playing off my last post, we need desperately to get rid of the older players who are contributing nothing (carter, nieto, acciari, harkins) and i'd obviously like to move players like jarry, rakell, smith, graves but not sure who will be takers for those contracts...
i will try a couple versions of this, moving diff pieces...
---------Rules though first to limit moves and try to make things more realistic--------
-I can only move 1 of Rakell or Smith
-I can only move 1 of Jarry or Graves
-Every trade where i send out one of those 4 contracts must bring significant salary back
-Free agents can only be signed to 1-2 year deals, meaning i'll have to go for bounce-back candidates or lower tier players
-I can't move anyone with a full NMC (Sid, Geno, Letang, Karlsson, Rust)
-when possible, lean towards guys Dubas is familiar with
-limit of 4 trades
V1
-Resign a BIG UFA to a 1 yr, above market value deal for 1 last hurrah (Guentzel, Marchessault, Tarasenko, Tiffoli)
-Jarry gets moved out, blomqvist called up, 3 way goalie split to start to see who runs with it
-no one will touch the graves deal
-Smith is traded out west
-carolina does not make SC final, draft picks stay as is
After free agency is over and if they’ve struck out on secondary players like Heinen, then maybe. Now, it’s way premature.
Maybe. I would be really disappointed if they don't get Heinen done (same goes for DeBrusk tbh). But those 4th line minutes I think should be filled internally if possible and I can't see Acciari being a better option than what's down in Providence, other than experience. Who knows though
