we will get a big fish for sure....mcdavid may be a pipe dream... but i don't think he goes back to edmonton...the money can be there and we just have to convince him that we got the best team out of his options.zamadoo wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025 17:27 pmWell whatever you did, your roster isn't loading.clemonsonroots wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025 17:00 pmI hit publish...the numbers are correct. and even if mcdavid doesn't make it to market, a big name will and we will be there with the cap space to bring in. I think McDavid will make it to market...they haven't done [shirt]. Still running skinner back out there.zamadoo wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025 16:57 pmThis link says "unable to find roster" - you probably need to publish.clemonsonroots wrote: ↑03 Jul 2025 16:48 pm This is puckpedia done correctly for next season...it leaves us with 5 mil in capspace plus the 6.5 mil from krug- so 11.5 million in capspace for one spot on the roster. So, we can go out and get someone at that amount- still a star player or trade/waive Faulk and promote from within with kessel, lindstein jiricek burns and fischer battling it out for 3rd pairing. We absolutely will be signing a stud.

Here is a correct roster that is published, with Faulk traded away: https://puckgm.puckpedia.com/rosters/802440
So yeah, roughly $8-9M in cap space, and then after the season starts we can go over by Krug's $6.5M.
There are 3 top centers that are projected to be UFAs next offseason: McCavid, Eichel, Necas.
McD will be $14M+ and possibly extended in EDM
Eichel will be $12M+ and possibly extended in Vegas
Necas I'm not so sure of, somewhere $8M+ and probably closer to 10 (depending on his season), and will likely be extended in COL
I'm saying it's possible but extremely unlikely.
I've listed the big name (good) centers that will be UFAs next offseason. Kaprizov and Connor are wingers that I'd love to sign. Maybe Kempe. Not really seeing anyone else other than a few RFAs. Maybe a trade?
The big move will be next season. 2025 and 2026 rosters and salary

That would be hilarious if McDavid came here and won a cup with Holloway and Broberg.

Sounds wonderful...I will be shocked if he re-ups in Edmonton with their offseason and no goalie change. It is pretty great the Olympics are this coming season as we will be sending at least three to team Canada- maybe 4 if Kyrou makes it though I doubt it. I'll be cheering for Canada to win it backed by Binny.

That's cool-I will be backing the U.S. since that is where I am from and who I served in the Army for.clemonsonroots wrote: ↑04 Jul 2025 02:01 amSounds wonderful...I will be shocked if he re-ups in Edmonton with their offseason and no goalie change.
