Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Well I put this one together as I wanted to see how things shake out after the trades today before the roster freeze.

1. Samson is made the Captain and signed Long Term 8/8 million per
2. Sabres retain on Eichel and Risto to maximize their respective trade value
3. Tampa Bay is desperate to shed salary so Adam says send me Johnson but I will need Sergachev as well but I will add a 2nd Round pick (Tampa needs draft capital) and a prospect
4. Ullmark is convinced to come back to Buffalo on a 2 year deal at $5,000,000 per
5. Cody Ceci rounds out the Defense core
6. Casey deserves a bump in salary but not what he thinks
7. Dahlin given some love but is told that once this bridge deal is complete he will be given the long term deal (his game took a step back during Krueger)
8. GM Adams goes Berniers or Eklund at the #1 pick as Sergachev takes Power out of consideration.

Trades

BUF

SEA

Eakin, Cody
2021 3rd round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

GM Adams sends a 3rd Round Pick to Seattle so they select Eakin

BUF

Glass, Cody
Tolvanen, Eeli [RFA Rights]
Tomasino, Philip
2021 1st round pick (NSH)

NSH

Eichel, Jack ($2,500,000 retained)

BUF

TBL

Pekar, Matej
Ristolainen, Rasmus ($2,700,000 retained)
2021 2nd round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

I am thinking that if the Sabres were to retain 50% on Risto and send a mid level prospect plus a pick it may be enough for Tampa Bay to pry Sergachev

It was heineman:

Last I heard they were looking for a puck mover to play behind dahlin

Hanafin is a no go.

Hanafin, Tkachuk, mangiapane Gaudreau and lindholm would be off the table. Can’t really pull an all in move and move pieces that effect the team now. Eichel replaces and substantially upgrades Monahan and valimaki can be moved.

Zary and Pelletier could be done but since there is no Hanafin I think valimaki might be the piece to go. Monahan and zary would help replace the scoring now and the future. Monahan could also be flipped for a package including a younger centre.

So let's see where we are please correct if I am missing something or have something incorrect.....
