really sad that Buffalo cannot cap dump the management

Pass from Vancouver

First round pick next year frees up 6 mil of dead cap. Or 4.8 if you send him down.

oilers pass on both

Well. Instant rebuild in 1-2 years. Think of those picks in 2021. 4 instant roster guys.

You wouldn't pay two late firsts and a second for 11.5 mil in cap space?

You could legitimately build a dynasty with these picks. 19 first round picks in two years.

absolutley not. they arent in that dire need for cap space this year.
so why give up 2 1st rounders and a 2nd
If they really need the space they can use buy out on 1 if not both or retain salary and pay a lower price.

Fair enough, interchange those with taking on SJS contracts.

Devils decline both

FWIW, they're interesting in Risto, and I couldn't find a better place for Quinn lol

Bubble teams like Vancouver don't trade their first rounders for a 1 year cap dump

Relax. You're gonna make the playoffs, it's the Pacific FFS. You also need the space if you want to sign Petey and Hughes long term.

I get selling but selling 20 yearolds to draft 18 yearolds seems a bit silly.

Risto is super Overrated imo. The max I would give for him is a 3rd

Maybe Quinn to Anaheim or Calgary

Or here me out they wait one year and get rid of the 6m cap for no assests

Figured I'd get them as young as possible, as these cap dumps are gonna severely delay this team's window, and two years can make a huge difference.

If you sign Petey and Hughes to 1 year deals, than sure. Go ahead.

I'm not a fan of Risto but going off what I think GM's value him as.

21 million to re-sign them but carry on

*Them and a whole bunch of forwards and D men. Trade Loui and they don't have to be on bridge deals, you can lock them up long term.

I am saying there is no need to trade louie if it's at cost at a first, hamonic will be back for around a mill if cap is such a huge issue we got kids that come in and take the spots it's really not when all Is said and done Van has around 6-10 depending on who seattle takes, in capspace to fill out the rest of the roster

Don't need to sign them long-term

You're fine with a bridge to FA?

What are you talking about? They have a few years to FA. A 3 year bridge still has them as RFAs after 3 years
