Quoting: DogDayCaps2
He has a NMC and it would probably cost more than a great prospect to move 40m for a good goalie. I mean you could to a similar risk on Mrázek and it’ll cost you a fraction of the money and term. FLa needs to retain and pay up.
ya but buffalo has 40 mill in cap and in the next 2 years the only big players they need to resign is thompson, cozens and samuelsson.
thompson if he can replicate a similar season to what he did this year will get about 6-7 mill
cozens will get like a 3-5 mill bridge deal
samuelsson probably 2-3 mill bridge deal.
they also get rid of girgensons, okposo and bjork's contracts which is over 9mill.
for the next 5 years the only guys they will potentially having make over 7 mill is thompson, Dahlin and skinner.
so i think it would be a very smart for them to offer up krebs for Lundell and bobrovsky no retention maybe florida adds a little more like another one of their top 4 prospects.
Bob gives them a stop gap goalie for one of their prospects to rise up, he also will help them compete more as that seems to be in the direction they want to head in no more tanking, also helps them reach the cap floor. Plus they get their franchise center in Lundell.
they would have a core of Lundell, Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Thompson, Quinn, Tuch, Peterka, Cozens, Rosen, 9OA and 16OA selections. like once they get over skinner and bobrovsky's contract it will be just in time to get all their extensions out most those guys still being on bridge deals and they will have a future dynasty team if all their top prospects and players turn out and at this moment all their guys are developing very nicely.
