Description
Goals of this team:
1. Be good
2. Save cap room for bonuses/overage next year
3. Allow young D time to develop

In order to accomplish those goals... we are relying on
1a. Healthy and resurgent Toews, healthy Dach, healthy deHaan
1b. Dougie Hamilton being able to produce in a not as good system as the Canes
1c. Lankinen proving to be a long-term option in net.
1d. Sign Shalunov and see if he can do anything.
2a. Play around with in/offseason LTIR. I think I understand the impacts of each... feel free to let me know if I don't. The Hawks have always been against using offseason LTIR, but now with two guys out, they would consider maybe placing one on offseason LTIR if needed.
2b. Move Shaw to offseason LTIR to allow an extra $4m of cap space in the offseason to make moves (sign Hamilton).
2c. Keep Seabrook on the roster throughout the offseason as if his $6.8M is still on the books. Move to LTIR after the season begins to have flexibility and cap space throughout the year to either add at the deadline, or save by any bonuses.
2d. May need to send a waiver eligible guy down before the season starts and then call him back up after day 1 to make the money work, idk.
3a. Signing Hamilton, resigning Zadorov, holding onto de Hann means the blue line is awful crowded.
3b. We also know that it takes young D more time to develop, so why not put Boqvist, Mitchell, Beaudin there where they should've been for the last two years.
3c. There will of course be injuries and if Boqvist, Mitchell, or Beaudin are crushing it in the AHL then they'll play their way back up. If not, let them actually develop for a year in the minors.

I know stashing Boqvist, Beaudin, Mitchell, and even Nylander, Reichel in the minors goes against the youth movement, and Dougie Hamilton may not be the most appropriate use of funds, but I'd be interested in this team. Worst comes to worst, season turns to ****, Collition gets fired, and we have a lot of guys in the final year or two of their deals to ship out at the deadline.

*Note that all guys I have listed on the taxi squad would be in the minors. I just placed them there for display. All guys that could see a midseason callup.
