I got a better idea we turn the calendar back to November 9th 2020 and sign:
Vesey over Girgensons and save $1,300,000
Larsson over Eakin and save $850,000
Kahun over Duclair and save $1,100,000
Pysyk over Rieder negative cap by $50,000

This creates an extra $3,200,000 of cap space.

Skinner Eichel Thompson
Hall Staal Olofsson
Kahun Cozens Reinhart
Vesey Larsson Okposo. Vesey was one of the Ranger's PK forwards.

You all can laugh at me but Vesey will take Kapanen's spot on the PK in Toronto and will have twice as many goals as Girgensons at the end of the season.
Larsson will have nearly as many pts as Eakin with a much better +/-.
Kahun will get exceed 40 pts playing for the oilers and the end of the season will have more pts and goals than Duclair.
Pysyk will have at least double the goals and pts as Rieder playing the RW (he scored a hat trick at RW last year) and he could slip into RHD if there were injuries.

That is my rant of the day.</div></div>

Yeah I was shocked they didn't sign Kahun, it freaking baffled me, but I guess he was willing to take less money for the opportunity to play with his good buddy Draisaitl.

Thread: Another year out of the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Yeah they aint making it considering if the canadian division happens tampa, boston, st louis may be in floridas new division. If not Carolina, pittsburgh, and other strong teams will be in the division. Plus other than the first line. Florida really has no 2nd, 3rd and 4th line. The dcore got better but goaltending is still a big IF and thats concerning for a team who has trouble keeping the puck out of the net.</div></div>

Yeah I read that their division could potentially have Tampa, St.Louis, Carolina, Columbus, and Nashville all probable/potential playoff teams. The only teams they will probably be better than in their potential division would be Chicago and Detroit.

Thread: Get Johnson and Cernak from Tampa
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dpdan</b></div><div>As a Wings fan would like this deal? What does it do to their long term plans?</div></div>

Well if the Wings got Johnson they would have 41 million in cap space (including Johnson's 5mil cap hit) with Hronek, Bertuzzi, and Lindstrom being the big RFA's and no big UFAs coming off (unless u consider Bernier to be that). Im not all to familiar with Detroit's prospect poll as I am with other teams except Raymond, Lindstrom and Seider who I would all expect to be on the 2022 roster. So without signing or resigning anybody the roster would have 8 forwards, 3 d-men, and 1 goalie and thats also without losing a player to expansion. Realistically tho you could acquire Johnson and then leave him exposed in the SEA draft and they may choose him.

Thread: Get Johnson and Cernak from Tampa
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dpdan</b></div><div>It’s either going to take some real outside the box moves or some team doing something really stupid if TB wants to get anything even close to fair value in any trade. Everyone knows that they have to clear a ton of salary and the teams with cap space at this point are closer to rebuilding than contending so they’ll want either high picks, top prospects or young rfa types like Cernak. Either way I want SOMETHING to happen soon</div></div>

THANK YOU somebody gets it, jeez everyone thinks I'm throwing Cernak in here like he's just some meh piece and don't understand the desperate state Tampa Bay is in. If I were NJ I'd do a trade for Johnson (obviously if he agrees to go there) if Cernak is involved.
