Thread: Sometimes a simple ACGM is the best ACGM
Real concern is what happens if any of the young RFA guys play well, you've got 62 mil tied up in 6 forwards and 3 dmen, leaving just 21 mil for the other 14 players for the next 2 years, (or 73mil tied up in 8 forwards and 5men and 1 goalie, leaving just 10mil for the other 7players).

Its just not alot of wiggle room, if forsberg falters especially.

And its getting close the the Toronto team structure, with hardly anybody in the 1.5mil to 4.5mil range, so its all ELC/lge minimum or big ticket guys (currently you have 2 guys between 1.5mil-4.5mil, you have 9 guys over 4.5mil and 10 guys on ELC). The second any of those RFAs play well, theres little to no money to give them raises.

Its also very dependent on the team AS IS taking that next step that they couldn;t this year, with little to no help/space for any TDL moves.

Thread: Ottawa needs the cap to rise to 85 million to comfortably sign their RFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>There's no point paying $9 million for DeBrincat when in this scenario we'd have Tkachuk, Stutzle, Giroux, Batherson, Norris, Bedard, Pinto, Greig, Joseph etc.</div></div>

1. A long term deal at roughly 9 million is what it will take to prevent DeBrincat from walking to free agency next year.

40 goal scorers don't come around that often.

When Coach DJ is having DeBrincat play with Pinto instead of Stutzle and then getting him to battle for loose pucks in the corner against much bigger players, there's obviously an issue.




2. If we finish better than 11th worst in the league, we don't get Bedard.




3. I'd rather move out Joseph instead of DeBrincat, given that DeBrincat contributes a lot more offensively.

And Greig is still a rookie.

And we might lose Batherson to the Hockey Canada scandal.

The Sens might look very different when next season rolls around.
