<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Gaudreau 9-10M, Tkachuk 9-10M, Mangiapane 5-6M, Kylington likely 3-4M averaging those salaries is 28M, that's if they sign for that low. Could be up to 30+M for those 4 players. That's not even filling in the rest of the roster yet. Also yes you can go over during the offseason, what do you do at the start of the season?</div></div>

Yeah but Gaudreau is the first domino to fall and all those other guys are under team control as rfas. Kylington and Mangiapane can start the season unsigned if need be. And plus monahan is recovering from injury so who knows if he on LTIR to start the season. Yeah we need the cap space but saying its a 1st for Gaudreau and that we would be letting him walk without even trying couldnt be more wrong. If he walks its because he wants to go elsewhere, It doesnt come down to money, simple as that. The 1st that we would be giving away is to fill out the roster and make sure our rfas are playing at the start of the season. Has nothing to do with johnny.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JamCam</b></div><div>Not sure I agree... even though we're going to need Mony's money off the book s next season to re-sign 13, 19, 58m and 88, we're still going to need a decent middle-six center. The two million difference doesn't seem like a lot, but a serviceable Dvorak in Mony's place could be huge.</div></div>

The $2m isnt enough. Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane and Kylington will get a combined raise well over $2m so we need more money. Ruzicka will play the 3rd line center role next season and him at $1m or less is much better than Dvorak at $4m+. Sutter said himself at his presser yesterday that if Ruzicka is gonna play the 4th line center role than he might as well play in Stockton so he is going to play 3rd line. With our cap situation we need to make use of these cheaper contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joblow</b></div><div>It cost Toronto a first round pick to get rid of Marleau deal. I assume that anyone who will be taking on Monahan deal without sending back money will ask for a huge haul. At least if they trade for Dvorak who is a very solid 2nd/3rd centerman gave Calgary depth at probably the most important position in hockey. They also would save 2 millions in cap space which would help them a lot. But if they can find a deal to unload Monahan contract then it would be the beat option. But you would still be a center short.</div></div>

Marleau was also 40yrs old and making pretty much the same that monahan is now except monahan is only 27 so its a bit different. I think it would only cost us a 2nd rnder cuz his buyout aint even that bad. Either way my point was that we need all the $6m in space for our upcoming FAs so cant take the dvorak contract even if hed be a good 3rd line center for us. Wed be better off buying Monahan out cuz then his cap hit is only $2m. Not really a center short either cuz we got Ruzicka who has been solid for us in the middle 6 and Richardson can easily play the 4th line center role.
