Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The $$ would be difficult to make this all work, but I think this would be a fantastic lineup.

Resign Krejci, Hall, Carlo, Frederic, and Rask. We run with the young goalies and sign a vet like Craig Smith as a 3rd option on the taxi squad.

Bruins protect McAvoy, Carlo, Grizz, Bergeron, Marchand, Pasta, Coyle, Debrusk, Smith, Frederic, and Vladar.

- Bruins add a 6th for Seattle to push them towards Ritchie instead of Lauzon. Ritchie won't keep up his scoring from this year and can be replaced, but could be worth the risk for Seattle.

- Reilly would be a great fit but we also need a big body. Cole has proven to be a great veteran with size and would pair well with Carlo on the penalty kill. He also can swap with Grizz easily if we want to keep the Grizz/McAvoy pairing, but I think Grizz keeps getting hurt playing 20-22 minutes. I'm hoping we can get Cole around $3.5 mil but he typically hangs around $4.

- Hyman would be a great add. He would add some tenacity to that 2nd line and Craig Smith can help boost the 3rd line that struggled in the playoffs. Hyman might be too expensive for the Bruins though.
