Description
I'm guessing the salary cap will go up around $2 million again, so I put it at $77 million.
I think having Frans Nielsen and signing former teammates like Thomas Vanek and Chad Johnson could be a major draw for Tavares to Detroit. Plus, Detroit is close to home (Toronto) for him and the money is better in the US because of the taxes and cost of living.
Trading Abdelkader to Vegas is a salary dump, but he would be an upgrade in their bottom 9 forward group. Plus, Detroit could easily absorb Clarkson's contract by placing him or LTIR.
I think Toronto could use a guy like Glendening to replace Brian Boyle on the fourth line, plus he's cheap.
Edler would upgrade the back end here and Nyquist would certainly help Vancouver's offense as the Sedin's could be gone.
I feel that Arizona will need another goalie that can step in if Raanta can't handle the load, especially if they think they'll be competing for a playoff spot.
Mike Green is still a solid offensive defenseman and I think he's worth it at $4 million, his numbers will go up with better players around him, especially on the PP.
This is whole thing is obviously far fetched, but one can dream.

It took me a minute to figure out that you were projecting ahead a year, which is hard to imagine. Getting JT would sure put the Red Wings back on the map, but then why on earth keep Zetterberg in the #2 centre spot?

Not sure the D is at all close to being up to snuff. Maybe there's a way to trade Zetterberg and or Abdelkader for some better D.

At forward, I'd forget about Vanek. He has the heart of a ... a ... a ... ok, he has no heart. If JT were going to come to Motown, he'd want better wingers than that. Tatar is decent, but you'd be better to trade 2-for-1 and get a Pacioretty, Marchand, Kucherov or Skinner than try to make a go of it with the likes of Vanek.

You can afford it: you're way overpaying Mantha for a second contract. He's great for a 22-year-old, but he's not GREAT. He's going to have to get a few more years under his belt.

Stop this cap dumping. It doesn't happen. Arizona isn't trading young Crouse for Howard. They can spend money on UFA and keep Prouse. You really don't understand the Clarkson move. Looks like Clarkson if forever on LTIR, so he isn't costing Vegas $$$$ or cap. But the declining Abdelkaker would cost the Vegas real $$$ and cap.
And one can dream of roster of 20.

Vegas still has to pay Clarkson, therefore they'd be paying Abdelkader less and they get a player who will be in the lineup every night. If cap dumping doesn't happen, explain the Bickell trade to Carolina or the Stepan trade to Arizona or the original Clarkson trade to Columbus. Cap dumping happens all the time.

Zetterberg is not going anywhere. Abdelkader isn't going to get you a better D unless you throw in a high draft pick. I agree that the D is not that good, but look at Pittsburgh, their D was NOT that good for both of their Cup runs, but they implemented a system to get around their average (at best) D-core. I think Vanek really liked Detroit and I saw more heart and passion than I've seen in a long time out of him last year. Maybe he was trying to earn a contract, but who knows. I think a chance to maybe win a cup towards the end of his career would hopefully give him a boost.
