Imagine trading for dubois instead of buying out kotkaniemi XD

Can't the same argument be made about buying out Dubois?

Why would they buyout KK? That makes no sense. That's probably the biggest issue with this whole thing

I can see PLD pulling a "shift" like his famous one and Brind Amore' being ready to throw down.

With Englund and Moverare on the books, Cole is a luxury the Kings can't afford, and Steen isn't necessary with all of the prospects Los Angeles has. But I like the rest of this. for sure.

no, kotkaniemi buyout is nothing.

because he is bad and would only cost 835k per year to buyout, so you have more cap space fore necas, jarvis and the 2 d-man ??

Don't need to bring back Skjei, that's why they signed Orlov. KK's not bad, he's been BRUTALLY unlucky this year and it's his only bad year in Carolina... he's also only 23 and still has incredible upside?

nah he is bad and you need the money for necas and jarvis and the others

If the season ends before Dubious Birthday his buyout is cheap too

not as much

Nah, he's not bad, and they can pay Necas and Jarvis and the others?

and still have good depth for the playoffs?

Yup!

I dont think so. how much do you think Guentzel, Necas, jarvis and pesce will cost you?

They're not re-signing Pesce, they have Morrow to replace him long term. Guentzel gets 9, bridge Jarvis, give Necas 7... pretty simply done tbh!

what salary is your bridge?

With 35 million in cap, it doesn't really matter, but it shouldn't be more than like 5

definately will be more than 5 for Jarvis. I've made a simulation and after guentzel at 9, necas at 7 and drury at 1,5, there is 13,25 millions left for Jarvis, 3 d-man, and 2 fourth liners. And you need quality because you want the cup. That's pretty tight. ONly to keep a bad fourth line center instead of buying him out.
