Description
Very similar to my last post but implemented some of the feedback I received.

The are three key aspects of this plan, the first being that Seattle acquires Nick Leddy, who has had a resurgent 2021 season, along with a 2nd round pick (from Colorado) as further incentive to pick up his contract. The second key assumption is that Andrew Ladd is not put on LTIR, and his semi-buried cap hit is absorbed. The third is a Hickey buyout.

I originally forgot to add Andy Greene's $2,000,000 Signing Bonus, but it is included in this post. Additionally, I had the Isles signing Greene for a 1 year minimum deal for defensive depth, but opted not to do so this time around. Some contract amounts are slightly changed. I altered the lines to what I believe can realistically be seen at some point in the 2021-2022 season. I think Golyshev and Bellows will be swapping starts in the beginning of the season, and while I'd like to see Bolduc, I don't think too many rookies will be brought up on the blue line at once, so I opted to put Salo. I did not include taxi squad players as all signs point to it being gone next season, so anyone not scratched is on the AHL lineup until called up.

    lineup is realistic, but Im not sure if bellows will be on the team next season. Lou and trotz don't seem high on him. I also don't think beau signs for 3 years at that cap hit. I could definitely see him taking that on a 1 year deal though.

    If Bellows does leave (likely in a package with a player with a bigger contract) to Seattle or any other team for that matter, I think Golyshev can slide in on Pageau's wing. He could also go on the PK in lieu of Bailey.

    Golyshev is a 3rd line winger at worst. Has top 6 upside. There are only 4 U21 players that have scored more than Golyshev in the KHL: Buchnevich, Kaprizov, Tarasenko, and Kuznetsov.

    Yeah he has potential to be a real-deal type player, I personally haven't seen him play so I had trouble putting him over Beau. If Golyshev breaks out and ends up on Nelson's wing I wouldn't be opposed to that at all considering Beau plays well with Pageau and has experience playing with Bailey.

    Yeah Golyshev is a bit of a mystery, He definitely shouldn't be over beau, he has to prove himself. I personally think beau should be on the 1st line with barzal. You wouldn't think it but beauvillier (along with wahlstrom) have been our 2 best defensive wingers this season.
