Not that its a huge point of emphasis, but I would think the want to get rid of Fabbri is more than the sharks need to hit the cap floor

zero interest from boston.

Boston may not be the team, but I do think someone will take him for a late pick, wouldn’t even be the worst thing if Aljo isn’t ready and starts halfway through the season

Cossa will be playing next season in Grand Rapids.

Yzerman already mentioned it in his end of season Press conference.

I missed that, thank you for the input

As a flyers fan i think ill consider that deal

I think Flyers have a hard time passing on that deal. The only sticking point I think would be they would rather a higher ranked prospect in value to replace both Willander and Soderblom - but this is pretty good value.

Hawks might actually agree to that if they have a player targeted

I’m sure someone will. It won’t be Boston.

Hitting the floor really isn't that hard. The Sharks are currently at 52.9M with 13 players under contract (plus retained salary/buried contracts/buyout penalties). Let's call Emberson, Thrun, and Bordeleau 1M each, that's 52.5M with 16 players (2G, 6D, 8F). It sounds like there's mutual interest in re-signing Kunin, his QO is 3M, and the team can afford to overpay a bit so let's just say he gets 3M. That's now 55.5M with 3 forward slots to go for the 20-man lineup, 5 more roster spots for a 23-man roster. The floor will probably be around 65M so the team essentially needs to spend 9.5M split between 5 players.

Let's add Macklin to the roster so that's just shy of 1M before factoring in performance bonuses (Bedard and Slafkovsky each ended up getting 3.5M in bonuses but those can't be relied on to hit the floor) so 8.5M in 4 slots. If they sign one free agent to an overpay at 6.2M then even if the other 3 slots are league minimum they reach the floor. If Couture ends up playing then there's 1 fewer roster spot with the same cap situation.
