Thread: Ill play
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CamdenHamilton</b></div><div>Yes you would. Especially with this front office. Marner and his daddy dont hold the cards anymore.

Thanks for asking

All Teams with over 20 M in cap space</div></div>

Might want to check those numbers again. Only
Utah 12
San Jose 15
Anaheim 18
Chicago 15
Detroit 16
Carolina 17
La 12
Vancouver 17
Seattle 15
Boston 17
New Jersey 15
Buffalo 17
Columbus 18
Are the only teams that have over 20 million cap space. The number beside it is their roster that is signed so they are gonna have to fill it. Carolina will probably reup on Genzy, la will use a lot of that cap on byfield. Utah, Anaheim Chicago and San Jose will probably keep rebuilding. Buffalo has to sign powers and will probably keep rebuild. I can see Detroit as a potential trade partner but they won’t come off any of their top players. The simple truth is not many teams will be in on marner. I can see a handful that marner would waive too and if you put him in the press box like you ridiculously said then I’m sure marner will happily take free money

Thread: Stamkos plus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>Thats very true, but in that case, would the additions of Stamkos and Batherson not be enough for that? With Evangelista playing with higher quality linemates I imagine his scoring touch will start to come out. You could also put Tomasino on that line instead and move Nyquist down to play with Novak to have both Tomasino and Evangelista playing in the top 6. It’s more just a thought on saving money in order to do something about the right side because after McDonagh it looks, less than ideal. I'd personally rather use that to go sign another RD, especially if we are moving on from both Carrier and Fabbro.</div></div>
I would be good with that giving 2 of our ypung players top line minutes with top players and maybe sign zadarov instead march to make our defense better

Thread: Stamkos plus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>100% agree with that. Save the extra money and retain Fabbro and run him in the top 4. I also don't think Molendyk makes the team immediately. I could be wrong, but I think Ufko has a higher change of making the team day one compared to Molendyk.

Lines look more like

Forberg - ROR - Nyquist
Batherson - Stamkos - Evangelista
L'Herueux - Novak - Tomasino
Smith - Parssinen- SIssons

Josi - Ufko
McD - Fabbro
Statsney - Schenn/Lauzon

My only big concern is with that Stamkos contract, that is a lot of term and money to be giving someone in their mid 30's. Yeah, it is Stamkos, and he could pull a Crosby and deny the affects of age for the next 4 years, and if that happens, then great. But I'd be hesitant to give him that term especially when we have Svechkov waiting in MKE and looking pretty good for his first season in NA. Not to mention we would then have Fabbro, Evangelista, and Askarov to sign the next season. Maybe more like 6.5-7M if we are giving that much term, but I'd rather see Stamkos signed to a 2-3 year deal at 8M if we are giving him that much money.</div></div>

I went with molendyk because I believe if given the opportunity he would flourish in burnettes system. I agree we could save money by not signing march but I’m so sick of every year saying we need secondary scoring. I believe this solves that. Actually gives us 2 pretty good top lines
