Forsberg extension

Team: 2022-23 Carolina Hurricanes

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2022

Published: Feb. 25, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Not realistic but just wanted to see how / if a Forsberg extension would fit into what the Canes need to do next year and beyond.

Definitely gets tight and likely need to ship a bigger contract if you want something like this to work out without losing a young core piece - I chose Skjei in this scenario.

I don't love the 3rd pair but didn't feel like going into the weeds too much - I did like what Chatfield has shown when he's played this year and Cole is a serviceable 3rd pair / leadership type guy. Have 3.5-4M to mess with the 3rd pair if Cole & Chatfield aren't your cup of tea.

2 years down the road it's going to get tight with key UFAs (Aho, Pesce, Turbo) and RFAs (Drury, Jarvis, Rees) likely due raises. Staal and a couple of smaller contracts are moving off and hopefully cap raises by then so you can keep Aho and Pesce for sure, Turbo may be a cap casualty though.

Unsure on the TDA extension - his play this year might dictate a better deal but his past can't be excluded from negotiations. I used the Barrie deal as a baseline even though I think TDA is a bit better and younger.
