Thread: Need Cap Space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Missouri</b></div><div>Cheaper dman, cheaper 4th or 3rd line guy and a pick depending how good those players are.

Maybe:

:devils
Stefan Noesen - Not to shabby but not great.
Mirco Mueller - Decent 3rd line dman for us.
1st rd pick - Evens out value.

:goldenknights
Reaves
Clarkson
McNabb</div></div>

No way they're trading a 1st Round Pick for that return. Noesen also wasn't tendered by the Devils so he's all yours.

While I personally like Reaves' fit, the only person that's going to be on the Devils after year 1 is McNabb – the Reaves and Clarkson are cap dumps. McNabb is not worth a 1st round pick, and the other 2 bring down his value.

Most I would offer would be something like

:devils
Mirco Mueller
Mikey McLeod

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jinchoo</b></div><div>Well Hall is already making 6, so it'd only be another 4-5 on top of that towards the cap, but yeah i agree that Nico will be getting atleast 6-7, Bratt 3-4, and a couple mill for Blackwood. People dont realize that our cap situation is going to be gone very quickly just from our own players in the next year. So at the low end just those 4 players it'll be like 16-17 million. We're still in a great situation and we still have room to be able to add another player this offseason but we cant be spending stupid money. We have less cap available than people realize</div></div>

Yeah, we're on the same page – but his "Long-Term Outlook" only clears $21m next season, and that doesn't count any $ towards the players I named above... and we would need to sign / pay 11 more players with that money. Not do-able if you want to keep them all.
