Isles get Ebs

[TheScorpion]

Let's try posting this in the right forum this time...

We have acquired Jordan Eberle from New Jersey in exchange for Alex Galchenyuk, Thomas Hickey, and a second-rounder in 2022.

With this deal, I am proud to announce that our team's total cap hit for 2020-21 has fallen to below $70 million, putting us well within striking distance of being cap compliant.

Eric Staal: $9.99 million
Alex Pietrangelo: $9 million
Phil Kessel: $7 million
Dustin Brown: $6.66 million
Semyon Varlamov: $5.75 million
Jordan Eberle: $5.5 million
Antti Raanta: $5.25 million
Michael Grabner: $5.25 million
Justin Williams: $3.5 million
Nick Leddy: $3.25 million
Corey Perry: $2.5 million
Cal Clutterbuck: $2.2 million
Derek Ryan: $1.72 million
Trevor Moore: $1.25 million
Brian Boyle: $1.21 million
Andrej Sekera: $0.75 million
Jonathan Ericsson: $0.62 million
Louis Domingue: $0.59 million
Matt Martin: $0.5 million

Total: $67.24 million

RFAs to sign: Brock McGinn, Sven Baertschi, Drake Caggiula, Micheal Ferland, Patrik Nemeth, Nikita Zaitsev, Matthew Peca, Tobias Rieder

UFAs to sign: Pavel Francouz, Justin Schultz, Brad Hunt

Thanks to everyone for the trade talks so far this offseason, looking forward to more!

Wrong forum, this is a very minor trade

[simmer2]

You are cap compliant even with all the Cheese you have to send?!

That's impressive, you were not in a good spot!

We're about $6-7 million over. But that includes Williams, who is likely to retire, and the only really overpaid contract I have for this year is Grabner. More than optimistic at this point.

Took some work but I think I have a real solid team, especially with Varlamov/Raanta in goal and Pietrangelo leading the charge on defense.

Don’t forget about the 10+ AHLers you will need to buy out. So much for roster limits.

[TheScorpion]

Heh, I have a plan there, too.

Still not entirely sure why I signed Greg McKegg, though.
