Ducks weaponizing cap space to accelerate rebuild

Created by: Matt2406
Team: 2023-24 Anaheim Ducks
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 2, 2023
Published: Jul. 2, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Ducks capitalize on cap space while Toronto gets the goalie they need and solves their cap problem.

Meanwhile the Ducks accelerate their rebuild, still have cap space after signing Zegras, Drysdale, Terry, and Dostal. They will likely wanna find another D man yet.

They also have Silf to move at deadline or simply expire which frees up another $5 million. And Murray will fall off as well.

Welcome back after your long hiatus.

I don't think that the internal economic structure of the team includes a desire to pay John Gibson $11.4 million not to play for us.

Terry gets more (probably in money and almost certainly in term) than that and Drysdale and Dostal, who after all haven't had the chance to prove much, get less of both.

Do they? Well over the cap… haven’t been able to get an extension done with Nylander… and long been tied in rumors to Gibson. If they wanna make a legit run at the cup not a single goalie on the leafs roster is gonna lead that path.

Gibson said that when he was “committed to the rebuild in Anaheim.” After a year of the leagues worst D… a chance to make a run with a pretty loaded Leafs team might be enough to change that perspective.

Thanks for the warm welcome back. Chilling in the hospital after my son was born. Passing time while he and the wife sleep.

While paying him to not pay for us instead ideal… I agree… it’s a means to an end. I wouldn’t be shocked if you’re right in the Terry contract as well as the Dostal.
