Beautiful day today all.
10 mil in cap space to add 9 roster players. Even if they buyout Campbell and that turns into 13 mil to add 10 players, they will have very little cap room and half their depth players who actually carried them at spots this playoffs are going to walk.
No picks this year plus they've already even traded away 3/5 top picks in the 2025 draft and their prospect cupboard is almost completely empty.
Definitely feel like they will still be decent but that they took their biggest shot this year and missed
I just hope Draisaitl either walks or gets fair value on his contract. Surely someone like San Jose is going to give him the full 17.6 mil x 7 on the open market if he waits and I really hope the union makes sure that he doesn't take some kind of stupid discount in the afterglow of their cup finals flop.
I don't even mind if he re-signs there, he's turning 29 in a couple months and is headed into the back 9 of his career with a lot of city miles on him playing more than 20 minutes a night, guy isn't going to be able to walk when he's 45, locking him up for 15 million a season x 8 taking him to 37 years old locks them in cap hell for a loong time.
