Team: 2020-21 Carolina Hurricanes

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 9, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I think we need to go all-in next year while we still have Dougie and Svech on the cheap.
The addition of Skjei makes Gardiner more than expendable. Brock McGinn is a great PK specialist but does not bring enough offense. Guys like Martinook and Lorentz are also proficient on the PK and bring other traits as well. Getting rid of Nino's and Reimer's cap hits would be great and clear some room to sign Dadanov to a 1 year, high dollar deal. The addition of Dadanov would really solidify the top 6 scoring with explosive scoring options at every turn. The one year term keep allows us to go for it, but then free's up the money to sign our UFA's following the season. The addition of Palmieri would replace Justin Williams leadership and experience and round out the top 9 perfectly. I would hate to give up Foegele especially to a division opponent but if that's what it took, I would be OK with the price. Having Lorentz as Foegele's replacement softens the blow. Re-signing TVR to a reasonable cap hit would be better than bringing in a different 7th defender who then needs to familiarize himself with the new team and system.

Having moved out both goaltenders, we could then acquire a true No.1 in Markstrom and use Nedelkovic, as the back-up as he is on a one way deal, to balance out the large contract.

I picked teams to trade these players to, but really any team would do. And if possible I would prefer to keep Foegele over Dzingel, but I think a team like NJD would be looking for youth and term.
