LA offseason

Isles say no, Palms is still a good player and I would rather have him over any of the players you offered
Palms at 50% will require at least a 2nd

MTL says no
Dobes fulfill a role for us
Monty/Primeau timeline ends when Monty's contract does.
Dobes will be a starter in the AHL for 3 years at this point ready for the jump
Primeau/Dobes will play together until Fowler's done in NCAA in a few seasons and will take over Dobes AHL role as he leaves.

We got a Russian goalie overachieving that we have no plans for
Outside that even Miller serves a purpose short term even if mostly off ice and its more likely he leaves hockey to focus on his music career cause you can only split your focus so much .
MTL's Goalie system was barren before Hughes restocked it

You forgot multiple first to dump Dubois

No, we have no interest moving Eetu.

Assuming the Panthers re-sign Reinhart in the $10MM range they'll have about $10MM left over to sign a minimum of six regulars (5F, 1D) plus maybe a BUG (depending on what they do with Knight); they'll also need one to three 13/14F & 7D types. If they decide to bring back Montour and/or Stolarz, that's another big chunk of cap space gone. They don't seem to have anyone else to re-sign who's going to require a huge raise, but that's a lot of bodies to fit in not much cap space. It's not out of the question that Eetu is a guy they move to make some room for multiple cheaper guys.
