Description

This team is significantly better and tougher to play against than this years team while they were even winning:
+ Vrana's dead space / Myers and Perron's contracts are off the books when new Mo, EP and Ray's new contract hits the cap
+ Husso could be traded down the road to get picks/prospects/cap space back
+ Wings have $55M only tied up in 24-25
+ Unlike many, I actually like Chariot and what he can bring to the team so he stays... for now
+ Veleno gets a shot at 3C with his buddy Berger flanking him
+ Good depth 4C signing to round out the playoff style hockey needed for this lineup to be better
+ Perron, Accari, Maata become assets you could flip with minor changes
