My stab at the quickest route to contention

Created by: TMarch
Team: 2020-21 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 14, 2020
Published: Apr. 14, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
No cap raise due to the shutdown. 2020 season does not finish (I have a hard time seeing it come back before August). No season finish, no draft lottery, the lottery is based on standings. 1 compliance buyout.

This is how the season will end (2021 ending). Also need to consider the expansion draft, where you have to expose players for each level (a goalie, 2 F, and a dman). 7/3/1 or 8 skaters and 1 G can be protected. Zadina, Veleno, Lafreniere, Seider are exempt (along with anyone else drafted in 2018-2020). I'd protect this way:

Larkin
Bertuzzi
Mantha
Fabbri
Rasmussen (assuming he extends by then)
Hronek (assuming he extends by then)
Cholo (assuming he extends by then)
Svech or Timashov (depending on which one extends)
Talbot

They aren't a playoff team yet, but a lot of dead weight in gone, draft picks are starting to play in the NHL (with room to grow), and a lot more picks/players still to come.

Expect some inflation to minimum ELC in the future, it can't max 925k forever

Yeah, just factoring in some kind of inflation on the top ELC contract. Doesn't really affect the bottom line of anything in this case.

Don’t like Kreider as a comparable due to age. Kreider is 3 years older than Mantha, so there wasn’t much projection left in him. With Mantha, you are buying out a year of control, plus throwing in projection.

His closest comparable could be Sam Reinhart, but even that’s difficult because Sam is a C, and Mantha is a RW. Sam is also an RFA scoring at about the same PPG as Mantha (.63 for Sam, .66 for Tony), but Sam has more time in the league (400 games vs 260 games).

The Mantha contract is going to be super difficult. He’s older than most RFAs getting big money long term contracts and still has projection, but he’s not a UFA yet where you are paying for past performance on someone’s downside.

Yeah but at the same time look at the offensive talent on the Rangers they have more wiggle room because they don't need Kreider as much as the Wings need Mantha.
