Must drop to 90 Million$, I'm at 96 M$, help!

[Drakkar]

I'm in a keeper's league with 9 other teams, and I'm busting my salary cap right now. I need to drop big salaries soon, and would like your help. The salary cap is $90 Million. I'm at 96.5 M$.

My team is "Team Alain", at the bottom of the page. I was thinking of dropping Hemsky and Peverley for now, and waiting near (or at the draft) for dropping either Cammalleri or Roy.

Thanks all! This is a point-only league. Defensemen are worth 50% more, so 40 pts for a defensemen is equal to 60 pts for a forward.

I like my goalies by the way, so I wont drop them now.

(Team Robert has won 3 of the last 5 years, bastard)

I'd drop Cammy and Gerbe. Gets you right to the $90 million mark. I think Cammy will struggle with a bad Flames team.

The quickest evaluator in salary pools is to ask whether a player can get 10pts per Million of salary.

Marleau makes $6.9m, can he score 69pts?
Cammy makes $6m, can he score 60pts?
Peverley makes $3.25m, can he score 32.5pts?

You also have to consider:
1) Who will be available in the redraft?
2) How much money will you have to spend on how many players?

If you have 3 spots to fill in a redraft... how much money do you need available to maximize your draft value?
$3m? 6m? 9m?

There is a lot more planning in this, I believe, than simply getting to $90m.

But... only looking at getting to $90m... I would suggest the following:
1) Cut Cammalleri & Gerbe

Oh, I know, I have to drop actually to around ~ $82m if I want to draft three $2-3m players.

I'm being offered Tyler Seguin and Jeff Carter for Kopitar and Luongo. Since my goalie position is pretty good (top 2 count) I'm really liking the offer...
