$10M 8 years for Laine wow

Put in Vesalainen and Appleton in instead of 2 of the veterans. Also Morrissey and Buff won’t be paired together, they can each carry a pairing.

I think you could add a prospect like harkins and do without the rentention. Also don’t sign all these UFA’s. Vesalainen is 3lw, roslovic 3Rw and little and copp ar 2/3C (whichever one works best) appleton and 1 UFA like lindberg would be enough

On d pairings I would do
JoMo-pionk
Niku/beaulieu/kulikov-buff
Niku/beaulieu-poolman/kulikov

I also don’t think that Connor will get 8. On 6 years I think that 7.5 is the most he gets. Boeser is reportedly asking 7 on mid term. So as 2 years and 7.5 (while boeser is better)

I don’t disagree with that. That isn’t far off what he deserves

Save yourself 900k and don’t sign pominville

One more thing. Buyout window is closed. Can’t buy kulikov out

Ya I know... lol again Winnipeg is in trouble. I would’ve traded little but I doubt he waives his nmc

Trade Lowry, someone would offer up an okay pick/B prospect for him and that's almost $3M in cap space that can be replaced by someone signed for pretty cheap if needed, gotta wonder what Sheahan would cost at this point in the summer, I'm sure he could handle the 4C job just fine.

Sure, but damn that is a good deal for the team to have. He is underrated in my opinion. They have to keep some depth. Ask the hawks how important depth is. They have to find another way
