I think the best bet in general when capgeeking/rosterbaiting is to generall avoid dealing with guys who will spend 90% of the year in Hershey, gotta figure that if there is more than 100k in cap space a competent GM can work the magic needed on a recall.<br /><br />Anyway I'd go with 1.2.2:<br /><br />Keep BL21 he can play 3C/4C. Getting Grabbo should cost 5.5-ish. Does mean I probably can't bid for Niskannen or Stralman (both of those guys are probably headed for Mike Green or near Greener money) but there are some depth D worth the money I still have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541071778404908206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311322768897042390.post-37959994848234748332014-06-09T16:19:52.370-04:002014-06-09T16:19:52.370-04:00It's completely possible that I made a mistake...It's completely possible that I made a mistake. I may have simply added a 0 to the re-sign price, changing 500,000 to 5,000,000 on accident, or something like that. The aim for this activity is really just to see how you would respond as a GM to a certain situation. If I had kept names out of this, we wouldn't have this problem. I see your points, however, and try will try to rectify them in the future posts.

As for the other signings, I'm assuming players like Nate Schmidt and Michael Latta, who are probably going to get some big league playing time, will want some type of raise, along with players like Leggio and Schilling etc. Using the armchair GM, I ended up with 4.5 mil before Laich.RYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898456425867864005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311322768897042390.post-78674320307902799292014-06-09T14:25:05.922-04:002014-06-09T14:25:05.922-04:00Just curious about the cap numbers.

Second right now the Caps have in the neighborhood of 12-15mil in space (depeneding on the final cap number) and the only two UFA/RFA contracts that belonged to the big club are Grabovski and Penner. The later sure ain't coming back so there should be 12-15mil AFTER all required Signings other than Grabbo and before the decision to compliance Laich or not.
