Aitchmack Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 After several seasons of hearing "weaponizing cap space" and nothing much coming of it, I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but surely Fitz has to pull the trigger on a significant signing before the new season.

For the record, we still have the following players of note to make decisions on: UFA: Murray Carrick Tennyson Dell RFA: Sharangovich Kuokkanen Merkley Bastian If you paid everyone on that list $4m,l (which would be $3m to much in some cases), we’d still not be at the floor. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) I just went through the lists to see if I could figure out who I would pick. The answer was too many centers and left wings, barely any right wings. But there are a ton of good options, they will have a very competitive team.

Well TB and VGK couldn't afford to pay him his current salary and Toronto could, but only just, and that's not even taking into account any players they have to re-sign. I suspect he may not be getting what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunninWithTheDevil Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Can someone smarter than me explain how the Yotes/Isles trade works? It doesn't say "future considerations" it literally says the Islanders are getting nothing in return for dumping their cap on AZ. Is this legal?

To be fair, that's 6 out of 31 teams, or almost 20% of the league. And the common denominator among that list is that all of those teams are competitive and win-now mode. For a guy like Landeskog who doesn't have a Cup to his name, and has come close recently but not won, it doesn't surprise me that that would be his list.

Let’s also remember that 1) that statement isn’t coming from him, and 2) just because he is interested in them doesn’t mean that they are interested in him. I don’t know the author, but it could be a complete clickbait waste of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
