PHI wont want those two and probably wont have cap space.

Kane, even as a huge risky UFA, will want (and get) more than 1.1mil.

I think your base 750k offer to the RFAs wont work, and will get more than that, (most of those guys make more than that now, and will gets the obligatory 15% uplifts) to the point where you won;t have 1.1mil for Kane and 600k in cap space.

Overall, its a pretty weak bottom 6 forwards and no 7th defenseman, even with giving away dandanov and brossoit (who will have to be moved this year, as eichel will return prior to deadline, even the NHL acknowledged this).

Another move will have to be made

Philly has 0 incentive to do that, and something tells me Vegas isn't the best environment for Evander Kane lmao

Evander Kane in Vegas would be...special...

They've gone below qualifying offers before, and certainly players like Leschyshyn would rather earn that 750k playing in the NHL all year rather than getting waived. None of their surplus forwards are really worth 800-900k.

For guys like Miromanov & Dugan their cap hit isn't as important as they don't have to pass through waivers so they can be qualified no problem. Miromanov is the 7th defenseman, recalled on game days from Henderson.


As for your comment that Roy-Karlsson-Kane makes for a weak bottom 6...er...agree to disagree lol.

BTW Dadonov has as many points as Couturier, and almost as many points as their 3rd leading scorer Konecny.

I think a better question would be why would they refuse him?

Primed for success man!

Side note- I think Hague and Roy both sign for nearly twice that

Hague will when he accepts our offersheet

Oh yes please! I’m big on Roy as well too (next to Lundeström)

What would you offer Hague?

$4 mil? Something in the 2nd round pick cost. I mean, if Hampus stays, it's less of a need, but if he walks, I'm all over it.

Oh absolutely. Same thoughts. Like 3-5 years somewhere at $4,110,000. Keep it right in the second round, don’t want to send a 1st and 3rd though

Agreed. Given how the team plays with Hampus vs. Without, I'd be busting my balls to get an extension done ASAP though.

I think Cam is more important!

Hague is coming off his ELC, which should make him a 10.2c RFA and ineligible for an offer sheet.

I could be wrong, but I believe you're incorrect. A player becomes a 10.2 (c) RFA if they don't meet the following requirements:
Group 2 Restricted Free Agent Requirements
First SPC Signing Age Professional experience required
18-21 3
22-23 2
24+ 1

Hague is 23 and is in his 4th professional season. Again, I could be absolutely wrong, but my understanding is that 10.2(C) typically applies to players who end up burning a year off of their ELC's by coming out of college and signing to finish the season (ie. Hughes, McAvoy).

If I'm wong, I apologize!

Does that make him a group 2?

My understanding is that it does, which would make him eligible for an offersheet.
