explain me short where your wanna include 4-5 new players with 5,336 Million rest in Cap with 2 RFA open. So lets say we loose another 2,3 million that opens 3 Million in Cap space.
For Roster
verhaege -Barkoc Tkachuk
duke-lundell-Reinhart
Luosty-bennet-White (arbitration rights)
Cousin-Lomberg - X
Defensman:
Ekblad-X
Forsling-Montour
Mahura(arbitration rights)-Kierstad
So 8 Million for a Top 4 Defensman. okay in that point you are right, that is enough. I oversaw the 5 Million Bonus Dead Cap from Yandle and Darling run out this Season. And that is the only thing i would do, and have cap open. But no excuses for what happend with the small roster.
Horny mostly known, duke was known, the Defensman adding had a great doing. Mahura surprising me. forsling and montour played well together.
24-25 is a complete different thing. Getting raises is something i would get in my mouth, when the Team preform that player with good game, doesnt see a better chance on a different Team.
make it easy, Duke reinhardt, Forsling, montour, lomberg, cousin, will all stay cause we play great and reached PO 3 concistent Years or on the track to that.
When we continue to play like current, and Carolina showed again where we are current. Then dont expect them to stay. All of them wanna play for a Cup and with what they show they get there chances elsewhere.
I wish and hope for this Franchise that player like Gildon Ludvig might take over spots the same way as Montour or Forsling or one of the draft from 22 make the Team till then.
Open Cap space means also new Player possible. but that for 2 Years. But dont guess about raising, when you dont see the right light in the End who attract Players, because the current way of changing show the wrong light.
By the Way from the changing culture point out and stats. the stats from last Season and this Season doesnt look much different. PK% near the same was only 35 better. PP 5% better last Season in, GF in a pace of 30 Goals less then last Year, Goals against in the Pace of 30-40 goals more then last Year.
So the changing i can see in game play(on Ice preformance), results and stats. None of them tells me we have the right one for it, it was a try but thats it.
