Description

In two years they have one bad contract left with term in OEL.

It's not that expensive to get rid of a one year contract for a guy like Myers. Maybe a second. Maybe they eat it. Poolman is no stud but it's a pretty meh issue having him on the third pair for 2.5 mil.

Look at this team. Cap is fine. Has a 1c (and a 2c they can choose to resign). Some good wings. A #1d and a starting g.

Can be an easy 1.5 year retool

i think they could get Manson in free agency. he'd be a perfect fit for hughes

I agree overall

Retool >>> rebuild for them

I'm a bit lower on the poolman situation as he's 3x league minimum not overly young either, but thanks especially to burying, not too terrible

They just really need a Moritz Seider type RD and it’s so hard to get him unless it’s top 10 in the draft

With the depth of the draft this year I wonder if someone might drop lundell style but heck at 5th overall right now maybe just nemec / jiricek
