nah you see, we had to leave cap in case of a mythical offer sheet for Byram or something

Skinner is 4.44mil, idk how they are mathing but there's 7.39mil in cap space before Timmins deal gets done. Idk what the 10million number is or how accounting for skinner puts you at 8. You still have to pay Jeff Skinner whether you're a serious or crappy owner. around 5.5-6mil will be left after Timmins is signed, that's accurate.

Yikes, I'll pass

No, but I am not running to the NHL to make the trade call. It has merit but it isn't some make or break decision. Also if you assume Norris and Greenway will be injured, you should assume Chinakov will be injured.

Also @dudacek I'm very much on record as saying we need a 17% goals against reduction more than anything else. We lost about 50ish goals but brought in around 40.

Doan has 12g in his last 62. That's 16g in 83 games. Is Chinakov better defensively than Doan? You can trade for him but who are you moving out?

You can only roster 23 players though. This has 14 forwards and doesn't include Kozak.

Quinn, Rosen, Strbak

I suppose Joshua is better than Greenway but they like Greenway's leadership. They already added Danforth which could also be Joshua role. I could be convinced Joshua might be better but idk by now much.

We have more than one guy. Who are you subtracting from the roster to add Joshua? Anytime a player gets moved that you think is "tough" you do this. I didn't mention Doan because we only need guy, I mentioned Doan because you get Joshua that's Doans spot in lineup. I don't think Doans his dad, what a silly statement. See, Wookie gets it. Where does Joshua play, who's he better than? Quinn? Doan? Greenway?

We already added a younger version of him, Doan. I don't see much value in adding Joshua at this point unless you're able to move Greenway out, which I doubt they can.

I don't remember how they ran lines in Winnipeg. That team also had Geekie.

Idk maybe. I don't know chinakov at all.

No idea if he could play nhl C.

Has he? Yes, he played limited centre minutes in Jr's. Fairly certain in his draft year he got some time at centre but, Benson is a winger. This lineup doesn't make sense.

No idea what this means

Giving up 20yr old Benson, a guy with elite defensive metrics for a 24yr old with worse defense, who can't stay healthy is a terrible idea. I long for the day when I don't have to defend Benson. That day is rapidly approaching.

I wonder what he costs. Would be nice to be on the good side of a "guy wants out" trade.

Trading Zach Benson is stupid.

Reminds me of the Cozens trade where ppl were talking about him being a physical 2way forward

The new cba kicks in for 2026. He's gonna play 1 more CHL season and then he can go to the AHL.

How did this get 2 pages? He's an AHL plug.
