I like the forward-thinking on the D line up there.

I would not be too fast to move on Formenton, keeping him on the 3rd line and PK would be a huge bonus for the season moving forward now that Brown is gone. and he will come in at a good AAV.

Also, i would say take Jarventie out, more Kelley back to LW which is his natural side, and bring up Boucher, Sokolov, or Crookshank

Wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from Brannstrom after this season but he'll likely sign a 2 year deal this off season.

I don't really want to move him either but him and Joseph are very similar players and my roster above is already 250k above the cap.

I can agree with Sokolov over Jarventie but I don't think Boucher or Crookshank would be ready for the NHL in one year ish time.

Formenton and Jospeh are similar and that is part of why they would work so well together on a line, Especially with Pinto who is a great passer and faceoff wizard.

I see it like this, they will come in at decently low AAVs, then that third line with their speed will get some great secondary scoring because of the line matchups they would get. Also, Formenton and Jospeh together are probably a top 10 PK unit in the league. Huge value when they have to get extensions done in a couple of years and the Sens are in their window. I would lock both up now for +4 years and hopefully below 3 AAV.

100% agree with that. However that top 6 is taking up a lot of the cap space and I don't know if you have room to pay both of those guys. I would like to keep them both but Pinto could have a great season and get more than 2.5 million on his next deal making it even harder to keep both of them. I also think the contracts I signed were pretty accurate like Stutzle at 8.25 and Debrincat at 9.150.

Decent Roster Sim for a bozo, I'd say trade jarventie and some picks for marino instead of weegar. Pit is over the cap after signing Geno, and marino is younger + on a better deal. Would help us save about 1.1M which can be used to give jimmy and decrincat if needed. Jarventie's game doesnt translate to bottom 6 like a Boucher or Sokolov's does so I'd rather insert them. Pretty solid overall tho

I think weegar is more of a stud than Marino. Weegar can be a 25 minute+ a night guy/1st pairing D compared to 20 mins a night and a 3rd or 4th defenceman. I think it would also take less to get Weegar because of FLA cap situation. Definitely agree about the cap space but maybe Weegar would take a hometown discount on his next contract. Jarventie doesn't have the skill or production so far to justify him immediately jumping into the top 6 or even 9, also no room for him there. Can agree that Boucher would fit a bottom 6 role better but I don't see him being NHL ready at the start of the 2023 season.
