Thread: No Buyout or Trades Needed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tmclean64</b></div><div>I agree Boeser is the better option on line 1, but I dont think Jake is responsible enough defensively to play line 2..... I dont think anyone deserves to be in the top 6 over Jake.</div></div>

Well if you don't think Jake is responsible enough to be on your 2nd line then he would have to slot in on the 3rd, Jake is not and never will be a top line player. Based on your roster I'd re-organize the entire right side to that it would look like: 1st - Boeser, 2nd - Motte, 3rd - Virtanen, 4th - MacEwen. Motte showed enough in the playoffs that he has more potential then a 3rd/4th line checker/grinder and PKer, give him a chance at an expanded role on the 2nd with BO and Pearson and see what happens. If it doesn't work then there are other options. I just don't see Jake being a fit with Miller and Petty and benefiting their games.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tmclean64</b></div><div>Louie buyout saves 1M the following year but adds 1M the year after</div></div>
Waiving him in 21-22 saves 1.12M with no cap hit in 22-23 vs the 2M savings from a buyout in 21-22 plus the 1M cap hit in 22-23. If he spends the entire year in the minors this year and is told that he will do the same next year, hopefully he will agree to terminate his contract!
