If engvall does actually go down, they could bury 1.15m but they’d carry the 1.85m remainder of the cap hit.
It’s actually 150,000 more in savings than if you sent Wahlstrom down, although you could bury all 1m of his hit.
Interesting times.
7 years for a guy who is a borderline nhler
I mean it wouldn’t shock me. Roy has been fairly outspoken on his defensive game. I feel slightly bad for Engvall from a fan perspective because his loping skating style makes it look like he’s lazy when he really isn’t, but coaches see more than that.
Probably leaves you with one right hand shot on a LW though.
But why not send down Wally instead? Weren’t we trying to get faster this year?
Bad for the cap but good for the culture as it shows that long-term contracts don’t guarantee you a roster spot.
