Description
Cap space isn't perfect, but that can be worked around I believe, maybe buy out Okposo and bring him back on a cheap deal. Maybe trade McCabe...

Additional Details:
Extension in place for Brodin- 5@6.5, 2,000,000 retained on Dub
MIN
  1. Mittelstadt, Casey [RFA Rights]
  2. Samuelsson, Mattias
Additional Details:
Fair value for 2 expiring UFA's in one year. Hate to get rid of these two as a Sabres fan, but Brodin will help both Dahlin and Joki's development, which is crucial at this point. Mitts can still be a top 6 center and Samuelsson I am very high on, but the Sabres have Bryson and Johnson coming up and will be NHL ready in one more year

U can’t buy a player out & bring him back on a cheaper deal
Even in Okposo was bought out & we replaced that lineup spot with a league minimum player, we are still over the the Cap
Buying him out only saves us 2mil,
minus the Cap hit of who replaces him

Plus u have no 13th forward or 7th defenseman figured in

Even if we get a CBO for Okposo,
we still wouldn’t be under the Cap when u add 3 more players & figure in the bonuses from this season

Your signings seem fairly realistic (Larsson a little overpaid),
so (in addition to Okposo getting a CBO)...
think you’d either have to trade M.Johansson, or replace either Stastny or Dubnykwith a cheaper option

Really bad Vegas trade, overpay for two UFAs who probably walk.

As a Buffalo fan, I would have done both deals, although I’m not sure that Minnesota would do this, Brodin is in many respects one of the best defenders of the league.
