having Laba and Gabe in the organization already definitely will raise the overall optimism

As per Daily Faceoff:

College players and teams have the option to sign “future contracts” which will take effect at the commencement of the next league year or a “current contract” that is effective immediately. A current contract will use up, or “burn,” the first year of the player’s entry-level deal, even if the player plays in just a single game that season.

A player doesn’t accrue a completed season for the purposes of free agency, salary arbitration eligibility or expansion protection until he has played 10 games in a season, but for the purpose of burning a year of the ELC, one game is all it takes.

So, I'd say, see you in Rookie Camp.

Caps signed Jakob Chychrun to an 8-year, $72 million contract extension.

Those who wanted Chychrun can now scratch him off the list.

Excited to see what he can do, yes, hopefully he can be a solid second line player.

No one else really moves the needle.

There already has been lots of change. It hasnt proved to improve the team.

Wow, Im shocked he resigned since Ovi is likely playing his last NHL season next year. However 9m a year is probably more than most teams might have paid.

I think lots of deals are going to look expensive this summer with the cap jumping so much. $9M on next year's cap is the same as about $7.9M on this year's. by the time the cap reaches the projections of $113.5M in 2027-28 that deal will be the equivalent of just under $7M/per.

I hope it's still the case that its going up as much as they had said, Ive seen some talk about the tariff Canada thing (frank)ing it all up

It'll be an interesting wrinkle for sure. Teams spending big this summer could potentially get (frank)ed down the line.

I also read that some teams, they sited possibly Colorado and Carolina, that have owners on the more frugal side will not spend to the cap, simply because it's gone up.

He was never going to be available. Would’ve been malpractice by the caps to let him go

2 teams that really dont need to because they're playoff teams, and can slow play it and see how it goes.

I figured Chychrun wouldnt want to stay in Washington.

Well, that's up for debate. With the rising cap numbers, Colorado could've signed Raantinen, but choose not to. Then, Carolina lost him for peanuts because they wouldn't meet market value.
