Kuzy is not going to Carolina, most likely a team that has Cap space and is rebuilding like the Ducks or sharks. Oilers don't need Mantha and don't have space for him.

Are you saying Carolina doesnt have cap space? Theyll have 35m in free cash after this season? Lol Kuzy will only eat 5m of that. Assuming you have clueless their cap situation.

Oilers may not be able to afford him. I can agree on that one

I am not saying that. But don't they have to and want to resign Necas and Aho AND get a goalie?

Aho gets like 10 mil like Barkov and Necas gets 5.5 mil like Kuzmenko (I think) so that is 15.5 left in cap and if they want to sign a good goalie, take out 5 mil and they only got 10.5 left and that can be for defense of depth

You think that will cost 30+ million? Aho might get 2m more? So that takes them down to 28m. Necas probably gets 6.5? So 24m to sign a goalie? Seems extremely do able w Kuzy especially with the cap going up after 2023-24 season

They had 35m in space… included in that is Aho making 8.4 million. If he gets 10m you only subtract 1.6m off that 35m since 8.4 is already accounted for.

Bro do the math yourself. Aho raise only cost 1.6 of that 35m since his 8.4m cap hit is already accounted for in that cap hit. Necas 5.5m deal still leaves them 25+ million in space. 😊

with 25 mil in cap space, if you were in the right state of mind, you would know that they could sign other forwards, defense and a goalie.

I’ll dumb it down for you since math is hard. I’m 24-25 the Canes will have 67m in cap space. This number is off the cap doesn’t go up. Now they do have a few players they need to extend but again a ton of cap space.

Prolly lol. You’re the one that thought they would be paying AHO 18million bc you can’t do basic math lol.

“Canes dont have cap space” 35million next year? Yeah good call. Really struggling with that limited cap space.

Nobody gives a shi that they have 35 mil in cap. Paying Aho and Necas is 17 mil in total. Getting a goalie is atleast 3 mil. That's 21 mil. Even though they still have 14 mil in cap, they still gotta resign other players.

They’ll have 67m!!!!!! In cap space by the time they need to sign those guys. HOW ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS. just make a team so you can see the cap situation. Holy FK you are making such basic things into rocket science. Lol my guy you really need to look things up before arrogantly spewing nonsense as facts lol

Figured. I think he’s an extremely underrated player. If he can find a little more offense he can be a fantastic player
