Back in the hunt

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I think the Lilleberg - Crozier pairing is a fine 3rd pairing, with a full season under their belt they will only continue to get better and more polished at the NHL level. This biggest upgrade to this team is adding a 15-20 goal scorer in the bottom six in Carcone. His shot is very underrated and there’s no reason he couldn’t pot 20-25 in consistent 3rd line minutes with Paul and Jeannot making room for him. I love Eyssimont, but he is much better suited on the 4th line. I’d love to see Jeannot get more offensive minutes as well to try to rekindle his rookie season production.

Stamkos isn’t gonna sign for less than $8M AAV and Duclair will get at least $5M in the open market.

Not having serg for almost 50 games probably was a big problem, same with vasi missing significant time. Lots of rest time for them this off-season to heal and come back strong next season.

That’s some crazy values. Duclair has had some good seasons and never once been paid more than 3 mill. I think if he’s lucky he gets 4 mill. A lot of top winger’s potentially available in UFA and he’s not in the top 10 probably not even top 15 so he won’t get no overpayment unless it’s Chicago or San Jose.

Stammer is a captain and a leader I doubt he try’s to bankrupt tampa.

If he signs with a contender I feel he will sign a malkin esce contract 3-4yrs 5.75-6.75 mill maybe if he was to go to Anaheim or Montreal and try to offer some leadership help then he probably asks for something like 2-3 years 7-8 mill but again idk many 34 years old that get 8 mill contracts

That doesn’t fits the fact that Sergy himself was a defensive liability in the games he did play. But that’s not even the problem. The problem is td. Cernak has been awful and he’s the best out of our rd. Perbix can not be in this roster next year so that alone needs for a new rd added to the mix. Crozier is not good enough to play in the top 4

Love Carcone but only having three right shot forwards on the team (two of which are on the same powerplay) absolutely stinks ngl
