Quoting: JTBF81
Paquette and Killorn will both be moved, there are also ways to get rid of a big chunk of Coburn's hit as well if he won't waive. Paquette has no ntc either. Sorry, but we won't be trading either Cirelli or Serg nor losing them to an offer sheet.
I mean if some team wants to get Cirelli for 8-9 million $, it's their choice. If Cirelli accepts it, it's his choice.
Based on our culture. Cirelli doesn't really like to play in Montreal/xyz insert other mediocre teams, i feel
He is my favorite player for a reason, like Point was last year. What Point said to offersheets? No thanks, delete my number from your phone Mr "Bergevin".... hahaaa...
Only bad Gm's make those offersheets with bad teams anyways.
I'm 90% sure Cirelli rather stays here for 5-6 mill(bridge or 5 years etc..) then go to 8mill to Buffalo... But anything can happen...
If he accepts the offersheet, we will make the correct decision. If the draft picks come from ottawa, we might even accept the 1/1 18.5% next year. You never know... All i'm saying, our cap problems are solvable, yes Paquette,Coburn, i already sold them in my test ACGM... The math works... trades can happen... I also waived some NTC.... easier here ofc... i would be actually shocked if they both stay... then BriseBois is a god... they are good players.. we just can't afford little overpayments in these years... too many big fish we have Vasi,Heddy,Stammer,Kuch etc...
I think Gourde goes 80%+... if he stays.... BriseBois will solve it... He has months to do it... And 10-20+ people helping him... Contracts can be buried as well btw... cap managing is his job and he is good at it... He just got 2 solid palyer for 3 mill $ combined. Price was crazy... but he got what he wanted.... I wonder what he wants to do with other problems? Oh yeah he wants to-----------------Solve it!
EASY!
