It’s almost 5AM and I’m glued to Armchair GM on CapFriendly. This forward core doesn’t feel right just yet. Tulsky isn’t done cooking.

    1. Please disregard the 24 players, im sure one of them would be waived here to get us to limit.

    2. I tried to ballpark contract estimates for Drury, Jarvis, and Roslovic, these should not be the talking points here

    In a league where a team cannot have too many centers, we have too many centers.

    Something has to move here, even if you want to bring Necas back, which I think is pretty unlikely. And almost all reports saying we’d require some kind of NHL caliber player back, so we’d have to clear cap space and a roster spot on that front too.

    My notes:

    1. Keep an eye and ear out on KK and/or Drury. Aho, Staal, and Kuzy are locks, and Suzuki can just be waived without too much regard.

    2. We’ve heard next to nothing on Fast’s injury status, but considering he was in a neck brace on May 23, it’s fair to wonder what his status is for the training camp and the start of the season. Roslovic slides in easly as a replacement for him, but that still leaves a spot open on the right wing, unless one considers a rookiee or Lemieux stepping into that role.

    I don’t see a Necas on this list, he is still under contract with us this year

  4. The number one struggle within the analytics community is undervaluing primary point production given how it doesn’t perform well in models due to high variance given low sample sizes (oh my god this got super wordy)

    Um my point all told:

    Tulsky may be undervaluing Sprong who is the overwhelmingly obvious fit for this roster, with lots of substance but lacking depth scoring

    So I hope, especially as days go by

    That he gets in gear

    Unfortunately cap friendly goes down today. Im going to have to get used to puckpedia, unless there’s something else out there?

    “Doesn’t feel right”? Ya think? We signed 5 or 6 bottom 6/bench player (on some teams) forwards to play productive minutes. Our only hope for this season is if the Necas trade brings back a LEGITIMATE top 6 guy for our 2nd line but it probably won’t bc A) we overvalued him and B) we have no leverage in negotiations.

    Not trying to sound like a downer but just being objective.

    Who is left to get? You can be a great chef but ya need ingredients

    Any recipe that includes Kuznetsov and KK in the top six is a recipe for the draft lottery. So much offense walked out, it hasn’t come close to being replaced.

    Imagine one of Svech, Aho or Jarvis getting hurt. All your offense is just gone.

    The Canes won’t pick top-10 and this roster isn’t fully cooked yet. But that image roster under a mid-level coach is picking top-10 in the Draft.

    There has to be at least a trade or two coming, just look at all those centers. Roslovic is a righty so I don’t think they want him on the wing.

    A trade of KK, Kuznetsov, as well as potentially Necas could all be incoming. Then the cap space could be used to sign more guys such as a Daniel Sprong which I wouldn’t be opposed to
