What a weird number lol

Probably some sort of calculation based on shortfalls interests for not having signing bonuses.

With 1 M$, you can make 50k-100K in interest per year, very low risk

Feel so bad for Formenton, if he likley gets put in a line like that he is not gonna have the Offensive numbers and take that step he looks like he is ready for. He needs some better players to play with. maybe Greig gets a call-up, or they try him in the second line on the off wing.

I'd staple Formenton on a line with Connor Brown. Connor is 61st in even strength points since 2019-20... He's a very good producer 5 on 5 or even on the PK. They'll be a very fast and relentless duo, they will give the opposition nightmares.


Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Pinto-Ennis
Formenton-Paul-Brown
Sanford-Tierney-Watson


White's injury really suck. Ennis at that spot is far from ideal but he plays the right way, could be a decent stop gap for a guy like Sokolov

The 4th line is far from great but I don't know, more TOI for the top-9 I guess

I like Brown with Pinto and Stuzle for the same reasons you mentioned. I think they would also give a lot of help with Stu and Pinto. hopefully, by next year we can either trade for a real 2 RW or Sokolov or Boucher can jump into that roll.

I would also be interested in either Formenton or Stu trying out the off-wing on line 2. Ideally, they could build a Brady - Pinto - Stu line then Formenton plays with Norris and Batherson. I would love to try that out for a few games.
