Thread: trade with columbus plus offer sheet kucherov
C'mon people open you're collective eyes. Columbus is in salary cap trouble, Wennberg will be an RFA next year and Columbus has 65 mil committed to only 15 players for 17-18 season. That will give them about 9mil to spend on 8 roster spots if the cap goes up by 2mil. Wennberg will get a heft raise, leaving them in serious hot water.
The Foligno contract is terrible, he's a one season wonder who cashed in, and is locked in at 5.5mil over the next 5 years. Smith is coming off a 25 goal season and is younger, he may be a one-season wonder too, but he's a solid 3rd line center who makes 1/3 what Foligno does. Sbisa is underrated and still overpaid, but not nearly as bad as Foligno. Or, you know, you can keep paying Foligno 5.5 mil to score 12 goals on the 3rd line.
And for Kucherov, Tampa will be in cap trouble in 17-18, with around 25 mil to spend on 12 roster spots, including Palat, Johnson and Drouin, who should get around 12-16mil between the 3 of them. Depending on what they do with Killorn, Nesterov and Namestnikov this yer, if they want to keep Drouin, Palat and Johnson, they might be happy to get a 1st and 3rd for Kucherov, or risk losing Drouin next year. The offer sheet on Kucherov might just make Drouin a FA next year.

Thread: Offer sheets
Here's how. After signing Stamkos the bolts are still fine for cap space this year, but next year, will have to pay Drouin and Hedman, who are both due for about 3mil raises at least. Drouin is coming off his rookie contract, he can expect the quadruple that. Hedman is only making 4mil this year. If they match on Kucherov at 5mil+, they can kiss one of Drouin or Hedman goodbye next year. My bet is that they want to keep the other two over Kucherov, and will be happy to get the 1st and 3rd for him.

If the blues match on Schwartz, they will have about 7 mil to spend in 17-18 on Parayko coming off a rooke contract (3 million raise?), Shattenkirk looking for a couple mil raise, Bortuzzo, Bergland and Steen all looking for raises. If the cap doesn't go up enough, they could be in trouble.

The canucks have to look at what teams will be in trouble next year this time if they sign big contracts now...

only issue is whether the canucks are allowed to sign two players to offer sheets in the same price range... it seems the rules say the compensation is in the next years draft, and signing both of them would mean losing picks in 17 and 18... that could probably be circumvented somehow

Hmm honestly I like Compher more than Granlund..

Compher is an upgrade on granlund, it's part of the paying for moving up to 5th. Granlund has been playing wing and center
