They also re-signed Jan Rutta for two years at $1.3 million AAV.

Decent contract IMO. How are they going to get Cirelli and Sergachev locked up is going to be interesting,

The kucherov injury definitely works out for them though.

Jeez. How did I completely forget about that.

If Kucherov doesn’t go on LTIR I have no idea how they are going to get Cirelli signed. They’re already currently at almost 88m on their cap.

Kucherov on LTIR gives them some room for this year, but for 21/22 they've got 79.5 committed to only 15 players, still without Cirelli. How many firsts do they give Seattle to take Tyler Johnson? or Ryan Mcdonagh?
