I'm aware some of my cap hits may be off but there's plenty of space to fix it if need be.

General Idea is getting skinner, okposo, and risto out to change up the locker room a lot. Maybe could use another veteran signing or two

Buying out Skinners contract is a stupid idea. He can still be a productive player if he’s given proper linemates. Part of the reason he had a crappy season was the idiotic coach stuck him on the fourth line, and then kept him in the press box when he wasn’t scoring. He basically scored all of his goals after Ralph Krueger was fired. Even if he is destined to be bought out, there’s much too much time left on his contract for that to be feasible.

Okposo gets bought out if he does not retire. There’s no point in retaining on him in a trade when you can just get rid of him without giving up other assets. I’m not sure what the plan with Ristolainen is, but I doubt he yields a first round pick in a trade.

I personally just think it would be better to get rid of skinner, yes he can be productive but everytime I watch him he just seems like he's lost his step and I'm not sure if he can get it back. Trading okposo makes more sense I think cause we basically keep the same cap hit over 2 years but we just get a different player (hence changing the locker room a bit).

I think Risto could definitely yield a first round pick especially with an added asset (remember the pick i added is 33rd overall)

There is a major difference between "a 1st round pick" and 12th over all.

If you’re giving up a 33rd overall pick with Risto just to get rid of him, that’s basically a first round pick already.
