Thread: The Bob Contract Makes Me Very Sad Cap Dump Fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VijayPatel11</b></div><div>Honestly, I'd just run with the contract for a few years until we can safely buy him out. There are no real issues posed by his contract atm. No reason to give up a king's ransom in prospects and picks to get rid of it, it would just be bad asset management to do that.</div></div>

My only worry is within the next 2 years, Florida has to sign nearly every big piece they have. Even if you don't sign Wennberg and/or Bennett, you need to find a way to bring back Barkov, Huberdeau, Marchment, Verhaeghe, Weeger, and Knight (and to a lesser extent Vatrano and Forsling). I don't think you can make that happen with the Bob contract on the books and buying him out in 2 years still means you need to pay him essentially 7 mil until 2026. I think Florida has a right to be a lil desperate right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Not sure you can give Seattle enough to take Bobrovsky (they can probably smell the desperation) plus he needs to waive his NMC correct? With those picks all likely being in the 2nd half of the first round, they're not super valuable. Retaining on that contract seems unwise, if that was my only option I'd probably do the buyout instead (should be over by the time you need to give Spencer Knight a big deal).

I bet Lundell and Denisenko might get it done (not suggesting that as a deal but if I'm Seattle that's my first ask).</div></div>

Admittedly I'm not super familiar with the prospect pool outside of Lundell, so I didn't really know who to add their. I was definitely tempted to put him in the deal however, but decided against it. I don't really think a buyout is an option, you'd be paying him ~6 mil until 25-26 and paying him 2 mil after that until 2031, so if you are going to trade him I think retaining is the only way to get it done, even with all the assets the world has to offer. Again I know its very unlikely that you can even move Bob but I think you can theoretically do it with the right package + retention.
