Thread: next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Why haven't you signed Samorukov? I think he'll be in the NHL next year... and that Cap Space guy will have to score 30+ goals to justify his $7M+ price tag.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>samorukov will be there before lennstrom that's for sure. lennstrom will be back in sweden next year. I also seriously doubt there will be a taxi squad.</div></div>

-Samorukov is signed thru 2021-22 and unless room opens up, I'd expect him in Bakersfield/Canadian city to get ice-time. Too much of a logjam.
-As for Nuge, I'd be fine with letting him go for 7 mil if he scores at his current rate. However, I'd expect that to change with the amount of XGF that the line is generating.
-Lennstrom is more of a filler, could easily replace him with anybody.
-I'd expect that the taxi-squad stays or Bakersfield goes up North. I don't think Covid quarantine restrictions between the US and Canada will be changing anytime soon.

Thread: Waiver Claims
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilerfan_Bill</b></div><div>If your Detroit by now you know what the teams are going to look like at the start of the season at the time that Johnson went on Waivers last time no one knew how TB was gonna get out of the cap crater they were in. They managed with Kuch going on LTIR and Ott trade. If your Detroit and have nothing but cash and aren't going to be competing for a while why wouldn't you claim Johnson and flip him for a high pick after you retain half his salary..</div></div>

Johnson is on a 4 year deal with mediocre play. Tampa is way above the cap next season. If a team claims Johnson, leverage on other players (including what they had on Johnson) goes down. Why would you acquire Johnson? When at minimum, his negative value is worth a 1st round.
