Leafs get cap compliant
Tex is better than Kerfoot. So just keep tex.
Our centers will continue to develop, probably more quickly now that we have another playmaking winger (like Panarin) in gaudreau. He will have very good assist numbers just like Voracek did. That is why I like having Gaudreau and Voracek on different lines. Keep Laine with Voracek and place either Kent Johnson or Tex on the other wing with Gaudreau.

You can’t be serious.
Both key players are on final year contracts and the 1st is 3 years from now.
Calgary is imploding almost as fast as Chicago.
It’s sad. One bad move or event begets future bad moves (desperation).
I’m so glad Jarmo didn’t get crazy desperate back when Bob/Panarin/Duchene/Dzingle all walked.

Jarmo & staff hit on more 3rd/4ths than most hit on 1sts/2nds.
I would have preferred Nyquist myself since he only has 1 year left.But that is why Jarmo chose Bjorkstrand, for the same reason…the same value he unloaded this year with Olli to make cap, he will also lose that value next year when Nyquist contract expires, so he can sign Gavi & Peeke in 2023. I like Bjorkstrand a lot, but agree Gaudreau is a huge upgrade.
And you can’t keep all the toys all the time.

texier plays with a bit of an edge, has good two-way ability, and has scoring upside.
It'll probably be Bean.
I guess it makes sense, unload one of them now and then use Nyquist's money next year with the salary cap increase to pay gavrikov and peeke.

Well they can't trade Robinson now, since he (directly or indirectly) helped sway Gaudreau to sign here.
I hate losing either one, I'm voting for Nyquist since he only has 1 year left anyway and has larger salary cap hit, so they would have a bit of room under the cap.

I seriously doubt they will send hometown kids Roslovic or Kuraly or captain Jenner packing.
Boqvist and Bean are possible, but given the D corp experience, not sure sending them on would be wise.
It stands to reason, Voracek, Bjorkstrand, or Nyquist are the 3 to choose from.
They still need Voracek's passing skills and Bjorkstrand's secondary scoring.
But Bjorkstrand would be more a desirable trade target from the other team's perspective (young, scoring ability, contract, etc.)
We shall see.

Based on current payroll, they need to shed about $3M
Only 9 players make this amount on the team (other than Laine who just signed): Gaudreau, Roslovic, Voracek, Jenner, Bjorkstrand, Nyquiest, Werenski, Gudbranson, and Elvis.
Thanks for the memories, as Paul Simon once sang in 50 ways....hop on the bus, Gus (Nyquist)

He is burning through his 2nd team in 3 years.
Winnepeg wants fair value for him, and I get that completely.
However, did you see how quickly the misery in Ottawa with Hoffman/Ericksson brought that team down?
If Winnepeg truly wants to fix their problems, then I think Chevy would take the picks and cut/run from Dubois, and use that salary to sign best remaining UFA this year.
Otherwise, the toxic locker room will remain in perpetuity

Blue Jackets Current Cap Situation After AHL Moves
Basically if Laine takes up $7.5M this year, they would need to shed about $1.3M, (inserting Laine and moving Olivier down) but probably would need to shed more, like Nyquist's salary, to be more comfortably under the cap.
In 2023 though, the 4 big contracts they would need to handle would be Tex, Gav, Peeke, and Laine, especially if Tex continues to break out
(not sure what his personal issues/leave was all about, but I could see him possibly bolting back to Europe like Hofmann did).
There won't be enough $$$ to go around if the cap only goes up another $1.5M-$2.0M.
That Gudbranson contract of $4M is about twice as high as it should be, and really hurts them.
Also, IMO, Marchenko seems to be much more likely to stay up and play over Chinakov

Not making much sense here.
Nyquist is the only cap dump the Jackets need to worry about this year.
The rest will play itself out down the road.
Coulemans, Jiricek and Mateychuk all will have 2-3 years to develop in AHL, just like Peeke did.
The whole point of drafting and developing, especially D men who take much longer, is to let the current NHL players play out their earlier contracts before they get to their big contract deadline.
Make the hard decisions when you need to, not before.

Or Montreal can force PLD hand by OS him. $6M would net a 1st & 3rd back to WIN. $7M would net a 1st, 2nd & 3rd back to WIN.
If it is a long term OS, WIN would be crazy to match and keep him in the locker room long term.
Either way, it is more beneficial for Montreal going the OS route.
Since they don't have to obtain him right away based on their needs, they would force WIN to make a big decision.

Paul Stastny said after the season that the Jets dressing room is poison. A reporter from the Winnipeg Free Press that retired also said the locker room was filled with the worst human beings he ever met. Paul Maurice, the coach, quit midway through the season. Shall I go on??!
jets need to tear it down. Chevy shouldnt even be a GM after the Chicago fiasco.</div></div>
I didn't hear about all that.
I know the Hoffman/Karlsson thing in Ottawa brought that team to its knees for a spell, until it was solved via trades. Move them both out.
It sounds like the degeneration of the Jets' locker room has been going bad for quite a while, Dubois aside.
Just curious how many others in there are creating problems.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>OS 7x7
WPG can match or dont
MTL really doesnt care lol
If they dont its a 1st ,2nd and a 3rd round pick
If they do then over time PLD will become Toxic and moved for less
If they're lucky they'll get a Oreilly return or a little less then given Oreilly>PLD as he wins Faceoffs at Elite Level(been #1 a few times)
MTL OS is just daring WPG to F themselves over
By Proxy it eliminates them as a future contender tying up cap and a roster spot by someone who hates them
As seen in CBJ if ignored long enough PLD will get increasingly aggressive
Either way Accepted or Not
WPG walks away worse no matter what
Their only out is to accept the OS and hope MTL's
unprotected 1st is a good one and PLD does the same to them triggering a Tank</div></div>
It stands to reason if PLD really wants to play for the Habs, he would need to take less $$$, especially via an offer sheet since Montreal would have less time to move money around.
Not to mention he would probably need to give a hometown discount since everybody knows just how bad he wants to play there, including Montreal.
Winnepeg should cut and run from him just like Columbus did. Part of it was definitely Torts, but it seems he carries some emotional baggage wherever he goes.
Laine was a very respectable return for PLD, and we are hoping that the Gaudreau signing will help sway Laine to sign long-term as well.
Like you indicate above, who knows, after a couple years in Montreal, PLD may just revert back to his old miserable self.
