Quoting: Leafs_and_Sens_Fan
They have way too many NTC.
Guys getting paid over 2M without full NTC: Point, Cirelli, Sergachev, Cernak, Vasilevsky, Killorn
Guys getting paid over 1M without full NTC: Coleman, Paquette, McElhinney
Im confused, are you answering the problem yourself here?
Yes they have to trade some of those guys, possibly buyout a guy like Gourde and make sure the RFA take bridge deals.
Thats without moving a guy like Johnson, Palat, mCDonagh, Gourde if possible, etc etc.
Plus some of those guys dont have full NMCs i dont think. Only modified NTC. Palat maybe? I. Ant remember.
It can be done and yes it will be hard. No less hard than convincing Price, Vas, McD and Gourde to all waive their NMCs for eachother.
Worst comes to worst they'll have to sacrifice some picks and prospects to entice some teams to take on players.
Once again hard but not impossible.
