Thread: Draft Lottery Win
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Salary cap will be closer to $78 million this year possibly $80 million for the 2019/2020 NHL season, Rasmus Dahlins ELC will be 3 years $2.75 million or $925,000 per year+Bonuses No way can Edmonton afford to sign James Van Riemsdyke unless they move quite a bit of salary out like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins they wont have the space. Good luck convincing Sekera to waive for Buffalo don't see that happening. And adding Kreider as well you'd need to shed far more salary then this to afford both Kreider and JVR.</div></div>

Bob McKenzie has reported on multiple occasions that he believes the cap will be 80 million, so I believe him.

Buffalo needs any shake-up they can get, plus Sekera is an upgrade on McCabe when healthy. You can threaten Robadias Island to Sekera (LTIR) if he doesn't wave his no-movement clause. Also, income taxes are a lot better in New York than Alberta, so you can sell Sekera on that aspect. This trade would also clear up a lot of cap room for the Oilers.

An Edmonton first, and a b level prospect for Kreider is a good offer, as an Edmonton first will probably be a pick somewhere from pick number 10-20. This pick is a very valuable pick for a rebuilding team.

JVR on 7 million for five years is a good offer for a one dimensional 30 goal scorer, who's somewhat of a liability defensively. Plus offering him the opportunity to play with McDavid or Drasitl could be a good selling point. As they would both would boost his stats significantly, as they both are drastically better than Tyler Bozak.
