So if we give Coronato 7% of a 93M cap that’s 6.5M a year. We likely we want him signed up for the full 8 years. You think 500k a year is enough to buy up some UFA years ?
Or do you think they want to play that bridge game again ? Potentially costing us more or even the player.
I feel like Conory watched carefully all the massive gaffes Treliving made and doing it differently. 20M cap space. Trading away pending UFA. Stocking up on draft capital and not trading it away for bums. Singing very short deals for any UFA.
Like I said he won’t just splurge on the RFA players but I don’t think he’s going to penny pinch either.
We also have Zary as well and Wolf. Everyone is praising them and rightfully so for having the team being in the spot they are, so we will have to pay them. 2nd line talent isn’t going to be 3-4M like before.
Cozens is settling in nicely as a 40 point player right now that is a 3rd liner. Add in he stinks defensively, isn’t good at faceoffs, he’s not a guy you target with much assets.

Which is exactly why he should be a target. Big under 25 center has scored nearly thirty. Get him out of that loser organization with some better coaching no reason he shouldnt improve. Would he have the immediate impact peterson would? No. However, cost long term as well as short term, i dont see conroy forking out vans price unless Anderson is involved or one of our other long term contracts is involved. Kadri, sharky or Coleman or huby. Cap implications have to be a consideration. Or we end up being stacked top line without much money for anything else.
I dont see peterson coming here unless one of our long term contracts goes out so im not sure a deal can be had here.
However if you could swing a deal for both?
Anderson/sharky/kadri, basha/battaglia/stromgren + for peterson. Depends on the plus would not want to give up firsts maybe a gridin or suniev instead.
Cozens for Anderson batteglia/ basha or a first instead? Those are the types of prices we would be looking at as i see it
Center depth
Peterson
Kadri
Cozens
Zary
Backs
Kerins
If cozens becomes a middle six top six thats the kind of center depth this team has never had.
Maybe?
