Thread: keeping me up at night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lambchopz</b></div><div>Why does everyone think Roy is a necessity to pickup? He is a slightly better but more expensive Holl. Averages less TOI/GP, has slightly better analytical results, less points, less hits and blocked shots, has a worse giveaway-takeaway ratio, and his microstats aren’t better. I would rather have Roy than Holl, but a 1.25 mil pay gap is barely worth it. Roy is very similar to Holl but a little more less prone to giveaways with an even lower offensive value provided</div></div>

Matt Roy isn't for sale, but I think I can answer the why.

Matt Roy took over Drew Doughty's role last season and had some incredibly hard assignments. Matt Roy is a pure defensive defenseman and would be seen to open up a more offensive type player (Muzzin or Morgan). To put it into perspective 36 year old Alex Edler rebounded offensively the moment he was paired with Matt Roy.

If you are looking to move Muzzin next season, Roy would artificially boost his defensive numbers and set him up better offensively. Unfortunately, Matt Roy is one of the few defensive defensemen we can rely on against extremely tough competition, so it's a no go.

Thread: developing primeau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canesfan21_</b></div><div>Nobody is giving up a first for Drouin and probably not a 2nd either. Dadonov certainly does not get a first considering he’s been cap dumped twice in the past year. Byron is a cap dump. Allen is worth more</div></div>

1st - Cap dump at a time CGY had no cap to be in on Dadanov
2nd -43 points shows he was productive earning his cap
3rd- VGK screwed themselves with Eichel having to gift almost a Point Per Game Player in Pacioretty to you guys
They'll have to dump another 7m atleast to skate a 23 man roster

Context being that not every team is so desperate
Those who are giving away productive players signed way to many players to high value deals with term
There's maybe 5 teams in the NHL who had this business model
Not Everyone is giving away players as productive as Dadanov
Actually there's different players from many other teams with a worse production to cap ratio who are getting paid

VGK made the deal for Weber's contract for a reason
It had more value to provide cap relief them paying to dump enough salary to keep Dadanov was worth.
You see this in the NBA all the time and as time goes on you'll see it more and more in the NHL as teams over pay players with term

Thread: too many skilled Left handed wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>You’ve got 13 players signed for next year, with $22.6M in cap space to sign 7 players + resign Miller &amp; Horvat. But sure, it’ll be a breeze. Tough to unload bloated contracts (of which you have a few) but even tougher when most teams up against the cap</div></div>

Cap goes up 1 million next season, and cheap players like Rathbone, Joshua, and dries can fill lower parts of the lineup. Plus re-signing players like Burroughs/Dowling/schenn will be cheap as well. Hoglander can probably be signed to something similar to what Yamamoto signed for last offseason.

So right there is 7 players for probably 6.5-7 million total.

Leaves lots of room for signing bo, miller, and kuzmenko.

Myers will be owed 1 million in salary after his bonus is paid next July, so that will be a relatively easy contract to move. But even if you can’t move Myers, Poolman and Dickinson both have very cheap buyouts and you can easily create space there.

Very doable offseason next year.
