Description
Sabres will have over $21M to sign Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Pilut, and Thompson to new deals which should only take approximately $15M leaving $6M, the cap raise, and the possibility of Seattle taking Okposo in the expansion draft (Adds up to $15M) available to sign Dahlin to his new deal when the time comes.

Very doable

We also still have prospects such as

Marcus Davidsson
Ukko Pekka-Luukkonnen
Matej Pekar
Mattias Samuelsson
William Borgen
CJ Smith
Linus Weissbach
Jacob Bryson
Vasily Glotov

Would love to see it. Not only can Stone put up points, but his defensive game would help relieve some pressure of Mitts and allow him to use his offensive skill. Might bring us tight against the cap in a few years, but would be worth it.

Would be a very powerful offense. I love Mark Stone, he is so underrated but I don't think Ottawa lets him walk for nothing.

Would also offset nylander weak defensive play. Love the first two lines, 4th line is solid... that third line though may have issues. But all in all the team is looking solid. May have to pony up a bit more for skinner and stone but you have the space.

Not a bad idea, few things I'd change;

1) The offence is too heavily loaded in the top 6, this teams depth would get crushed come playoff time. Might be a bit smarter to take the $8M you gave Stone and invest it in another top 4 dman and maybe cheaper forward options. I think Thompson can develop into a Stone type player so use the cheap option to fill that space and keep the open cap space for other needs.
2) I wouldn't give a backup goalie $3M a season, even though Ullmark has been good this season. Just makes him or Hutton harder to move or unhappy when one clearly becomes the starter.
3) Definitely would try to move the Scandella contract, thats a terrible deal.
4) I think you'll have to do better than that to get the Berglund contract off the roster, Girgensons has been a bust and I don't think him alone is enough to take Berglund for just a 3rd.
5) Wouldn't throw Nylander into a top 6 role that fast, he hasn't even proven to be near that in the AHL for long enough (he's been good this year, thats it)
6) Sobotka is a good depth option. Keep him as a veteran on the third line to round out the lineup.

Maybe something like this?:
Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Sheary-Middlestadt-Okposo
Sobotka-Thompson-Nylander
4th line could be anything really and so could depth

Dahlin-Ristolainen
(get a top 4 for this spot)-Bogosian
McCabe-Nelson
Pilut would be the 7th

Same goalies is fine just watch the amount you would spend on them
