2016-17 trying to be realistic

Initial Creation Date: May 3, 2016

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
-Shattenkirk acquired for a centerman in his prime and a versatile top six d

-Teams need defense. Marc Staal 28 going on 29. Pair a mobile d man with him and you can get the most out of him. Edmonton want a d man or they wanna continue to give up six a game and have lottery picks forever?

-Glass has one year left on 1.4+. Arizona has loads of cap space. What is the worst that can happen? If he doesn't help the fourth line for them send him down. They are not using all their cap anyway.

-Stamkos signing at 11.5M. Does he wanna come to NY to help Lundqvist win a cup? You never know

-Buchnevich signing, 925k/3yrs.

-Caggiula signing. ELC, hopefully they win the sweepstakes

-Ryan Graves is the seventh d this year and learns on the fly after a full season last year with Hartford.

-Stalberg back for two years. Very serviceable in the bottom six. Great speed and size. Pouliot without the finish.

-Brodziak signing as a 13th FWD. Gives them experience and allows him to jump into the lineup in a fourth line role if needed.

-Jason Demers signed for 4.8M at 4-5 years. Replaces Boyle, or really replaces Stralman who this team has seriously missed.

-McIlrath into the lineup full time. If AV doesnt wanna play him well then he can look for another job.

-Medvedev had a good year for Philly. Never was a Hakstoll favorite for some reason. Smooth, mobile blueliner, could replace Klein.

-Miller, Hayes bridge deals.

      Stamkos got $1m too much imo, since players with multiple cups got $10.5... Also think Nash or Kreider goes for shatty

      Problem is, I dont buy the Nash for Shatt talk. Why would they want a 31 going on 32 yr old winger for a dman who is hitting his prime. Brassard more likely.

      Overall, really good.

      Some things I like:

      + Very realistic deal for Shattenkirk. Brassard would fill the void for them if Backes leaves and Klein helps them fill a bottom-4 slot with a dependable guy.

      + Buchnevich and Caggiula would make us much younger and deeper for a cheap price.

      + Stalberg and Brodziak are nice depth signings. And realistically, they're interchangeable with whoever is willing to take that sort of money next year. Boyes played for cheaper than that this year so there's always an opportunity to find those cheap gems.

      Some things I'm iffy about:

      ~ Having Stamkos and Nash. Like them both, but I'm not sure a team needs both. You'll have to build the top-6 around them and I think they'd need to be on separate lines. Do we have the personnel we need to put around them? We might. I'm also just worried about tying up about $20m in just two forwards. That's a lot of money.

      ~ Medvedev is a question mark for me. He looked good but I still feel like we don't know if he's really suited for NA ice. But, that's a fair price point for a low risk, high reward chance.

      Some things I don't like:

      - I hate how people think we can just dump people in Arizona because they have the cap space. Here's the thing: cap space is a valuable asset. If you want someone to eat your cap issues, then it will cost you. There is no way that Arizona wants to take the chance on a guy who is likely to make almost $1.5m in the AHL. Their pocket books can't justify that. That's why they make moves like acquiring Pronger. Pronger moved them $5m closer to the cap floor for only $575k in actual salary. They're imply not a dumping ground.

      - The M. Staal trade seems unlikely to me. First: NMC. Second: I doubt they give up a 3rd round pick for him. His stock is low. And they're going to want good defenseman rather than overpriced ones. They'll go after guys like Vatanen, Shattenkirk, Yandle, Demers, and Goligoski. Those guys have tons more value on the ice than M. Staal does and they won't cost much more.
