    Default You advice for the next year please

    Hi Everybody,

    I'm in a point only and salary cap league.
    12 teams
    Each team need to have a minimum of 19 players and a maximum of 25 players

    The best 12 forwards count
    The best 5 defenses count
    The best 2 goalies count

    Forward and defense: Goal = 1 point, Pass = 1 point, hat trick = 1 point bonus
    Goalie: Win = 2 points Shutout = 4 points

    Each season we have to drop 2 players so for the salary cap, I think to drop Kopitar and Murray. What do you think about that?
    And what do you think for the next year?

    Taylor Hall
    Gabriel Landeskog
    Matt Duchene
    Anze Kopitar (DROP?)
    Jonathan Huberdeau
    Evgeny Kuznetsov
    Sam Bennet
    Nikolaj Ehlers
    Dylan Larkin
    Teuvo Teravainen
    Jonathan Drouin
    Ryan Strome
    Valeri Nichushkin
    Pavel Buchnevich
    Elias Lindholm
    Jaden Schwartz
    Nathan Mackinnon
    Tyson Jost

    Ryan Murray (DROP?)
    Oliver Ekman-Larsson
    Seth Jones
    Morgan Rielly
    Jacob Trouba

    Jonathan Quick
    Jake Allen

    Whit my two draft pick, I will add a Defense (for the minimum) and maybe a goalie.

    Hey fella, I'm a little confused. You have to drop 2 players in order to get under your salary cap? What is your cap?

    Without knowing, I agree Murray is an easy drop in all cases. Should be easy to replace.
    I'm not keen on droping KOPI unless it's absolutely necessary.
    Are you allowed to keep Nichushkin with him playing over seas? Does he hold value for you? I prefer Kopitar over Nich.
    I think for me Teravainen would also be a drop before Kopitar. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this component.

    You only have 4 D left after dropping Murray so can you actually drop Murray if you have to keep 5D?
    Your goalies are easy...keep the ones you have.
    As for the 12 best forwards, I'd target the following.

    Taylor Hall
    Gabriel Landeskog
    Matt Duchene
    Anze Kopitar (!KEEP!)
    Jonathan Huberdeau
    Evgeny Kuznetsov
    Sam Bennet
    Nikolaj Ehlers
    Jonathan Drouin
    Pavel Buchnevich
    Elias Lindholm
    Nathan Mackinnon
    Tyson Jost

    Then it's a flip between keeping a prospect in Jost or flipping a coin on Buchnevich and Lindholm for me (I'm leaning toward keeping Buch if you don't keep Jost)

    I would look at dropping Duchene, I too think Kopi is a keep for you. That being said, it depends on what kind of salaries you're counting. Is it AAV or their actual salary per year. With Kopi's being front loaded and very expensive right now, I could see him being the drop if that's the case.

    R. Murray for sure though.

    Hi!
    It's the annual salary so Kopitar cost is 13 000 000$ next year.

    I'm already on the top of my salary cap for the next season (NOW) and some of this players will have new contract.
    Kuznetsov, Teravainen, Drouin, Jost...

    That's why I tough to drop Kopitar whit is 13 millions salary

    The salary cap for next year is about 95-96 millions
    Rigth now I have 93 millions of salary for next year without the contract of Drouin, Teraavainen, Kuznetsov and Jost

    For the defense, I have to drop 2 players but I have 2 pick in the next draft so I will pick a defenseman and a goalie...I think

    Kuznetsov's contract is the one that will bite the most, but not as bad as if he had put together a full season. Drouin, I'd expect to sign a bridge deal 2yr 4-5m?? my guess... Jost - max entry level deal so if bonus' are included could be 3+m. Can you trade Kopitar? That would be my initial desire - get something in return for him.

    I would keep Buch over Lindholm, Lind has decent upside, but Buchevich could turn into a beast for you

    I don't understand holding Nich at all

    I tried to trade Kopitar but no one want him because of his salary.
    I will keep Lindholm and Buchnevich.
    I keep Nichushkin because it cost me nothing but I think he will be drop sooner than later

    he is costing you the value of a roster spot.
