COVID Cap Crunch - 2020 Offseason

Boston lands Craig Smith, who is underrated because of his boring name

Pretty good collection of forwards they've got but they really need to upgrade their defence soon. 

Maybe trade Pasta for Josh Manson?
 
Over at PPP, they're talking about whether or not Mikheyev is heading to arbitration.

The suggestion there is that he wouldn't get much more than the $925K he made last year.

My thinking here is that if you're Mikheyev, do you simply say screw it, I'm going back to the KHL to make more dough?  He's 26, so he's only got 4 or so more years to make some bank.

I think the Leafs will probably go 1.25 - 1.5 for 2 years. I have no idea what he's made in the KHL.

I'm a little skeptical that Barrie turned down $6m.

I'm not.  He comes from a rich family so maybe money isn't as much of a concern.  Or maybe the term is what threw him off.  He may be banking on himself here and thinking if he racks up points on the Oilers pp that he'll make more in the long run.

I wonder if that meant $6mil over 2 years.
Or it was 6 mill from the Devils or another crappy team. He's going to go where he can produce the most and Edmonton looks like a great fit for him.

6M AAV is favoured by a certain GM

Oops. Vancouver loses Stetcher to Detroit
 
So Vancouver's lost Markstrom, Tanev, Stretcher, and likely Toffoli to free agency and so far only signed Holtby (a massive downgrade from Markstrom).

I get the Markstrom and Tanev contracts might not have been the smartest ones to sign, and there's still a number of appealing forwards to sign if they wanted to get into that, but those are some key parts of their team.

This one always seemed like a reach since you figured he'd go somewhere he had a connection to and that didn't exist in Toronto (Jarmo's apparently known him since he was a kid).

Maybe they're going all in on Petro? Petterrson and Hughes are up next year so they need room to sign them. I wouldn't have given Tanev 4.5 mill. Stecher is a 3rd pair guy. Who knows, they could have an internal cap? Benning has a bit of a mess on his hands but they still have a good group up front.

Leafs offered 3 years 1.something AAV and Clifford said no thanks
So o say thank you for saving us from a mistake
