Thread: This team win the cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsin9</b></div><div>The devils were a terrible defensively last season. I want to say the gave up 271 goals (6th worst in the nhl). Not saying they need nisk but he would certainly help. He plays on washingtons top d pairing. Also getting a solid prospect who was a top 10 baker award finalist and a solid bottom 6 guy isn’t terrible for a 2nd and a 4th. Idk njd cap situation but they defense sucks and could use a major upgrade. If devils “decline” I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to get this value from a different team</div></div>

They could absolutely use a major upgrade on defense but they sure as hell ain't doing that by trading a very valuable asset in the 34th overall pick for a 32 year old Niskanen.

They'd rather just keep the 2nd and 4th round picks and sign 32 year old Anton Stralman in UFA to the same contract that remains on Niskanen's deal - 2 years, 5.75 million AAV.

Thread: Offseason 2019 Kakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonesryan</b></div><div>Lol. Bracco replaces Brown. Bracco will still be on a cheap deal by then as he has not much NHL experience. Dermott replaces Muzzin. Rosén replaces Dermott.. Rosén makes $775K. Problem solved.. easily.

I also find it funny how your team is allowed to offer sheet a team to screw them over, but no one can touch your teams players for the same reason. Get your head outta your ass and realize that offer sheets don't happen. Hell Nylander just sat out until literally the last second and there wa no offer sheet signed.. that was literally the perfect time for one and it never happened.

Lol.</div></div>

Lol. I understand Bracco replaces Brown. Lol. Bracco will still come with a salary. Lol. Dermott's new contract will pretty much replicate the contract that is coming off the books in Muzzin. Lol. Rosen's salary will pretty much replace Dermott's salary. Lol.

The Devils have tons of salary cap space, so no Hischier will not be getting offersheeted. He will be signed before he is even an RFA.

Thread: Offseason 2019 Kakko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonesryan</b></div><div>... I said NEXT off-season the Leafs will have minimum $15M in cap space, so that's after this season when they already sign Marner and Kapanen and everyone else. Brown is probably already gone, so there's another $2.1M added to next season's cap space, and Kadri could very well be moved as it is. Toronto has Muzzin's replacement in Dermott. So that's not an issue. Muzzin off the books ($4M), Marleau off ($6.25M) and Brown off ($2.1M).. that's $12.25M before the cap even rises again. That's just in guarantees cap space from losing guys. All that cap room and their only significant guy to re-sign that summer is Dermott. My point isn't that just cause the Leafs have the money they can be the "mob boss of the NHL", it's that because they have the cap space and actual money, they can choose to push you around if you try to do the same to them by overpaying one of their RFA's. There's a reason why teams don't offersheet players, it gives GM's a bad reputation. &amp; overpaying the RFA's gives the GM's an even worse reputation.. it won't happen.</div></div>


You do know that when you subtract a player such as Brown (and his 2.1 million cap hit), you have to replace that player in the lineup, and that replacement player doesn't come with a salary of 0. Just because you are subtracting Muzzin's 4 million off the books doesn't mean "it frees up 4 million". If Durmott truly is Muzzin's replacement, he will likely be paid accordingly, as his contract expires the same time Muzzin's does. So assuming Dermott get's 3 million per season, thats only freeing up 1 million, and you also have to have a player to replace Dermott - who will cost around 1 million. Therefore, not freeing up much, if anything at all.

Not to mention, there is zero zero zero zero zero chance that Toronto would successfuly sign Hischier to an offer sheet. No matter what the Devils do to try to mess up Toronto's cap situation.
