NO BUYOTS

Created by: ohman77
Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 4, 2021
Published: Jun. 5, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
In this scenario I tried to not buyout anyone. If you buyout Neal and Koski you'll have 5M in dead cap for the next 2 years just from buyouts.

NJ - we take one less year of Subban which I think is better for us as we need to give Nurse and Pulju raises next year. He can play a similar role as Barrie mostly PP and he'll be sheltered by Nurse. NJD gets 2 picks and 3M in cap. Can also buyout Neal and will get 7M in cap

SEA - Leave Bear exposed so they take Koski at half price. I think it's better than buying him out, again, save money in 2022-23

VAN - might be a bit much for JJ. Will take 5th if it's too much

PIT - They only have one pick in the first 4 rounds. so they get a 3rd for taking on Kass. Might be able to make an impact there. Has the tools just no consistency. If VAN trade doesn't work just keep Kass. I left enough cap for that

Nuge - gave him 6 years so he can take a bit of a pay cut. I think 30Mx6 is reasonable

Saad - Might get more somewhere else but he gets to play with Connor here so maybe

Bjugstad - Could sign Getzlaf instead but I don't think he comes to here

All in all defense is a bit weak but we can upgrade in 2022-23 as we have a lot of cap space then too. Left 3M in cap in case Klef returns or if some UFAs cost a bit more

Devils decline. Rather have one year of Subban than 2 years of Neal. Subban is also more useful to the Devils than Neal would be

In a flat cap world, it will take more than just a 3rd to take on Kassian, especially considering the Pens have no use for him

I don't know if the Pens would be able to take on Kassian's contract with nothing going back. I am not the greatest fan of Kassian but I did recently read his name pop up in a pens article. Would you be willing to do a Zucker for Kassian a 2nd and/or a 3rd?

Boooo

Buyouts for all!

Also...

You staunchly wanted to avoid dead cap but then retained half on Koskinen then took on the equivalent of the 6M$ of dead money of Neal with Subban...

Huh?

Someone didn’t read Burkies comments flushed cheeks

#Pens Director of Hockey Operations Brian Burke on #CookAndJoe show on #Penguins lack of physicality “were not gonna change who we are which is speed and skill but we’re not ugly enough”

Someone doesn't know that the free-agent market exists and there are players available who are "gritty" and simeltaneously far better than Kassian flushed cheeks:

Enlighten me

Twas also just a counter to your “Pens have no use for him” which is false. Not saying Kassian is the end all be all of the penguins success ahahaha

Would much rather do Matheson for Kassian and a 2nd or 3rd. Hell I’d probably be ok with Matheson for Kassian straight up
