Thread: two year outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWing9119</b></div><div>There are a few things on here that probably not accurate. For one; the cap is projected to go up 10 million <em>at least</em> over the next two years. So we're talking 94 million not 87. Second; I seriously doubt that Yzerman is going to tie up 17 million dollars for two 32+ year olds. Especially after preaching patience and building the core through the draft. Also, Moose will make more and unless Raymond's season is just insane; he's likely signing a 3 or 4 year bridge.</div></div>

Is that accurate on the cap? I've used this as a general for 25-26 ACGMs based on not much.

I guess you could pass on Stamkos but Hellebuyck seems like a good fit. He still has 7+ years left in him and is a hometown kid. Do you have more optimism in Cossa than I do? What's your solution in net there?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Love Stamkos and Wilson but why sign them in two years? Stammer 35, Wilson 31 and with his brand of hockey likely trending down. Hellebuyck also 32 and for that money? That would be kind of a yikes. I think he wants to go to a winning team now that he is still an elite goalie, not one that might be good in 3 years. You really don't need Stamkos or Wilson cause guys like Rasmussen and Soderblom plus others likely have a bigger roll on the team.</div></div>

I think Stamkos to age 38 at this cap hit is fine. Hellebuyck expires at 38 as well. I think that's fine. I kinda just settled on Roslovic as 2RW, but there's maybe a better option there. Like I said, I hate Yzerman's recent signings because he's tying up too much cap to mediocre when he could be making a better signing than Roslovic.
