Description
Just a HYPOTHETICAL method of getting younger that is using internal assets exclusively. I don't think this would ever actually happen, just doing it for fun. We technically could field a young team without trading for a single player or signing anyone currently outside of our own system.

- JUST above the cap floor.

- Team's average age would be 27 years old.

- Sign TJ Hughes from the NCAA.

- Keep our 2024 1st round pick and pick Zeev Buium.

- Dump our vets for picks to use for rebuild assets. Send them to any team that will take them, the teams listed are just placeholders, any team that wants them is welcome to them.

Devils shouldn't be spending $5m on a player like Rakell. They can do more with that money and the 2nd rounder.

Says right in the description:

"Send them to any team that will take them, the teams listed are just placeholders, any team that wants them is welcome to them."

Any team that wants our vets and will give us picks to stockpile for our eventual full rebuild is more than welcome to them. We just need to offload them in this purely hypothetical scenario that would never actually happen.

Make it just a 2nd for Eller, and Smith 50%, and it’s closer to fair imo.

That's fair. The picks and teams are really just placeholders, I don't really care what picks we get, as long as we aren't sending them for nothing.

This is a purely hypothetical team that would never actually happen anyways. No team is going to exclusively promote internally, not trade for a single player or sign a single UFA.

I read that, but not sure many teams thar would line up to take on that contract with that length, but one fewer team to consider as a placeholder
