How would you sign Karlsson, McAvoy, Carlo, Donato, JFK, Acciari, Cehlarik next year?

Chara comes off the books +5
Karlssons old contract +6.5
That gets your 11 for Karlssons new contract
Extra 5 mil

Mcquid is done +2.75
That plus the extra 5 gets you enough to sign Acciari and cehlarik to bridge deals barring them going crazy this season and scoring 20+ goals each.

Send Heinen or JFK away with Krecji or Backes to dump their contract and sign McAvoy with the remaining money

Carlo and Donato will be interesting. I don't think Carlo will cost too much, we should be able to sign him for a 3mil @ 3 year contract. I have no idea how their going to play Donato this year if he goes off it could be tough to find that money.

Basically we have the money if we can get rid of Krecji's contract

i could see a trade like that happening, and boy would it ever be nice to have EK in the black and gold. i like it. we'd have to get creative with the salary cap in the coming seasons sure, but i think we could make it work if we're careful
