Description

Seeing a lot of moves to clear cap for CBJ. CapFriendly has us at about $3M of cap-space; but, that is based on our current NHL roster having *29* players on it.

After moving a few guys to the AHL (Chinny needs the time; one of KJ/ Marchenko would likely spend time there), we actually have closer to $6.5M in cap space.

Chinakhov, KJ, Marchenko, Tarasov (i.e. the guys who matter) are all waivers exempt.

Assuming the purported $8.5M cap hit on a Laine contract, we need to clear out a bit over $2M to be compliant for opening night. That is with Bemstrom and TFW not being signed (which, meh...)

We still need to move cap, not just to sign Laine, but to have the buffer for call-ups, accruing space during the season, and to make space for another one of the prospects to get good playing time; but, the situation really isn't that bad, unless there is something I am missing.

Doesn’t help the fact at all that Gudbrandon signed a 4x4 lmaooo, that contract is horrifying

There's a decent chance that signing played a role in getting Gaudreau. Zero regrets with how yesterday turned out.

So it looks like Nyquist is the most likely guy to be move out to me (as an outsider with not a ton of knowledge about CBJ) Voracek/Bjorkstrand are other possibilities, but Voraceck would be a hefty move that a lot of teams wouldn’t be able to afford cap wise, and Bjorkstrand is decent value on his contract and they may not want to move him.

You could probably move Nyquist , move Texier up and open up more cap space
