VAN says YES

That's in the 2021 Offseason by the way. Only 1 year left. We have tons of cap so we don't mind helping you guys out for the pick.

It'd be really sad to see them waste their precious cap space during a cup window on an dead $ contract just for a solid pick, similarly to get rid of a generational offensive D for the 25th / 55th pick (oddly to a team with many young defense already) in an ok draft.

They have so much extra cap? The team is pretty set unless we can find a top 6 center which never happens.

why would they take on a cap dump as a potentially contending team?

Better win then, because it's going to get a heck of a lot harder when Kakko, Zibanejad, Krav, and Fox need new deals.

Also I think Chytil and Lindgren will get more than a 2x2.75

Either chytil gets more or he's a terrible option for 2c

They can afford it?

Good point. We'll see.

Van trade won’t work. Also we have to sign Mika in this upcoming off season and Igor so

Eriksson will be gone by then.

It’s not worth it tbh. If we are contending we could get someone at the deadline with the cap Space that we would have.

We have $7M. We don't need $14M. The 2nd could ease the blow of the move too.

We need a 2C. I don’t think Phil will be ready to be a 2c in 22. He’s a great 3c but idk abt. Maybe we acquire Danult at deadline basically as a “rental” but than we resign him. I’d rather pay Danult 6 mil than Loui 6 mil.

sign a better 2C or for deadline moves is a much better use of cap spcae

Didn't notice a big 2C market

danault, RNH and probably more I'm forgetting
