Description

Let's take Steve at face value with what he said today.

DET still needs to add on salary to hit the cap floor (~6.1M), so signing players isn't out of the question, nor is trading for contracts (especially if they are taking on salary and being paid with picks). Tried to keep Steve at his word though with my moves.

Also, expect a major overhaul of GR next year. With Watson in, and Simon gone, I suspect Cossa will be his starting G, and a lot of kids will be paying (Simon played more vets and AHL only contracts than kids last year, but GR was pretty bad).
