Description
Notes:
-CBJ picks Anton Silayev 4th overall, but does not sign him to an ELC straight out of the draft.
-My idea is to clear the roster logjams, most notably on defence. Mateychuk and Jiricek should both be on this roster next season.
-Greaves could be ready for at least a backup role, but I feel like rolling with three NHL goaltenders is smart with our injury history.
-Bringing in a veteran, stay-at-home defenceman to help mentor the young defenceman is a good idea I feel. Doesn't necessarily have to be Dillon.
-If relatively healthy, this team could potentially challenge for a wild card spot next season. A safe estimate is probably 6th in the metropolitan division, and 21st-24th in the league. Shouldn't expect consistent playoff appearances until at least 25/26, however 26/27 seems like a safer bet. Whatever new GM comes in will probably take the 24/25 season to assess what they're working with and what changes really need to be made.
-One major thing I'd like to outline. If this team is bottom 5 again, I believe it's time to consider a whole new approach. Not necessarily saying tear it down completely, but tough decisions will need to be made.

Canes pass. No need to burn a first on a 3LD. Especially one we don’t need, an OFD

Canes might have interest in Provorov, but it would not be at the expense of a 1st.

I'd expect it to be more like a 2nd + 3rd, and with half retention. He's an outstandingly reliable D-man who's good at nearly everything (puck moving, positioning, physicality, etc.) but not exceptional at anything.

If he can earn that spot, Brindley with Fantilli together again would be so sick
