Luongo + Ballard + Booth = 15M off the books


A buyout here, a trade there.

Good signing, now we just need to move Luongo + Ballard

And, sadly, Booth.

To be honest, I like Booth. Plays hard and does the right thing by driving hard to the net... has like no puck luck.

I like Booth too, but he's not a good fit.
Picking up Roy would be really good for Booth. But he's hurt.
And I don't think we're resigning Roy unless he can really step up for us.

I don't know if I'd drop Booth this early. But if he can become a part of a trade with Luongo (maybe Ballard?) just anybody to dump some of this cap space that's being destroyed.

booth is a great player, he lost a lot after richards blindsided him, but i think with the right support cast he cna reach 20 again

But he's still being paid pre-Richards-hit money

Don't know if many teams can take on that much at once lol.




IMO it doesn't really help playing with a shoot first center like Kesler who doesn't exactly have the vision/play-making ability to mesh with a power-forward like Booth.

Who the hell would take that much cap hit? Haha... Maybe islanders to hit the cap floor.
