I don't disagree but paying 16 million for one side of your defense and needing to fill the other half through free agency is an awful idea.

They're in trouble no matter what happens, if they can get any sort of top-4 defenceman for Duchene they should take it. They can always ship Johnson or Barrie out to balance things. They need a complete gutting. MacKinnon, Rantanen, Jost and Barrie are the only guys worth keeping for the long haul.

I agree but nothing points to the Avs wanting to do a total tear down.

He's lucky to be alive tbh, his drug issues are by no means recent or slight. He's been given a ton of chances for sure. I hope he turns it around for good. I'm sure it was fun to get coked up and win cups and fights earlier in his life but come on dude you're in your 50s now. ThinkTank posted:If the stars align Sprong will have a handful of 40 point seasons in his career. That's if everything goes right. He's a good but not amazing prospect. If you can get a legitimate top line forward for him, you make that move in a second. Duchene had just completed a 67 point NHL season at the age Sprong is now. Yeah I like the way he's trending but Duchene is a good NHL forward now who is much better than Bonino. Our center depth would be pretty studly with him. There is the issue of finding pkers/d-zone draw type guys in the event you pick up a Duchene. You don't want to have to force feed Crosby all the tough d-zone starts and obviously Malkin/Duchene you're gonna want deployed more offensively. Old Man Cullen please step right up and take 80% d-zone starts again thank you.

When you're about to pay your young players so much you even need 1/3 of Benoit Pouliot's salary back.

The Oilers don't actually have a cap problem this year though. They should have waited another year to do this, unless they suddenly need the money now. So who are the Oilers about to overpay on July 1st?

it's weird because 2 years from now their UFAs they can get rid of by then are fayne, the korpedo's buyout, letestu, and maroon. their core group for better or worse is all out into the 2020s. i think they should have just buried him to get actual relief in 2019 and 2020

Injured players can't be bought out without their consent. If Pouliot happened to be injured during next year's buyout period and didn't consent to a buyout, the Oilers would be screwed - better to do it now, just in case.

Look Around You posted:I don't think you can buyout mid season. You can't buyout during the season, but this make some sense. Cap space is cumulative, so rather than spending to the cap now Chia is giving himself a bit of freedom to make a move at the deadline. $2M today can mean adding $6ish of salary at the deadline. That's a good player as opposed to a depth guy.

keeps being rumored that Vladimir Tkachev is at least going to attend Rangers training camp...he bought out his KHL contract and was supposed to be at the prospect camp they're having now but had visa issues. Could be interesting, very skilled and still young, put up good numbers in the KHL last season. Pretty slight though. Also a winger, don't know how that would pan out when teh Rangers need centers unless there are more moves to be made this summer
