Cannot go after both Fournier and SF (maybe can't even go after just Fournier) if we keep Ryno's caphold. So I think Dell's first order of business is to sort out Ryno. Then he will move on to other free agents.


I'm not following. The team has roughly $21 million in cap space without Ryno's cap hold, about $9 with the cap hold in place. Let's say you renounce Ryno's rights and sign Fournier and a SF for $15 million. You now have $6 million in cap space left for Ryno.

Sounds like he thinks that the deals have to be done at two separate times, rather than fluid. The Pels will hold onto Ryno's cap hold until they need the money for another move, IMO. They don't have to renounce it immediately.

And $6M in capspace is not enough to sign Ryno. We can sign Ryno and someone in the $10-12M range or we can sign someone in the $15M range (I think this is Fournier's range) and someone in the $8-9M range.

I think we will have $22-25M in space. Basically we can sign Ryno + SF/SG or Fournier + SF, but we can't do Ryno + Fournier (or any other $15M guy). So first order of business for Dell is to see if Ryno will resign here.
