Quoting: papishark
Look at this team. take back the kappy trade and try to fit in cernaks 4mil offersheet. It cant be done without moving some other player you wont want to move.
If you take back the NJ trade then you get an extra 900k which will make the cap space about 1.15 mil
then sign Mikeyev 1 year at 1.5 mil instead which makes the cap space 2.4 mil
Don't sign Fast gives you another 1.25 mil in cap space making it 3.65 mil in total
Then bury Engvall in minors (didn't play very good towards end of season) gives you another 1mil making the total cap space 4.65
Sign Spezza at minimum so u save 50k (now you have about 4.7 mil in cap space )
You would also put in marincin instead of rosen
Sign Cernek with cap hit at 4 mil
Can also add Goat at minimum in there to have a 22 man roster
I did this while keeping Kappy and Kerf, and having a 22 man roster
This would be a better team imo than the one you show cause you're not trading any pieces (besides Dermot and Johnsson to clear up cap)
You will still have about 150k in cap space
