Description
Wishful thinking I know, But depending on a couple key guys and their asks.. it might be possible to keep the band together next year and going forward provided the cap rises as predicted or more. Murray buyout $2M is rough the 2nd season but I think it will have to be done. Should be covered by the cap increase. Then all you have to worry about is Sandin and Liljegren.

Not enough for Meier. Trade value or AAV. Bunting gets more too.

Even if everyone takes this team, you're running a 20-man roster. Unless Matthews or Nylander are coming off the books the following season, there's no way to sustain this. Even with a 5m raise it would likely be very tight.

Filip Forsberg comparable. Yes, I initially had him at $8M but just saying, it's almost there. Maybe he'd be up for it.

If Bunting gets more he does NOT get term. My thinking is that he wants to play here, he will get paid well and get to play with incredible players for the rest of his career. He is not a star in his own right but is a good complimentary piece. Can't overpay those guys in a hard cap system. Fact is Toronto doesn't need him and if they pay him more it doesn't actually help them.

Also, I'd actually be in favour of NOT signing him and just slot in Jarncrok until Knies is ready.

I don't think Bunting will get a lot more. But I think Dubas is making a big mistake giving him 8 years. Holland once gave Abdelkader 7 years and the Red Wings are still paying for it. Literally.
