Description

Some scenarios here:
1. Raymond and Berggren dont burn 1y of their ELCs in 21-22, therefore still going on the elc this Season and the next.

2. DRW secures a top 3 pick in 2022 and Selects One elite prospect. I decided to go with Lambert for this One.

3. Tampas cap situation keeps being **** and they decide to trade Sergh in exchange for a future top 2/4 defenceman and some other assets. They cant move Hedman or McD. Edvinsson being on an ELC and getting a bridge after the first 3 years would ease their defences caphit.

Then for the rest
Larkin is a great 2C and hes Home grown. A 7-7.5M AAV for 8y is a good deal for both himself and the team.

Gavrikov is a great top4 DD and would be a perfect partner for Hronek. A top 4 of Sergh, Seider, Hronek and Gavrikov would be great. And then we have Johansson, McIsaac, Viro and Toumisto to come in later on when moves have to be Made bc of the cap etc.

Jones is just a backup, could be anyone on a short term deal really.

The oldest player on this team, Jones excluded, is Erne at 28/29 years old. If This team develops into what it potentially could be, a dynasty could be in the makings.

Looking at all the other teams in the Atlantic as of RN and what state they should be in for the 23/24 Season, I only see Tampa and Florida and maybe Toronto being better. Montreal ****ed up their rebuild, Ottawa dont spend enough, Boston lacks prospects and Buffalo is Buffalo.

The key to keep the roster compact for as long as possible is to hand out bridge deals to all players that have played out their ELCs. This gives Stevie more flexibility.

Additional Details:

Tampa loose out on their young D-man due to their cap situation. In return they get a 1st rounder, a great Young defenceman in Edvinsson and a decent prospect in Grewe.

Yep, the Wings could go that way. But maybe they would get much more value signing a UFA for 9Mm and keeping the 1st rounder and Edvinsson.

Sergachev takes priority over Cernak and Cirelli. He's not going anywhere.

No thanks rather keep Edvinsson over Sergachev. And FYI doesn't matter if Jonatan Berggren burns a year off his ELC as his contract no longer slides due to him being 21 years of age.

Edvinsson was at the top of list with Power but I do like Edvinsson more.

I could see DRW going after Ekholm and One more LHD in 2022 to prevent the other prospects from being put into the league to early. Ekholm is a true number 3 defenceman and would form a great partnership with either Hronek or Seider.
