probably wont have cap space.

Kane, even as a huge risky UFA, will want (and get) more than 1.1mil.

I think your base 750k offer to the RFAs wont work, and will get more than that, (most of those guys make more than that now, and will gets the obligatory 15% uplifts) to the point where you won;t have 1.1mil for Kane and 600k in cap space.

Overall, its a pretty weak bottom 6 forwards and no 7th defenseman, even with giving away dandanov and brossoit (who will have to be moved this year, as eichel will return prior to deadline, even the NHL acknowledged this).

Another move will have to be made

Philly has 0 incentive to do that, and something tells me Vegas isn't the best environment for Evander Kane lmao

Evander Kane in Vegas would be...special...

They've gone below qualifying offers before, and certainly players like Leschyshyn would rather earn that 750k playing in the NHL all year rather than getting waived. None of their surplus forwards are really worth 800-900k.

For guys like Miromanov & Dugan their cap hit isn't as important as they don't have to pass through waivers so they can be qualified no problem. Miromanov is the 7th defenseman, recalled on game days from Henderson.


As for your comment that Roy-Karlsson-Kane makes for a weak bottom 6...er...agree to disagree lol.

BTW Dadonov has as many points as Couturier, and almost as many points as their 3rd leading scorer Konecny.

I think a better question would be why would they refuse him?
