Benn is gone, with that signing, that leaves them 8.7M in cap space with Armia and Lehkonen to sign. Fair to assume 5M will go in cap space for those 2, that's not leaving a lot of money for a UFA signing unless they clear cap space
- Symba007

I don't see them signing any UFA's ...

Don't they have 19M right now?

They also have too many fs and ds signed at nhl level. It's the cap total on the 21 to 23 game day that matters

I was going to say : you can remove the 1.3M from Peca, he wont start in the NHL

probably the 900k on Deslaurier too

And probably why they are throwing fishing lines to see right now if there is interest on Shaw

Think it's max $850 or $900k off each deal in the minors

2 year deal for Mike Reilly 1.5 per

Dale Weise at 2.35 also hurts

Weise is a good candidate to go through Waivers/ demoted to the AHL.

So are Peca and Deslauriers.

And Hudon (if he's not shipped elsewhere by then)

really?

Well they need 3 LD. With Benn gone and Alzner in the minors they only had Kulak and Mete.

really?
- fidopro

I see no problem with it.

We need players on the left side and Rielly had good moments last year.

Maybe someone sits him down and teaches him how to play in the defensive zone during the summer. That'd be a big step forward.

my only real memory of my time with dale weise was hearing the announcers get all excited for a breakaway, looking up and seeing it was dale weise, and just going back to what i was doing.

- M. Arachide

still, if they acquire a LD he becomes #7 or #8.
1.5M x 2 to sit upstairs?!?

Well if you go down the depth chart right now at LD:

Mete
KulaK
Reilly
Ouellet
Alzner
Sklenicka

That's why they drafted a poop ton of them last weekend.

Yeah, but you can only knock off about $1M from their contracts, the extras start adding up fast after a while.

I think I read Boston had 23 players score in the playoffs and used just under 40 total players through the year. Depth doesn't matter until it does
